i have the same issue.. lagging so bad n i cant even moving. But it only happening with my sniper, my alts is fine tho.. so its weird.. does some know why?

We have EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE...
my RK is lagging while my slave merchant isnt.

I have submitted to warp portal multiple times about this and tried to coordinate with my ISP but with no results.
Finally got the bug squashed with lowerping.

LowerPing isn't going to be a permanent fix. LP and its kind will always reduce lag even for the best connections to the servers (I'm sure if Oda used LowerPing to connect at the office even he'd notice at least a minor difference). The issue is that the real cause of lag isn't related to the stuff that LowerPing helps.

Lag spikes will still happen, furthermore, LowerPing Beta is not always going to be free. Having to rely on it to (temporarily and not entirely) fix an issue isn't a great idea.

Does your RK have a guild and your merchant doesn't?

By the way if you're case is same as this one, lowerping do help...really don't know what's the cause but as long as I can play that isn't really a issue.

Hey, just installed both, but should I change something on this one? I'm not from USA btw. (if it's something to do lol)

You should just go through the West Coast servers and connect to each one and after connecting press the "Ping" button. Which ever server provides the lowest number of Ping is the one you should stay connected to.

[Joaco]

Tiger 2 gives 218 ping and the lowest I can get, it's provided by Frog 1 (US: Texas & Aion) which gives 188 ping. Should I use Tiger or Frog? Cause Frog1 isn't a West Coast server.

[Opethian]

Use the West Coast one. The reason you get lower pings on non-west coast servers is because they are closer to you but you always want to go with servers that are the closest to iRO and have the lowest ping. I live on the east coast of the states and the east coast servers give me about 20 ping which is really nice sounding, but Lowerping only helps if you choose a server close to the game you are trying to connect to.

[Joaco]

Oh! I see. Thank you so much, I'll test them on today's woe

Hey guys, all this latenz prog are sh**, sorry, don't work..!

I got a 50k net & high end pc.
Please look on this video you can see whats happen at me.
I non stop click ingame... there are few lags
http://de.twitch.tv/...3kk/b/379437468

now say me what i can do? my latenz is 26

[Joaco]

Both programs really worked for me. Lowerping made miracles, I can freely snap with my sura, it's like I had 120 AGI lol! It worked great during last sat woe, the only thing is when you go through portals, it takes more time to respawn on the other map, but meh, it just happens sometimes, not always. Also, I can sit down and stand up like I never could. It's awesome! Thanks guys for this

[Medicine]

I gotta say, I am just tired of these bandaids.

Lowerping
/effects
WTFast
etc.

After almost 10 years... it is the worst it has been in my memory. That just makes no sense. You would think it would get better after a decade, not worse.

[Joaco]

It depends.. I have no lag at all now, I'm not even from USA.. no lag during woe, that's priceless

[enstain]

This is not my solution, but I have tested it on my computers and my friends computers and it solves the lag problem. No programmes, downloads and other crap needed. Also it was found somewhere on this forum.

"So here is the reason :

This is caused by a TCP/IP feature used in windows by default known as
the Nagle Algorithm. This feature allows windows to delay the
transmission of TCP packets in order to save bandwidth by grouping
packets into a single transmission. This can cause the aknowledgment
of a TCP transmission to be delayed by up to 200 ms, by default. And
in RO, the game server does not send the client certain information
(such as movement of monsters or players) untill the previous
transmission has been aknowledged by your client. This is why some
people outside NA are experiencing such a HUGE lag despite a normal
latency score.

So here is the solution :

From a command prompt (usually in All Programs -> Accessories ->
Command Prompt) run "regedit"
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
Browse the items under interfaces until you find one that has an
IPAddress entry matching the network interface you want to affect
(typically LAN IP addresses start with 192.168 or 10.0); note that if
your IP address is automatically assigned by a DHCP server you may
need to look for a matching DhcpIPAddress instead of IPAddress
Right-click on the interface and select New > DWORD (32-bit)
Value, name it "TcpAckFrequency"
Right-click the new TcpAckFrequency value and select Modify, enter
"1" (Hexadecimal radio button should be selected)
Right-click on the interface and select New > DWORD (32-bit)
Value, name it "TCPNoDelay" (note that TCP is all uppercase this time
that's intentional)
Right-click the new TCPNoDelay value and select Modify, enter 1
(Hexadecimal radio button should be selected)
Verify that both TcpAckFrequency and TCPNoDelay now show up in the
adapter's property list with types "REG_DWORD" and values "0x00000001"
Exit regedit and reboot (reboot is necessary for the changes to
take effect!)



Let's hope that it ll help other players. For me it has solved my
problem for now. And i would sudgest you to report this to the devs of
this game because they should get rid of this issue by allowing the
game server to send to the client certain information even if the
previous transmission hasn't been aknowledged yet."

[MrTyranitar]

I play with that, and LowerPing. Doesn't help. It's like this for many people, not just me, although I suspect it may be due to WarpPortal's ISP issues as of late.

[PearI]

Lowerping doesn't help me, I almost quit the game back in 2011 because the lag was so bad. Oddly enough, the latency was fine during the first 3 weeks when I started playing RO, which was why I even played iRO in the first place.

Then a friend of mine introduced me to laglessproxy and I was LAG FREE. I subscribed to the service immediately and remained lag free up until the merge. The perceived lag was the main reason I was opposed to the 3 way merge, and I turned out to be right. I still lag with my proxy subscription and it's even worse without it so there.

[Javsy]

hope this would be fixed now after Oda's last statement here.

why dont have any statement abou "error ai.lua" ?? this prob when im trying summon my ranger wolf..thats our problem now.

[Magicpwrs]

It's impossible for me to play this game efficiently without lowerping, virtually p2p once the beta isn't free anymore.

[Facekiller]

issues with lag? use this third party program.... issues with bots? use THIS third party program... now we need a 3rd party program to remove non spamming bots, one for DCs, one to stop cheaters, one for fixing issues with updates.... why do we even have a GM team when every fix is "use this 3rd party program"?

[Javsy]

Not really want to derail this thread, but the only way to prove someone is botting is implementing a feature to do the checks. You can't pay people to be GMs to be sent on each player's homes just to monitor their game activity.

Humans and machines has their own limitations. That why having both is better to fill in their gaps.

On-topic: I agree that this should not be remedied with 3rd party program. I agree that this problem lacks some sort of drive from the management. But on my personal observation things have improved compared on the first few months after the merge. Problem is still is there but still not as worse as before. Or maybe it's just me?

Lowerping makes my client say 'failed to connect'. Is this the problem mentioned in the first post?

Also this page is making my avast go nuts saying "http://erem.bescompu...uter.com/6.jpg" is infected.

[ElenaGilbert]

i guess lowerping beta has ended Q_Q

[sedut]

So the free Lowerping beta has ended. Is there any better alternatives for this?

[Casper6060]

Without lowerping the game is goddamn lag
