Dunno what it is, but this is the ONLY Source based game I cannot run smoothly. In fact, I can hardly run it at all at this point. It's just horribly choppy and stuttery for me. :(

The only 3 reasons that I can think of off of the top of my head Is...

1: Your location is far from California, California is where Nexons HQ is so the further you are from it the more likely you are to lag.

2: Your PC specs aren't high enough

3: The game is in Beta So I'm sure it's going to be super laggie even if you are closer to Cali because of Bugs and stuff.

1. Well I am in Florida...

2. My PC specs are not high, but for a Source based game I don't see why I can't run it smooth as butter like all the rest do :(

3. I figured some of the stuff going on for me is atributed to the beta state of the game, but then again the game has been out overseas for like 2 years or something and should be fairly bug free at this point (not bug free, but at least fairly stable you know what I mean).

We will see what happens when they issue the patch this week or next I guess.

1. Shouldn't be much of an issue, I'm in PA and have virtually no lag what so ever. Is the lag FPS lag or internet lag? (fairly obvious to tell)

2. Just being a Source game doesn't mean it will have similar performance to other Source games, look at TF2, probably the worst performing Source game there is, much worse then all the others, even those on the same engine.

Another thing to look at.. is the game jittery and choppy while just running around? or while inside of a battle?

Yeap, thats a big difference and the only thing that worries me at this point is relying on the group leader to host the instance.

btw hit level 20 last night and got my last full set of armor woot!! I still don't see a lot of people playing on line. So if you are playing on East server add : Nwwb to your friends list so we know how many we have in game.

i don't actually watch tv as it comes on actual tv or w/e. i tend to catch up years later on interesting shows. otherwise the xmas break hits and no new shows for 2-4 weeks and i lose interest.

the last show i just had to watch every week was battlestar galactica. and the long breaks in teh last couple seasons were killer.

i just finished how i met your mother a month or two ago, so i have to wait for 3 years for it to finish before watching the new and future episodes. even though it is awesome.

i'm not a big fan of olivia munn, so i'm not to hyped for the episodes with her in them. chuck scores some good cameo casting though. although i hated the episode with lana lang from smallville, since i hate her as an actress and all of her characters in tv or movies.

unless i try and catch up on smallville, i'm pretty much out of tv for the most part.

1. Yeah, I don't get any lag with serves in CA from here normally. Unless the server is total garbage of course. And it's FPS lag not internet lag :(

2. Yeah I also know that just because it's a Source engine based game doesn't mean it'll automatically run good for me. I just expected it to run smoother for me considering the pedigree of the engine and the fact I've never had any problems running a Source game prior to this one.

Another thing to look at.. is the game jittery and choppy while just running around? or while inside of a battle?

It's jittery and choppy all the time. It takes a mega long time to load into the game (and load out of it), it takes a long time for all the assets for the game to load (textures etc) and battles are even worse :(

mabinogi heroes as it's called in korea, has only been out for 6-8 months there.

Mabinogi Heroes was released in beta form in Korea in July 2009, so it's been 14 going on 15 months now :D (sorry, I go to OnRPG and ppl love to argue small crappy things like this lol)

ahh ok, f2p betas for korean games are often several months long and often don't have wipes. so it's probably been out of beta for 6-8 months. still it only has the 3 classes(one more than us- evie) there are 2 more planned, the archer and the giant melee dude.

at least that's what i've been reading. not saying my sources are entirely reliable. :p

It's very possible for them to add the Archer person and the giant melee guy. Just because Mabinogi had Elves (mainly focused on archery) and Giants (mainly focused on pure melee)

Though I'm not quite sure how they will really use the archer unless it has some melee options as well. Just because I'd find it to be a little boring to shoot, run, shoot, run, shoot, and run some more.

Than again everyone likes there own type of gameplay. But if they did make a giant character I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Giants will look in the game :D

But ya I looked and I can't find the big bang theory on tonight :cry: So I guess I can't watch it, Lol. But I agree Treemonster, I'd rather just wait to buy the season Dvds because they have no commercials~ and you can watch episode back, to back, to back if you choose to, Lol.

I found out about this game a little late and all the keys were gone by the time i searched everywhere. 'Even tho every time someone registers they get 2 and we should never run out of keys'

I will post my 2 extra keys that i receive when registering or PM them to a mod.

This week in science news Image by Steve Johnson via Pexels Catch up on some of the latest science and out-of-this-world updates that arrived throughout the week: The end of the universe: A new Cornell study suggests the universe will not expand forever. Because of the negative dark energy, it could stop expanding and collapse into a "big crunch" in 20 billion years. The impact of traffic: Researchers found that urban traffic pollution, specifically nitrogen oxides and fine particles, quickly alters the atmospheric electric field measurably in urban areas. This indicates that atmospheric electricity could become a valuable tool to monitor urban air quality and activity. The light of life: A study revealed that living organisms emit a faint, invisible glow called ultraweek photon emission. This natural light significantly decreases after death and increases during stress, offering a highly promising new method for noninvasive medical health diagnosis. Mysteries of time: A new study suggests that the direction of time is not fixed in certain quantum systems. Standard equations of energy loss remain time-symmetric, which means laws can theoretically run backward or forward. This week in gaming The latest issue of Pulasthi's Weekend PC Game Deals curates several exciting games on sale this week. Epic Games Store is now hosting Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper as free-to-claim titles this week, which you can add to your library. Latest issue of Xbox Free Play Days features four new games: PGA TOUR 2K25, Two Point Museum, Assetto Corsa, and Dead by Daylight. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass got another Call of Duty addition, the latest soccer game from EA, an indie road trip hit from last year, and more. Summer sales have made NVIDIA's gaming service cheaper, and it has added support for seven new titles. That said, here are some more stories from the gaming world: Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely From the review corner This week, Steven got his hands on the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X internal PCIe sound card, primarily intended for headphone wearers. In the list of pros, it comes with a high-quality headphone amp, low-latency communication enhancements via ASIO v2.3, offers 256-times the audio quality of CDs via DSD256, and has great build quality. On the other hand, it's a bit on the pricier side, only offers stereo output over speakers, and has no EMI shielding. More price drops! We got you covered with some hot tech deals all week. For some reason, if you missed out on a great discount, here is a summary of some recent deals that are still alive: GEEKOM X16 Pro at GEEKOM - $1,119.67 (17% off) Acer 4K Webcam for PC/Mac with All-Metal Unibody Sculpted - $59.99 (14% off) Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB - $369.99 (42% off) Nothing Ear Wireless Earbuds Bluetooth - $73.15 (51% off) PowerColor Reaper AMD Radeon RX 9070 16GB - $579.99 (17% off) To view all of our recent deals, click here.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By MrElectrifyer · Posted

      It certainly is a waste of time clicking it if you're not interested in Windows 11's development. If that were the case for you, you could easily ignore the headline and move on given the headline makes it clear that's what the article is about. Instead, you're contradicting yourself here calling it a waste of time yet clicking on the headline and commenting... If it were a totally different topic being presented than what's stated in the headline, then you'd certainly have a point, 'cause that's totally deceptive and unavoidable if not actually interested. On the contrary, here you can totally avoid it if you're truly not interested.

      No, it did not work. I did not read the article. I saw the title in my Feedly feed and came to continue putting pressure about such titles on a website I used to love. In fact, based on your reply, it seems you think it's fine to visit click bait title articles to find out what it's about, to waste people's time. That's up to you, mate. I remember when news websites had pride in their content and therefore didn't need to resort to cheap tactics.
