Any fix for Elf Ranged Lag yet?
Comments
Um, no. The "fix" in question doesn't negate the downright shoddy optimization that causes the elf lag in the first place.
By your logic just because somebody can turn their graphics down Mabi never has memory leaks. (And I say that coming from a person who knows how wimpy a computer mabi can run comfortably on....)
We can argue about the semantics or causes or even whether it is misnamed all day. It doesn't change that it occurs, frequently, on a wide range of systems and internet connections.
The facts are simple: Client pauses anywhere from a fraction of a second to seconds when an elf fires and arrow. It does not occur with other races. If we're going by mods, at least one other person out there has had success throwing out redundant packets.
Do I think it's game breaking? Obviously not or I wouldn't be here as long as I have. Do I think it's over-emphasized? Yes. But misnamed or not, it exists, and likely has multiple causes, all of which lead to two words: Bad optimization.
Nah, this is what the escape button looks like as a lowbie.
Or if it did, it took many seconds of mashing.
Escape key mashing (and clicking on the skill bubble) works "okay" for when I get stalled aiming Thunder while rafting (I swear I'm teleporting to different spots on the raft as far as the server is concerned), but not for getting this ranged attack thing to stop.
Then again, even getting hit and knocked back doesn't fix it. (which usually cancels ranged attack, and many other skills)
It just likes to go away on its own. Or, that's what it feels like.
Maybe next time it happens, I'll see if I can at least summon a pet while I'm stuck.
Though to be fair, I still can't get it to happen consistently.
It's one of those "when you least expect it" things that happens just when I'm getting in a groove of Elven archery.
At least I don't get it when using Magnum Shot or Crash Shot.
Or Urgent Shot.
If someone can test these two things and report their results, that'd be great.
it is an old issue that already get reported a lot of times, no need to report, you can even try the bug yourself
Oh, I have it checked.
Always!
It just... wasn't cancelling right away, like it normally would in regular situations.
I mean, you could disconnect, I guess. But you'll most likely log in lying dead anyway, so same results. Less painful.
