Framerate advice?

September 18, 2015 - 1:03am — kiitos
Hello.
In offline mode, my game runs around 10-12FPS which is decent. When my game connects, it drops to 3-4FPS, no matter how low the settings are.
Is there any way to improve this? It makes it almost impossible to move about and enjoy playing!

Someone suggested a game

Someone suggested a game optimizer here. It didn't work for me, but I had a reasonable framerate to start with so it might do better for you.
Other than that, doing anything to maximize the amount of bandwidth you can allot to the game might help - meaning close other programs, streaming music, etc.

An accelerator could be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing, could end up burning your CPU or GPU if it does not have enough cooling. But it could help in certain situations. I can multitask like crazy and I don't see much of a difference at all! xD I mostly get around the mid to high twenties when connected. Performance depends on your computer, internet connection, and current settings. The client and or server for the game is one of the culprits of the usual lag, if phase four comes out hopefully they could fix it once and for all. For now try your best, and good luck when The Rut and Halloween comes, you will lag like crazy!

I use that accelerator on my fairly old laptop that's never been very great at cooling, and I've thoroughly tested it, it's pretty safe ;P It just minimizes the effect of unnecessary background stuff that is running, it does not overclock your computer or change any settings, that's why I chose it XD

I downloaded the software and to my delight now get 18-20FPS offline.
However online it still cannot exceed 5FPs. Shucks.

Thankyou so much for the suggestions though. I did once connect my laptop directly to the router and it made no difference to my game. Maybe my laptop just can't handle being online.
