they're talking about server latency not lag. though often used interchangably there is a difference. lag is when everything sort of seizes up for a moment, server latency is when something is there but hasn't loaded from server to client yet...and thats always potentially deadly!

When I read the title I assumed you died of a thorn in the foot.

It's not the server. It's something in the client. It could be graphics drivers not implementing OpenGL properly, it could be something hanging on resource requests.

I've got 10 people in my area all the time, and haven't noticed hardly any lag compared to W5. Still that odd hesitation every now and again, but much improved over, say, last week.

You walked thru a swamp and was full of leaches, and died from blood loss?
You lost your shoes without noticing and got a thorne in your foot?
You forgot to eat and starved to death?
Lagg?
Server latency?
Client crash?

I didn't have any leech or thorn. I was full HP, and just eated for gain percept. Just was walking, client shut down, and when i started it again, there was no character.


PD: Any way to see why u died?
