why the lag?

[zese]

this game haves massive amounts of lag? why?!?!?!?

[Peter]

Because you're torrenting porn. That uses up tons of bandwidth.

It depends on what kind of lag you speak of; if you speak of the sudden hangs followed by rubberbanding, they are mostly because of a couple of yet unsolved bugs that block the server execution every now and then. I'm working on it, though.

iam not torrenting pr0nz rtard!1one1!

and iam speaking lag like low frams, when i click some part of the map it will take 15 seconds to character to understand to go there and then it will move all choppy.

[zese]

Well i was just thinking it might not be client sided problem because the game takes 200 000kb of vm from other programs...

No, that's actually normal; Java does that, but you don't really need to worry about it, because it really is 200 MBs of virtual memory, not necessarily physical. The pages involved are zero-allocated on demand, and the Java VM actually does a pretty good job at compressing the heap, so that unused pages can be reclaimed by swapping.

On the other hand, are you perhaps using Windows 7 with the built-in graphics drivers? They generally suck (since Microsoft doesn't implement OpenGL well). If you do, upgrade to the video card vendor's own drivers.
