    As you all can see, I do not answer or argue because, unlike others, I have little free time and I am not interested in losing it in discussions that add nothing to what I already know.

    So, as days ago I reported the anomaly of latency and loading times that made impossible any attempt to play (in this game and only in this one, I repeat), now I report the return to normality as well: I have done some runs from Monday to yesterday, and everything has normalized, that is, it has returned to the values prior to my report, which are more than acceptable on my side as far as I'm concerned.

    If someone on the company side intervened, as it could be, given the no longer anomalous results of the tests towards the servers, I thank him/them.

    Same. Got a semi-decent PC and 300mbps fiber net, but its still lag esp. when we port to a map or a bunch of mobs approaching..

    You know whats funny? When experiencing big lag, look at the clock on your computer...

    :rolleyes: Exactly. I have timed how long it takes to for map to load. averages 30-40secs
    Would be so lovely to return to normal play and load times.

    I know I can not help, but to me personally the problem is still not present at the time: I actually have 50-60ms in game with 4g network latency 35-45m, that's pretty fine for my low expectations, and map's loading time is "as usual" considering such parameters.

    However, some of my guildmates are now complaining about the same problem as you: and some of them have fiber with 5-10ms latency. The curious thing is that when I had problems, they were able to play without difficulty.

    In any case, I guess it will soon be a non-problem: Bigpoint seems to have disappeared, ditto its "DSO team", so I suggest to don't worry for lags cause the path of no return is well taken (and, if this were not the case, it would be smart if the company gave a signal of state in life, cause more and more players are drawing their own conclusions).

    That said, if someone on the developer side resolves the lag issue definitively and for everyone, better anyway. I just could suggest you to read this thread meanwhile, translating it in the language you like more: https://board-en.drakensang.com/threads/netkapcsolodas-tesztelese-keses-lag-hibaelharitas.84557/

    Remember also to always check your DL / UL bandwidth besides of the sole ping indicator, and the CPU occupation: your computer may be downloading something large in background (for example, Windows updates) or having a hanged process in memory. But of course these issues will reverberate on all the activities you perform on your PC, and not just on this game.

    This is not exactly what I was pointing on :) Much more to check the clock, what it is showing. I noticed the big lags appears always on whole hour (xx:00). Sometimes few seconds off, I quess it depends on server clock, not computers.
    Oh and my lags are more like 5-20 secs.

    I am aware and I know players who are having lags even if they are using cable, in fact some of them are not even able to play the game at all since the map is not loading at all, and the issue is clearly not at their side.

    For the last 4-5 months its unable for many gamers to change maps without a min delay of 10-20-30'' sec.. As me as well ... and hapens in all maps : cities , parallel, dungeons , final bosses .Playing the game since 2014, I' ve never been so nervous. Its in vain to follow teams , to kill the Slangs in chests..I have prime net VDSL 100 Mbs connection and the only game - page that is been infected and lags is DSO..Tired to see the Cat of Kingshill , walking through the map ..It takes half of tiime seeing the yellow page than farm ..and Deluxe is counting , Try to fix this issue , think its been mentioned from many of gamers, for such a long time !

    The problem with the game is that it downloads currently needed files while you play. What's even more funny, all these files are temporary so sooner or later they will be removed from your PC after some amount of time. It doesn't matter how fast your internet is because download speed from their servers is just bad. After 10 years nothing has changed with that. It's even worse because there is more files to download. Players should have a choice to download only necessary files or download all files to play the game without annoying short freezes or watching all models pop in. Years back I thought that was caused by my old PC with Core 2 Quad, 4GB of RAM and HDD. Now I have Ryzen 7 5800X, 32GB RAM DDR4 CL16 3800MHz, 1TB NVMe SSD and RTX 2080 Super. The situation is still the same, only framerate is higher o_O

    Btw. devs should think about replacing an ancient DirectX 9 to some nower API. According to Steam hardware survey, most of the users have CPU with at least 4 cores. DirectX 11 (still limited to 4 cores) provides multicore draw calls, while DirectX 9 is limited only to single core draw calls. We could expect higher and more stable framerate if graphics wouldn't be touched.

    Hi, I just entered the test server, I have a lvl 10 character, everything play well, the map changes in 5 seconds.

    I enter the Heredur server where I play, 25 sec brown screen on each map, I'm fed up, I'm tired of this. I want to buy in-game premium and other things, but solve this problem first

    Just make a full backup of %TEMP%\DSOClient folder then restore it after changing computer, reformatting the disk, cleaning Windows with some automated software, reinstalling the game from scratch.

    Never delete the content of that folder, despite too many people's suggestions to the contrary, unless you're encountering a really otherwise unsolvable error.

    This was my experience at least, and the last Nebula error I do remember is lost in time.

    Agreed, it's funny that files that are effectively an essential part of the game client are stored there. Not to say worse.
