Delay and such

Hi I'm currently getting random delay once I've been in the game for awhile, but for an hour or so I'll be playing with no lag or delay at all. It only fixes itself whenver I restart my computer, but I'm getting tired of having to lose a spot on the server just to restart my computer to fix this issue, here are my PC specs:

Processor: AMD Anthlon II x255
4 Gigs of ram
64 bit OS

Yes my drivers are up to date, I've already tried that.

So I'm looking for some answers because through all this chaos I still love the game and what its brung to the MMO community.

Also side not if it matters or not; Chat doesn't delay people see my comments right away, in the town it takes awhile for the NPCs to load when this happens...

When you get this "delay" have a look at the top right, there should be an icon that resembles a wireless network icon, hover over it and it will bring up your Send/Receive for packets, during the "delay" time does the send one equal close to "0" ? perhaps under 100 or 50?
Are you from the UK and use BT internet?

giving CPU, RAM and OS only, doesn't helping at all...
you have to give full details of your PC specs

Ahh I restarted my computer after I saw these responses, let me get back on to see if it fixed the issue for now.
King how would be able to give you full PC specs?

- The delay is gone after restarting my comp, my packet sending is at about 50-150, then jumps to 400 randomly, receiving is at about 3700+.
- I'm located in Arizona btw.

Sometimes my packet sending will go down to a mere 0 and stay at low double digits for a good while...

That's your ISP then, what is your ISP and what country are you in?

I edited my post up there saying where I was located :P but I'm in Arizona, US.:D

The Bump :D

If you feel the game freezing, it is your PC not powerful enough.
Get better pc specs.

If you feel the delay when you changing equipment, then it means your connection problems.
Cheat way, restart your router. If still doesn't help, make sure no one in your house is downloading things (MUST NOT HAVE ANY TORRENT DOWNLOADER OPEN). If it still won't help, then please buy new Internet plans :P

Lol my computer handles the game perfectly fine, the router is literally on the other side of the wall. My cousin has no issues and he's just across from my room, I don't understand why my comp is pain in my arse. -_-

now I know the problems! Use LAN, not WIFI, it will save your life :P

I have this problem as well, except the RECEIVING goes down to 0. My sending is always working fine.

Also having these problems, running the game at max settings and 60 fps, but sending goes to 0 and receiving stays in the 1000s

Having the same issue, there is no problem with my ISP or computer. Issue only started yesterday after a couple hours of play time. Now it is continious, does not matter if I restart or not.

Most likely it is a problem on the servers end.

I'm beginning to think its a server problem, some zones seem to be hosted on a server that some ISP's have problems with.

Definitely a server problem.. Created a new character on Ultros and another JP server and didnt have any issues. My main is on Coeurl and was having extremely high receive pings.

How would I be able to setup a LAN connection for myself?

A LAN connection to a server? I don't think it works like that dude. LAN is usually just for connections between other computers.

10 years old using the internet and I still suck at using it, hoorah!

I am getting this too its really annoying. I'm playing on a high end machine, I have a 70mb broadband connection. Problem is not my firewall.

My send drops to 0 after having played the game for an hour, but I am still receiving 3000+. Its so annoying to see a mob, attack, nothing happen and then someone else comes in and attacks.

Anyone have any suggestions how to fix this?

Well Mirth, you and I are in the same boat. I just hope its the servers issue then I won't have to really look into it.

I lol'd. But yea, LAN meets Local Area Network, its what people do for big gaming parties at ones house. They bring over the consoles, and connect them via LAN, so that multiple people can play together with friends on multiple consoles or PC's.

Just thought I'd hop on here to say that I've got the same issue and I'm on Ragnarok.

I'll wait it out, see if that changes anything.

Still having this issue, it has nothing to do with prime time either as its 4am PDT.
