As of late I have been noticing the server taking more and more crash's to it's system, is it anything to be worried about, or has it something to do with the change over? I mean, everythings ok, isn't it?! *is going mental* Just thought I would bring this up to ease my mind... :)

My opinion is that it's to do with events not being planned and spaced out appropriatly. If they where, the server wouldn't explode from the weight or 3 DM events at once...on A...

Pfft... I remember back when the servers really crashed. Today's crashes are nothing compared to those days.

I haven't even complained about lag in a long time either.

Aye, listen lad *puffs on a cigar* Back in the ol' times when there were 8 DM's on did the server crash by the pure awesomeness of so many on at the same time. *sagenod*

It's been acting up without DMs online, as well. Dunno why, but it isn't related to the migration. Nothing on the current server has changed yet.

Weird. I know it gets really hit up hard by resource overload. But another issue might be the latest ATI drivers. I noticed a dramatic slowdown in performance on the server after I installed ATI's 10.1 drivers.

Think it could be the item count going up again also? People collecting more junk and such.

It's not just NWN, though. The whole server has been painfully slow at times lately, so I am not sure if it's because of item count or something coming from NWN. I think that would only affect how NWN runs. Of course, there can be many reasons. Should have a look how people are collecting junk again...

10.2 drivers don't even let you run NWN, 10.1 drivers barely let you. 9.11 drivers are best for NWN but *Drumrolls* Won't run newer games like AVP(3) or BF:BC 2!

Just for that, my next cart will be Nvidia

I am so glad others are suffering similiar problems as myself, I was beginning to worry it was just me :shock:

I have a very capable laptop with nvidia graphics card specifically for online gaming. I have never, not ever, had problems with serious lag on any previous servers, and to be honest, never seemed to have issues on this server until the update.

Since I have updated my NWN with haks/heads/hands and the latest Amia Hak etc I suffer from really bad lag spikes, so bad it affects conversations, or even simple things like swapping items, rummaging through inventory, travel.
Worse then this though, is the hunting, it seems to have become near impossible for me to hunt without suffering from incredible lag.

I wouldnt normally complain, but it has become quite infuriating to consistantly suffer lag related deaths, caused specifically by some huge lagg spike.

Biting the fugue bullet for this is a bitter pill to swallow.
Anychance I can get a vestment of Lag defence for my toons?
Or at least some advise as to how this lagg curse can be resolved?

Cheers :D

I've not had any issues lately. I remember back in the days when Amia's ping would spike so high you would click your mouse, wait over a minute then be teleported... aah, the good old days of 1000+ ping.

The HAK wouldn't cause the spikes as little of the hak has actually been implemented. Beyond a few crafting items which shouldn't cause that issue. No tilesets yet, no monsters yet, no special effects yet, no PLC's yet. All the things that would possibly cause lag on the server have yet to be implemented from my understanding.

Oh and I have 10.3 ATI drivers installed sorry, and they run NWN. Though loading takes much longer.

Try 10.3b, though it's been crashing my Oblivion more often...

I am downloading gigabytes of data, so I am not surprised.
