Time Playing until you crash...

Ahoy! How long can you play until the lag gets so bad you either crash or close the window? For me it's about 30-45 minutes.

Hmm...If I get on in the morning it takes at least 20 minutes for it to crash. When I get on any other time though, within the first 10 minutes something happens. -.-

I play late at night/early in the morning. I don't crash due to lag.

Usually, I get a little lag when I first enter the game...all those textures loading up.

Then the only lag I get are pauses when I cross into other lighting zones (early morning, noon, afternoon, early evening, night time lighting) or if I am approaching a town and the textures need loading.

If I play longer than 1 hour, I will always crash to the Microsoft Error Dialog and bug/feedback report page. This is when I logout and quit. Boom...every time. It is probably the memory leak that tends to load up my page swap file. I wonder if I used my USB Flash drive as my virtual cache would it improve things? Hmmm....

Toodles,

Time in game

It varies for me, sometimes it will crash within a few minutes, sometimes i can play for a couple of hours. I play mostly at night in the Eastern time zone. It really depends on where I'm at in the game. Near towns is the worst for me or any area that starts to get a lot of players around.

What are your PC specs? And are you getting internet lag or PC lag when you crash? I've never had a problem with crashing due to lag.

Play time

I am west coast time, and play at all hours of the day. The worst lag is around 4 in the afternoon. I think that is because everyone in the country is getting home from work, and rushing to play the game!

I stay on until my lag is too long, and then I shut down the program through Task Manager. Sometimes, that happens in just a few minutes. Sometimes, I can play for a couple of hours.
