Keseka wanders into the room searching for a certain item, but notices Mahina's post sitting idle. While he still wishes to search for said item, he decides to take the time to reply as he is intrigued as to the location of the message left and the contents of the message itself.

Writing quickly so as not to be spotted, Keseka leaves the following message and vanishes into the blackness of the night horizon:
"As well as the Internet connection itself, one should be wary of programs that eat vast quantities of ram and bandwidth. While the Internet connection itself is often working, viruses, spyware and resource hogs can often reduce your connection or your entire PC to a crawl in a normally speedy environment. At times, even having a badly fragmented hard disk can cause programs to slow!

As a suggestion, you may want to run an anti-virus program (such as AVG) and a spyware scanner (such as Spybot-S&D). Following that, you might also wish to clear some hard disk space if you're low (below 15% of your total hard disk space remaining) then defragment the hard drive using the tool Microsoft provided with windows or a third party tool.

An alternate suggestion would be to try closing all major resource eating programs such as Internet browsers, gaming applications and downloading clients during your Quest experience.

If neither of these work, it might just be that your Internet has temporarily been slowed down due to it's usual connection route being blocked. If this is the case, there is little to do besides hope that your connection speed improves."

the battle bar slows things down considerably... especially for older computers...

try putting the client.exe process priority setting to high

then use movequest to make the quest screen sort of half off the screen so the mob HP and the first hit bar thing are off the screen. Since they are off screen they dont need to render, and thats one less thing that the computer needs to draw...

this decreased my lvl time from about 8 mins to 5 mins... removing excess processes and setting the priority for quest to high reduced it again to like, 4 mins...

Also if theres large quantities of chat try relogging, as the chat stored in the client (or temp files or however its stored) can increase the memory used.

I even considered running the computer in safe mode so minimal drivers would be loaded, maybe later i will try it...

Tried it. Didnt work. Didnt load the drivers for the graphic card, so it ran slower, lol.

the bars circled in green are the "battle bars"

they cycle pretty much once every attack, which slows things down.... Might not make a difference if you take 3 hits to kill a mob, but when it takes 20-30 hits... it can make a big difference... Especially on slower computers.

If there were an F2 option to remove the battle bars, that would be awesome... the only thing they really do is show sort of how close you are to two first hits. whoop de doo.

an option to remove them would be nice.

*merged this in with this thread because it looked like it could go together and remove a lot of "this thread was moved" junk*



Dlorak replied as follows:
the bars fill at the speed of friggin light. its an O(1) algorthim running in there. If it slows down your computer you must have battle delay on, non?

can you watch the CPU usage on the machine and see if it maxes out as it fills?

like i said on mobs you hit like 3 times you wont really notice anything, but when your hitting the same mob 20 times in a row (or healtraining) you can notice a big difference... and watch your processor speed spike. Mine goes from .2% to like 98%...

Its not just me saying this, theres been this suggestion before, it would make sense to me to at least have the option to disable these bars, shouldnt take too long
