[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

Topic: Decal is lagging and locking up

	Happens with or without plugins, but worse with plugins especially when the plugin window is open. Ill be hunting, buffing, or just standing around, things will get a little choppy, then ill look at my packet loss and ping, packet loss jumps from 0 to anywhere up to 50%, then my ping jumps from almost 0 to over 6000. Occasionally it will calm down but lately it will fully lock up causing me to have to restart or kill AC through the task manager. With no decal on this doesnt help. I use LifeTankXI, AC+, Radar Addon, Combater2. Ive tried it with only LT, only Combater, only AC+, no combination works. Is there a fix im missing? -----signature----- (none)

	what are the specs on your PC? Decal and some plugins especially Lifetank are resources hogs. Everyone see a drop in frame rate and lag. This is just the way it is. If your PC is powerful it is no big deal. Some people just not going to be able to play. effectively. The other thing to look into is what else your PC doing? Are you running things like AIM? Do you have adaware. Have cleaned up PC disk drive. defraged it? Removed little annoying tasks from your machine like adobe quick launch. -----signature----- (none)

	My specs are Intel T2300 1.66GHz Dual Core intel 1gb RAM ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 60gb hdd. I run adaware and a virus scanner daily, when Im playing AC its only AC, Decal, Trillian, AVG, explorer, svchost, running. Before I stopped playing AC I never had these problems. Happens even when I run with no plugins so they arent to blame. -----signature----- (none)

	My set up: Intel 2.8 Dual Core 2.0 Ram 256 ATI Radion 1600 That's barely enough to keep AC and Decal running with only one plug-in. Both AC and Decal have become resource hogs lately. And some plug-ins are just as bad. That's especially true if your connection slows down at times like mine does. When that happens, I get the same problem you describe. -----signature-----

	Seems to have fixed itself. Only when I have the plugin window open (to change options and stuff) do I get a framerate loss now. -----signature----- (none)
