Unless it was fixed, a second time, the WASD movement causes a ton of lag itself.  From what I can remember, the way it works is that it's constantly trying to find new paths as long as you have the button held down.  Instead of just finding the path and moving along it, as per the mouse movement.  Obsidian did a fix for it when they were still paying attention to the game, but it didn't even really help all that much.  In general, keyboard movement should be avoided as much as possible, aside from minor adjustments, in NWN2.  Even though it worked perfectly fine in NWN1.

Yeah WASD for me doesnt work very good either, even on the older system. I had too get used too clicked movement, WASD caused alot of "rubberbanding"


From the sort of lag were getting, to me it feels like the server keeps overflowing its memory banks, and has too flush them. Not sure if it might be a hardware issue. Perhaps min/max buffer settings? Dunno.. just talking about some experience i had with a rig :)

Huh. Strange. I've been using WASD since nwn1. Never found an issue with it.

I've noticed some definitive rubberbanding when using WASD, which is my default when it comes to controlling movement.

I take back what i said, if it was a memory dump then the server would have "freezes" .
But it seems after the lag resolves, the game catches up. aka super fast combat. Seems to be connection related.

Its still strange how smooth the server runs, after jsut sitting thru huge lag spikes. Something is being cleared / dumped when the server goes ham

It's really weird. 20-25 minutes of completely fine... then 20 second lag for 2 minutes... then about 20 minutes of lag that literally can take 5 minutes just to get a message.

I sure hope a fix is coming soon, or some of the players might decide to migrate elsewhere.

Played tonight (GMT) after the latest hotfix and everything was very smooth.

Same for me, ran smoothly for me testerday.

As for people migrating, that would be a downright shame. The techies are looking into it the best they can. This can happen with a new servermachine. It'll sort out :) just need some patience...

It also seems to only happen around certain times of the day. Usually when I start playing, it's quite bad but by the time I log off it's quite smooth. Around 21:00GMT it got pretty bad for an hour or two, not constantly mind you but there would be 2-3 minutes when the lag would kick in and nothing would happen. Once it passed everyone's text came flooding in and went back to normal. This happened maybe every twenty minutes or so? Yet the last few hours it's been absolutely fine. I've found this to be the case for the last few days, some sorts of times.

Hope that helps in some way. I know everyone is working hard to see it resolved.

Agreed that it would be a shame. This is a good server, and I hope people are patient too.
