Damn still no input?

Well I tested the game on my laptop and it runs fine so I now know the problem isn't with the servers.

On my desktop though, the game still takes forever to do simple things like load up NPCs, load their dialogue, using the airship takes no less than 5 minutes (of a completely black screen), I tend to run into unloaded areas frequently that are bare of either textures or are "blank" for lack of a better word, it can take up to 2 minutes for my map to load, crafting can sometimes make the game bug out... One good thing I found though is that while the game is lagged while I'm opening a treasure chest, the game gives me items for every time I clicked during the lag, though it only lagged once on the chests so far. I got a few circlets from it when it finally loaded.

My laptop is an Intel C2D 2.1ghz with a 4650m and 4gb DDR3 ram, W7H using older catalyst drivers.

My desktop is an Intel 3570k with a 5870 and 8gb DDR3 (2133 OC) RAM, W7P using the latest catalyst drivers.

I guess I'll have to do some experimenting to isolate the issue. I'll report back with findings in case anyone else runs into this strange bug in the future.
