Is my computer causing lag?

[DME543]

I know my memory is good but how about my video card and other specs on my computer?

I seem to get stuck and have intermittent lag...

What kind of lag?


Lag, can be from many things,

Computer, Not enough memory
Router
Modem
ISP
The Internet- the path your connection goes to DDO
Server

If you have jsust started seeing alot of lag after the server merge you are not alone. I think everybody is getting stuck in place(cant move), stuck on loading screens for extended peroid of time, and so on.

Your machine looks ok, cant really tell from what you have provided, knowing what you are experiencing might help.

I get about the same amount of lag since the servers merged (Khyber).
My lag issues are hitched movement, getting stuck in place but being able to turn, getting stuck in loading screens, ect. I have hight speed internet (cable).


How do you insert a box that is open in the post that you can scroll? That way I can post my complete dxdiag. An example is in the video/corruption post in technical assistance, the open box I am talking about is 10 posts down by brodie.

Your drivers are definitely out of date which could cause issues if you are having "graphical lag" and not network lag, I would try that as well.

Put [ C O D E ] before the text you wish to enclose and [ / C O D E ] after it, without the extra spaces. I just put those in so it wouldn't do this:
