I played WAR in the beta weekend and for the first couple months after it released.

I liked it alot, but it lagged like crazy, especially in keep sieges.

I just came back to it, and I am experiencing almost no lag. I'll get a half second of lag when I go to a new zone... BUT-

I did a keep seige with a full warband and didn't lag.

I went to Altdorf and The Innevitable City and didn't lag.

I did the dungeon Gunbad with a full warband and didn't lag.

Also, I have a dual core 1.8 gig proccessor, 2 gigs of ram, and a 256meg video card.

When I logged in for the first time, the game told me it is adjusting my settings for my pc. I haven't touched the video settings since and I am running it great.

odd im runing 2 8800gtx 756 ddr3 cards in sli 2.4gig quad  procesor, 4 gig of ram didnt have lag before an now i do .had to turn up the texture cach  to make it semi playable or even turn around with out frams droping.

others have had this problem looks like its still here .love the game this isnt fixed by end of this month im done.hate to quite it but why pay for something you cnat play or enjoy?now you may be getn by with those stats i have read lower specs actualy do better than a rig with sli.but somethings wrong an i do not lag on other games like this.

hell i never laged on aoc like this.

Nope. I'm not lying.

If you are lagging, try turning your graphics down.

I'm running smoothly now, and I'm having fun.

My highest lvl toon is a 26 Magus. But I have multiple order and destro toons in tier 2.

If you don't believe me, then it sucks to be you. lol

Warhammer has never run poorly for me. ...

My spec: Intel E8400, 3 gig ram, geforce 9600, win vista.

One of the reason i quit is because the lag, stuttering even doing pve solo. Tried the trial 2 weeks ago, same problem.

And trust me when i say ive tried everything being suggested

One word.

Bullshit.

Nope, same for me.  Two warband t3 seiges full settings with forced extras on the card.  No lag.

As the saying goes "Your experience may vary."

ok but try doing a Fort raid/city raid then you lag like crazy i know for a fact ive done them T1/T2/T3 my not lag as bad but when you hit T4 and do massive battles you will lag i promise you this is one of the reasons i quit after playing beta/6months after release

 hehe, WAR is not lagging... good joke

Only why youre not laging is, youre not in T4, T1-T3 is not real WAR, its just training area for alts, without WAR, which is "everywhere".

Lag is almost a non issue now. The only time I see lag anymore is when we fight 6 warbands vs. 6 warbands ( thats 144 players vs. 144 players)

For PvP THIS IS THE ONLY AND BEST GAME OUT THERE RIGHT NOW.

As someone already stated, each person is going to experience lag to different degrees.

I haven't had that much of a problem with lag, and in my experience, the lag I did have has been mostly eliminated over the last few months.

Perhaps it's finally time to retire the Commodore 64....  :)

Only problem I have as far as lag and graphics is likely due to the fact that my graphics card is one of the ones that requires a direct feed from the power supply, but the power supply I have doesnt have a line for it. I experience lag here and there, but for the most part it runs pretty smoothly. Only times I have realy bad lag is when there are way too many people in one area, or if there are alot of spell effects going off at once.

Warhammer sure came a long way since release, the regular patches make a whole lot of difference.  Mythic fixed more in the first six months then most mmorpg developers fix in a year.

I for one have no issues with it all all.  I do keeps, forts and main city defence and main city wb's.  Anyone with a reasonable system will be able to play this game without any problems.  Sue it might slow down for you if you get into battles with over 100 people on each side, but what game won't.

You are running the graphcis card without power to the gpu fan ???

No no, the fan runs fine. But the graphics card is made to pull most of it's power directly from the power supply rather than through the motherboard. Without that cable hooked up to the power supply, it still runs, but just backs down to lower settings than it could be running at so that it draws less power. So far WAR has been the only game where it seems to make a diffirence (I think). Spore, Dawn of War 2, Oblivion, all run fine as is.

You live in cloud cuckoo land.  This game promotes zerg warfare, where mindless and skilless players can congregate.  If this is what you want, fair play.  Personally, I like a game with thought and strategy - Warhammer has neither.

No the OP is right...they've done some serious game optimizing since i played last fall. I can run the game smooth as butter now.

HOWEVER.

The game is still to boring for words to describe. I dont plan on resubbing.

 Are you a real poster or somebody working for Mythic's marketing department??

1) Once you get to T4, you're going to need to run full effects if you want to see Rain of Fire or Pit of Shades.

2) The last live update that included the twisting tower scenario was a HUGE lagfest & each side was fielding less than a warband.

3) There is no small group PVP, go to their boards, it's a common complaint.  WAR is a game about zerging.  More than two warbands & game lags horribly.
