Nick,

There's gotta be a way to get you in the game. It really /bugs me when a person(s) can't seem to get anything to work. Like a puzzle that eludes solving...damn the cannon balls, we are sailing through! -)

Perhaps you have setup your Operating System in a way that interfers with the client/server handshake? I know that when I installed .NET 3.0, I had to troubleshoot some other applications that had issues with it. Same when I upgraded my WinXP to SP2...new problems arose.

One thing that really helped was installing and extra 1 meg of DDR2 400FSB memory. That alone cleared up 5 issues.

What can I or we, short of buying you a new computer and a T3 line, do to get you in the game?

Batleth, try logging out and quitting the game. Then log back in. I found that there is a serious memory leak that accumlates the longer you play per session. If you logout & quit, then relog in..it clears out the pagefile memory and is less laggy for a while. Sometimes the virtual memory gets so bogged down...that when I normally logout and quit the game, it drops me to the Microsoft Error dialog. I try to relog every hour or so.

But you are right, the game as a is still very laggy. I encounter a lot of lag when crossing lighting boundries. Going from dusk to light or dark...going from dark deep seas to light coastal seas....going from non-detailed long distance island views to detailed foliage and/or nearby town structures. Many of those are dependent on the power of your graphic card and how fast it can render textures without your computer's cpu taking a huge hit....Broadsides Port! -(
