the lag is UNREAL
44 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 27th 2015 at 6:40 AM Last Edited November 27th 2015 at 8:32 AM Kenshin After the 0.40 patch, the game is so laggy...i thought it was just me, but almost everyone in Kong chat room 1 keeps saying they can't play and have to refresh every now and then. I tried taking out turkey and momma. I noticed that the game started slowing down A LOT after I put them both back in..must be something with their abilities. I think it's the fact that every time a new buff is received, all buffs "reapply" and they get refreshed. So, every 10 seconds that Turkey buffs a crusader, all the buffs have to rework again, making it laggy. Not to mention that Momma Kaine heals a crusader AND slows down an enemy, both of which add extra buff/debuff visuals. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, look at the game when you have turkey out. Every 10 seconds he zaps someone, and ALL buffs on ALL crusaders "refresh". I guess the fact that every 10 seconds ALL the buffs re-apply, in addition to the visual effects, cause the game to re-calculate DPS, which means even more visual effects (the DPS numbers changing). All these stress the plugin to the extend where it can't handle the memory leakage anymore and thus the lag.. I hope there can be something done cause right now I literally can't play the game with them on the field and there are quite a few people frustrated that they can't use the new crusaders.

44 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 28th 2015 at 4:59 PM Kenshin Hi Erika, thanks for the quick reply and fix! I'll give it a try when I'm back at home on Monday. I hope it's all good now :) @Raymond, what do you mean? :P
5565 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 28th 2015 at 5:06 PM Raymond I mean I have not had any lag of any kind in this game since the beginning over 120 days ago and as you may know, or everyone knows, I am pretty much logged into this game 24/7. So when people mention lag in chat I have to alwayd say, there isn't any, and when it escalates to a post in the forums I have to figure that people are imagining any lag.

Dunno, could be for that platform only, maybe things in Facebook run smoother. But yeah, the memory leak was out of hand for the first day, I'll have to play to see how things are now, but that won't happen before Monday Edit: I too have been playing for 114 days and never had any (big) lag issues, that's why I was so surprised. Edit 2: I happened to reschedule some stuff and was able to play a bit (up to level 100). It works like a charm now, no lag whatsoever! Thanks Erika and whoever worked on the fix!
