    Cool Game unplayable - Lag outs

    Hi all

    First of all i'd like to say i'm new to this server, after playing around a few mir3 private servers and browsing many mir2 servers - this one caught my eye.

    I'd like to say a big 'hey-up' to everyone here and i look forward to becoming part of the community.
    ------------------------------------------------------

    Although.. i'm having a big problem with playing the game.

    I've managed to get my chracter to about level 11 in bichon wall - though every time i load the game, i lag out and my pc freezes.

    I've noticed there are several posts on this problem but i've not found any real solution.

    First of all.. my pc is not the problem, i can run mir2/mir3 without any lag or any latency.

    I have downloaded the most recent version of mir2 from the official website and then installed the MirRevenge Auto patch utility and ran it several times until it stops trying to re-install files its allready patched.

    It seems to happen everytime i attack or walk near a mob - in my case, it's been scarecrows .

    I have tried a few things to stop this happening before i came running to the forums but with no results.
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    This is quite annoying. But im not here to whine about the problem, im just looking for a solution, or any suggestions of people who have suffered the same problem and have found a way around it.
    ------------------------------------------------------------

    I've seen people reply saying something like "don't worry, it happens to everyone" - but if this happens to everyone then how does anybody actually play the game?
    There is no way the game can be deemed as playable in this state as i can't stay online for more than 2 minuites, sometimes 2 seconds.

    Until i recieve any suggestions of a solution i will continue to try resolve this problem myself (any solutions i may find, i will post).
    But all help is greatly appreciated, not just by me but everyone else who is suffering this problem aswell i assume.

    Thanks guys - Hopefully i/we will have this problem sorted asap and i'll see you all ingame

    Thanks for the quick reply mate.

    i read about someone having a simlar prob with a new character they started - maybe this is a problem with armour/weapon or maybe even mob files that you only encounter at low levels.

    base dress? (armour files?)
    wooden sword? (weapon files?)
    scarecrows (mob files?)

    i'll continue to try different solutions but until (if) i come across anything more suggestions and solutions appreciated.

    thanks in advance.

    EDIT: Just thought i'd point out that i have followed the installation rules properly, and ran the autopatcher several times until only the 2 remaining files cannot be downloaded (char/log files).

    I've also tried uninstalling everything. And reinstalling from scratch - same problem still arises.

    Default i've just noticed...

    That when i ran the game from the "mir2.exe" i minimized to find that 2 copys of the "diamond2" are running. I check task manager and one was clocking in at around 30,000 mem usage and the other at around 12000.

    I have ended the process of the application using 12,000.

    Let's see if anything happens...


    EDIT: nope!! that wasnt the problem anyway. This was happening i think because i had both mir.exe and mir2.exe in my LoM folder. Deleted mir.exe and ran the game, worked as normal.

    Lagged out as soon as i tried to attack a scarecrow.

    Thanks strobe. Although i don't think this relates to the problem i am having, it is a suggestion - which is what i asked for -

    therefore i shall go ahead with what you suggested and let you know the result.


    EDIT: Before proceeding with the above suggestion from 'strobe' i have just managed to log into the game, only this time kill a hooking cat, a deer and 2 scarecrows!! - then lagged out on the 3rd. lol

    come on peeps we can sort this irritating problem.

    i'm about to try that.


    i've just tried without the basedress and just the wooden sword,

    managed to kill 4 hens, lagged out on the 5th.
    I will now try with just basedress and no sword.

    if same problem occurs i'll try it in the buff -

    Edit/Update: Ok i just tried fighting scarecrows with no basedress/ebonysword and there didnt seem to be a problem (i managed to kill 5 or 6 lag free anyway) - but soon as my character and a scarecrow overlapped (stepped into samesquare at same time) the game froze instantly.

    Has anybody experienced this problem with other mobs that DON'T spawn in BichonWall?

    Default Right okay...

    Well as i said i've tried fighting in the buff with no weapon equipped and i had no problems when in combat until my char and a scarecrow overlapped on the same square.
    ---------------------------------------

    Well i managed to be careful (by making sure i didnt overlap) and get my chracter to level 15 without any lag outs.
    My char is now wearing Light Armor and is equipped with a dagger.

    I've managed to kill several mobs and still no lag outs.
    ---------------------------------------

    I'm going to try and deliberately overlap with a mob and see if the problem still occurs (i'll try a different mob first, if there is no problem, ill try overlap a scarecrow and see if it freezes then.)

    Anyway - for now i think all you have to do is take is easy for the first 11 levels. Don't wear a base dress or use a wooden stick if possible. This makes the game playable temporarly at least even if you have to be careful.

    EDIT: okay! right.. i've overlapped several different mobs in BW and not experienced any lag outs whatso-ever whilst wearing lightarmor.

    This has to be a graphical problem.

    Lagout happens when either:

    A) Engaging combat whilst wearing BaseDress
    B) Engaging combat whilst equipped with either woodenstick/ebonysword (both use same animation)
    C) Overlap with a mob whilst not wearing any armor (naked!)


    -----------------------------
    So my only solution for now is to avoid wearing your base dress or equipping a wooden sword. Or anything else that uses the same sprites.

    Goodluck low-level wizard is all i have to say.

    Maybe the best way to solve this problem for now without having to change alot would be to let everyone start at level 11?
    Or make Lightarmor available to wear from the beginning instead of basedress.

    Thanks for everyone on this thread and in-game who have contributed to helping me solve this problem.

    All your suggestions are taken into consideration and are greatly appreciated

    EDIT: Maybe i spoke too soon - i just found an "Ebony Tree" had no problems attacking it and killing it. But soon as i tried to collect the "ebony fruit" it had dropped - froze and lagged out.

    Looking for a solution.. will update
