Since the other thread was locked, the server is down again and i know the chief reason why.
If you experience lag, please do not keep logging in and out repeatadly, it doesnt really help at all, and when MANY people do it at once, we crash like we just did.

That OR... the server can not handle how great I am. I like my theory better. |

For cereal.
I know other than the false notion that relogging will reduce lag one of the other main reasons people will relog is to replenish their spells/day. (At least in NWN1 this is true.)
For the record, I believe there is a module based setting that can be set to disallow replenishing spells at login - this should stem the impatient caster relog issue pretty quick.

I used to get lag in areas where there were a lot of shadows. I lowered my levels to medium and the lag was gone. I never have a problem on my system alone, but changing the settings while on the server seemed to help. What! The server is down +>(%!" cookies!

Hmm, Ive logged a few times quite recently because NWN2 seems to crash on me ALOT more since the new patch. Almost at every transition there is about a 35% chance NWN2 will stop responding!

Thats bad. im also chrashing from time too time.. but not really that often
maby once per /a coupple of hours.
Still maby its becuse of hardware or driver issues. that perhaps the loonger the load the higher the risk for a crash. if so maby your graphics culd be turned down a notch and maby it will load faster too prevent constant crashing.
Im using a high end sytem thoug so i cannot be sure about anything in that case.

Restarting your computer helps a lot too, especially if you haven't done it in a while. Dumps a lot of junk memory and gives you a fresh start.

DO NOT use WASD Keys, this creates packet flooding DO NOT run any computer scanning, messanging, or file sharing programs while logged on, this crushes your computers resources and drags on the server Those two things alone people do a lot and then wonder why things are so laggy or crash.. so kep them in mind  -Ice |

I think this is not so clear for all. |

yeah if someone wants to post this (admin or JLF) to the rules part... that would be good.
otherwise we are left with the few people who check the boards.

Messaging programs and the like to do not lag the server(client/server architecture), this is a common misconception. Probably carried over from Battle net play(peer to peer architecture) where it did matter.
There are many causes of what people perceive to be lag. Here are the ones that concern us.
1.Packet flooding by the server. This one should not be an issue because we have a 100mbit connection. Even if you use the WASD keys it isn't going to affect us.
2.The quality of the connection between client and server. This server is based in Sweden. So if you are located halfway around the world from it, you will have some lag.
3.CPU spikes on the server. This can be caused by an underpowered server, misbehaving scripts or a DM getting a bit carried away with spawning stuff in.
I say 2 and 3 are the most likely culprits in our case.
Crashes. Most of the crashes lie solely at Obsidian's feet. It doesn't take long to figure out that NWN2 is a poorly coded game. I have never seen a game crash this much for so many people.
There are quite a few threads on the NWN2 forums about crashing problems.
Thanks,
