Runes of Magic US / AU

Last night I was sieging and me and my guildees started immediately experiencing problems right off the bat (more than 3 of us).

Whenever we'd get in range of more than one enemy on the screen the game would start to "freeze" over, I'd drop from 35-40 FPS to around 5 for no particular reason other than the enemy being there.

I run a machine that has no problem running most modern games much less RoM so I found it very odd especially since I've never ran into a problem like this before except on crappy computers when I had to travel.

Quoted from "ruisen2000;582951"

I've had screen freeze on me too with FPS dropping to 1, but a relog usually solves the problem for me.

Generally speaking I restart my client like 10 minutes before siege most of the time, I don't feel like I should have any sort of lag advantage and encourage guildees to do the same. It was just particularly weird that it hit a number of us in our guild though.

As far as the load problem, I run RoM off an SSD there isn't much load strain that I have to deal with, hell I make siege videos and multiclient when the lag started happening to me I went down to one client and I was still facing the same issues. I also close all my chrome/firefox tabs and every other application but my music, I haven't even been running with Bandicam lately (I just got it set back up).

I'm just hoping this is a one-off siege bug, I'll report back to this topic tonight after I siege and I'll turn on my bandi if it starts happening again.

I think it's something wrong with my video card in particular, I just got a new one, it's configured right and everything but I don't know.... I'm having no problems at all inside of instances...
