[Solved]Game Freezing, Please Help

[sartorius19]

Uhmm Hello there guys, Im having a problem,

though i dont know what really is the source of this.

The problem is that whenever i start attacking a MVP mob or any mob and player, the whole screen of the game client becomes laggy and then results in a sudden freeze/pause state. so then i have to relog and relog every minute i log in back to kill it.

But when i tried to do an observation on this, the game doesnt stops at all, cause when i see the hp of the mvp, when i logged in back in a rush , it has gone down. But my Screen appears to be hanged up or like in a pause mode.

P.S. I always start the game through the patcher.

Please help, my connection is fine, since i tried other MMORPG, and they were all fine.

Try typing /effect and see if that results in any less lag.

Done that too. sorry i forgot to state that. It doesnt make any change.

Its really hard for me to play cause how can iquest if i cant hit a mob.

If /effect doesn't help you, I'm sorry if this would sound harsh but are you running RO on an ancient computer or something?

If not, maybe update your video card, or you might be running too much programs that causes your RO to experience lag.

Or, set Forsake RO's priority to high, or try to mess up with your Ragnarok Setup like this

It's probably not his computer being ancient but it might be his GPU/DirectX or drivers screwing up somehow, or in fact might not be using his main GPU at all. RO is quite a lightweight game considering it's this old so I'll rule out the insufficient specs for now. I'd recommend changing the option sephwin changed in the above post as well. This will tell the game which GPU/drivers to use for the game.

I still find this a weird problem though, and one I've never seen before. Specially cause it's at every mob and player. I'm aware of the hallucination effect some monsters can give which causes the client to lag because the RO client itself can't handle it. But other than the hallucination effect, Ragnarok Online can run alright on a pentium II so it's weird that you're lagging during any battle on your current computer. I'm assuming you got a higher version than DirectX 8.1 as well. Which is the minimum requirement for RO.

Any update on the matter?

Im having the same issue and dont know how to fix it.

[Bishop]

Try running the game through FkenRO.exe and run the FkenRO.exe in compatibility mode (Windows XP).

Been a week since the last response. Assuming that solved it.

Solved.
