GW Characters skip around

[silencingpsyco]

No, this is not due to bad graphics card or a sub-par CPU.

For some reason all characters when they start walking/moving they skip ahead to that location as soon as they begin moving/clicking. Timer is also off by up to a minute sometimes and my mana bar shows "not enough energy" when i supposedly have 26 mana for a 5 mana skill.

My roommates are playing right next to me and theirs works fine, I have tried disabling everything (including Anti-virus/firewall/superfluous stuff) and no luck. It only happens sometimes however, and mostly after a graphics driver update.

No spyware/virii/worms/trojans/etc. Any hints/questions or do you want a full system log?

It's prolly high latency, aka the lag monster.

Sounds like lag to me, see if it persists while your roommates are not playing. (I assume that you are all playing over the same connection)

I also ran -perf a few times and noticed no drops in connection speed, it's just strange that it only happens after a driver update and sometimes just randomly for the entire duration I have the GW client open or until I reboot.

How many ppl are using your connection, I know I can't do more then 2 at any one time without it lagging me to hell. :embarassed:
