Lag fixes?

Hello everybody, I'm having trouble playing rogue all of the sudden because i attack so fast which generates insane lag. I am unable to DPS anything with more than 1m HP(less than 1 rotation). My RoM window will turn black and i normally end up dead after it turns back to normal. This also happens to my scout and champion/rogue or any other class that can attack fast. I don't want to have to re-roll, could somebody please tell me a way to fix this? Getting a new computer is not an option, I'm running RoM at the lowest graphics possible at 25 FPS tops and I'm hiding the effects of other players. I can PvP just fine and can do single hits, its just my white attacks which i need for my burn(Energy Theif). Please help. Thanks again.

I had a similar problem around 2 years ago it turned out my new laptop had a faulty video card.
Does this happen outside of game or just with the runes of magic client?

A friend of mine had a similar problem and we worked out that she was running the "slim client". downloading and installing the full client solved the problem for her.

sincec793:

There are lag issues, then there are lag issues. Some are related to your network connection and/or upload/download speeds. Others are related to your hardware. Let's take them in order...

Network: If you're using a wireless connection from your router/residential gateway, try using a wired (Cat-5 ethernet) connection, if possible. A wired connection will almost always be faster and more efficient than a wireless connection is. It might involve stringing/running the wired connection some distance between your router/residential gateway and your computer, and it might require physically moving the computer or the router/gateway closer together.

Hardware: I don't know what your hardware consists of, and performing and posting a dxdiag would be very helpful. If you're not sure how to do this, please PM me and I'll give you a quick tutorial.

However, most reasonably modern computers have a fast enough CPU and sufficient system RAM to run Runes of Magic without incurring local program lag. What usually holds them back is the video subsection. If you're using a notebook computer, there's nothing short of replacing it with a newer and more capable machine that can "fix" it. But if you're using a desktop machine, it's possible to install or upgrade the dedicated video card in it with a more capable unit. Again, having a dxdiag to inspect will be very helpful.
