So turning off nicknames should help lag?

or buying a better computer

the real problem era has to solve (which duznt concern poor jkl only) is the lag that every european player has
ive never seen anyone in europe under 100ms and i never go lower than 140ms (getting better internet is not an option since i already have the best on the market), plus when other people r using internet i go up to insane lag, even 500-600ms

There is no solution. There is a reason most MMO's host different servers for different continents -- it's the only way to give every localization a decent experience.

The Lag problem, from my experience because awhile back I had to play with a window the size of a hand and nicknames and all affects off to keep my lag under 200fps, but was always above 100fps...

But now since i got the V6, I have it in fullscreen, all affects and nicknames on and i average 59m/s. Thats the solution, and if lag is affecting you in v6, revert back to v5 if that when you didnt have problems, not rocket science.

Stefan lives in europe i dont know why lag there is atrocious, maybe they need better computers...

Australia is far away on a "island" per-say, and there is just about nothing in australia, so either move away from australia or shoot kangaroos as a holdup to get the government to use better internet... idk.

Better computers will not solve lag problems, and not everyone who lives in Europe lag, far from it.

The Era main server is located in Texas if my knowledge serves correctly.

And Aussies own you, Gtfo.

I went ahead and optimized the movement system a little bit more. Basically I just removed a lot of redundant function calls and calculations. Some things were being recalculated 50+ times every frame, but now they're only calculated once.

You probably won't notice a big difference (if at all) because, as Chris said, most of the slowdown is due to redrawing nicknames every .05 seconds.

Hey dude, don't downplay that. You're the guy who gave Era the right to vote. Combined with this change that you admit yourself is worthless, I don't see how anyone could feel justified criticizing you.

I was just following up because I said I'd look into it:
