Sound is laggy/stuttering

[Apillion]

I get the same.. i tested it by stopping all other things that use internet.

if nothing else is taking bandwidth the sound is fine as soon as i start a download or sometimes even just have a browser open sound begins to lag.

me too

It's the same issue with me, its gets even worse when I start moving. Hopefully there is a fix for this, I kind of like this music . Here are my specs
Core2Duo e8400 3ghz
4gb DDR3 Ram
Radeon 5570 1GB
Windows 7 64bit

Core2Duo e8400 3ghz

It seems hard to ascribe this problem to poor specs, in that case. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing there's some latency issue related to how quickly the system "allows" the client to fill the audio buffer. I would try increasing the buffer size, but on the other hand I've tried to keep is as small as possible to improve timing accuracy, and there's no dynamic setting for it yet. I guess I should try to fix dynamically setting the buffer size.

If my cpu is the problem, I can always upgrade to the Core 2 Quad cpus. Maybe the 2 extra cores will help because I do notice that my cpu usage is almost 100 percent active when playing the game. I guess we were so used to the first Haven and Hearth and how easy it was to run, that we just weren't expecting the new updated Haven to require much more power .

I'm pretty sure I just wrote that it shouldn't be the problem. ^^

Oh..... my bad sorry I misunderstood what you said loftar haha. I was also meaning to ask, what are the minimum requirements for the new Haven?

Who knows. :)

I mean, I don't exaclt yhave an enormous range of hardware to test on to begin with, and there's also the question of what performance levels are deemed "acceptable", and also under what circumstances (out in the forest, or on screens filled from end to end with fields and other complex structures).

I'll also try to optimize the client further, once the barrage of bug-fixing dies down just a little, at least.

Well if you want an idea of the needed specs, I will play for a while later and see the load on my hardware. I also have 2004 desktop and a budget laptop from 2009, I will run tests on all 3 of my computers.
