Randomly while playing, I won't be able to move, attack, or use any hotkeys (sometimes if I press it enough times, Fly Wings will work) unless I alt+tab, or get Giant Fly Winged by my party.

This is very inconvenient as it happens at any point, so it can be mid-mob, while pulling, etc.

Lowerping does not fix the issue, it will still happen with it active. I can safely confirm it is not a hard-drive issue, and that my computer is well over-qualified to be running RO.

Anyone else have this issue? I can't pinpoint when it started happening, mostly because I attributed it to really bad lag in the past before around September when I noticed alt+tabbing fixed it.

Tracert if it helps:

It doesn't sound like it's a network issue

You posted on the last thread asking if ALT+Tab worked

Try the link there if you haven't.

Also can you post a list of the system resources that are being used and possibly the event logs from the time the application freezes up?

Yeah if I come across this same problem I'll try ALT+Tabbing to see if it works, but I think the link posted by TheUraharaShop may have a fix.

What was the fix posted in the linked thread, exactly? If it's this one, I always play on High Performance which defaults to "never" (verified this) for the "turn off hard disk after" option.

If it is indeed an issue of RO accessing the hard-drive, why does alt+tabbing fix it (temporarily)?

It's a bug in the client and nothing more.

Is there anything that can prevent it? Or is it just something to put up with? If it's that, well I've been doing that for awhile, just wanted to know if anyone else has had the issue and if so, what can prevent it.

I'm doing alot of digging around. I've seen other issues with clients freezing...

Some one downloaded a different client and their client stopped freezing, this was back in 2006 though.

Just a random question, are you running a Full/Low Profile GPU or an On board GPU? If Full/Low then can you remove it and use the Onboard?

I am not sure what you're talking about but I have RO set to run off of my video-card, not the integrated one.

Low/High Profile aka Discrete GPU is like an NVIDA or Radeon Graphics Cards

and integrated card would be like the Intel HD 3000-4000 and would only have an output directly on your Mother Board via VGA/HDMI/DVI

I was wondering if you had a Discrete GPU to try running the game with out the GPU and on the integrated. You'll have to remove your GPU to do this.


PS: what are your system specs?
Can you do it with CPU Z? And then click Validate...

Nice system BTW

So what I've found so far is that it may be a Direct X issue.


You have Direct 11, try changing the Direct X settings for in iRO to 9, 10 or Open GL to see if your game still freezes.

At the very least you may need a driver update
