Experiencing really slow gameplay.

The worst monsters in the Hearthlands warp the fabric of space and time..

Experiencing really slow gameplay.

Postby Doclan » Tue Aug 03, 2010 4:16 pm

Hello, first, let me introduce myself.
I'm Doclan, I joined the H&H community around 3 weeks or more ago, I believe. So any who I have been experiencing a really laggy game-play with around 4 fps (Frames Per Second) I think, I'm not sure because the game client doesn't tell you.
The mouse is always flashing like if the game wasn't selected, the game also flashes too, every 10 seconds or so, I found this game really interesting and complete so I'm really interested in playing it for a while and I wish you could help me to solve my problem, so the other issues are;

  • Flashing mouse (Fast flashing, not really a slow one like the others, like if the game wasn't selected)
  • Flashing sprites (Like candles, my spirit and such, and it flashes really slow, like, every 3 seconds)
  • Strange window flashing (If I change the settings to play in full-screen theres a strange sort of flash, a white background with some kind of shading, like a huge ball, the whole screen goes white with that shaded circle then it goes back to normality.)
  • Really slow movement and game-play overall. (If I click to move, my character moves 5 seconds later, same when interacting with an NPC)
Here is my computer information, my computer is sort of old, so I wouldn't be surprised if I couldn't fix this issue;
Code: Select all
OS: Microsoft Windows XP
 CPU:               Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz
 RAM: 607 MB
 GPU: S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR
 VRAM: 32 MB
 DRIVER: 6.14.10.0033-13.94.33

As you can see my graphics card is seriously sh*t, so I wish you could help me to fix this.

Sincerely,
~Doclan

Sorry about this double post, I just felt like it would be better showing the screen-shots in a completely new post.
So here are the pictures;

In this image as you can see I was pointing at somewhere in the game, that's where the mouse was at when I took the screen-shot but as you can see (Well, as you can't see :P), the mouse isn't there, because it was flashing and at the moment I took that screen-shot was when it was gone, after I took it it obviously came back, it just flashes really fast.

Image
In the other hand, I got this weird flash where the whole screen of the game goes white and shows this strange circle like shaded, it shows every 2 seconds I believe, it is really annoying to be honest, it only shows in full-screen though.

Really, thanks for the support if you find any solution to this, like lowering the quality or something like that, I wasn't running any other programs by the way, so nothing could possibly lag the game, and my java is completely updated.
