So, I just got enough courage to download the game again, I got this new computer and it could run alot of triple A games very well, What i seem to be having an issue with though, is my favorite game, Mabinogi
-I noticed when i logged in, everything is more smoother, but the gameplay is not fluent. Whenever i used a skill, such as smash, or defense, the skill gets delayed an extra 3 seconds, and when i try to use a basic attack, the character is just standing there, nothing doing anything for a bit.
-I tried summoning and teleporting, and the delay still occurs, i have also tried turning off quest displays. Nothing
The only concern i have is, why is this game giving me issues?
My specs if anyone is concerned, i would also give out my skype and discord if anyone can assist me with this issue
- Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4150 CPU @ 3.50GHz
-Microsoft Windows 8.1 (build 9600), 64-bit
-NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM)
-GTX 745 (GeForce Series)
One last Thing, I have A recording of the issue at hand, Please talk to me, so you can see the thing that im talking about

There is a guide on how to disable Nagle's algorithm, and it solves 99% of the issues regarding slow skill loading (assuming your internet is not acting up) on the Mabinogi Wiki. I personally don't have it disabled and Mabinogi runs fine for me, but I know lots of people disable it solely for Mabinogi.

WARNING: Only do this if you are confident you know what you are doing and following instructions 100%, as you are going into registry files, and messing something up in there can be critical to your PC.
-It did not work
Besides that from what I have researched windows 8.1 has compatibility and performance issues with certain games. With Mabinogi using extremely outdated engines you may continue encounter issues. Honestly I would recommend downgrading to windows 7 lol. If that's not possible I advise taking some time to review what kind of processes and features are running in the background that you don't need.
Other than that, knowing what server you're playing on would be greatly helpful. If you're trying to play on Ch1 Alexina for example, I can tell you that the servers are at fault for your lag. Changing Channel would help greatly. The lag on Ch1 has been confirmed by playing with multiple people from several locations meaning several paths and IPs.
I would be hesitant to say that it is anything wrong with your laptop, especially if you're able to play other games well enough. Given your setup, Mabinogi probably isn't going to make use of your Geforce though. Still the same ongoing lack of care for Optimus users, that being said, integrated graphics on Intel is more than enough for playing Mabinogi.
So here is how you do it for windows 8.1 permanently...
Press Windows Key + R, type services.msc and hit enter, find Windows Search in that list - right click and select properties, from the drop down menu that says "Startup type" select Disabled, click apply. Done.
I suggest doing this for Superfetch too while you're in there.
If not I have a few more tricks up my sleeve for you.
