Equiping item that affects UMD causes character to lag for a couple seconds.

I've decided to do a brief video showing exactly how crippling this issue is.

Frame rate is on the Right side of the screen, above the "Teleport" Hotbar I have set up. Note how it doesn't dip below 30, unless I remove an item that specifically messes with UMD, Master's Touch, or both.

(Note: My Frame rate is normally ~60 FPS; for at least part of the video, FRAPS is trying to "cap" Frames at 30 FPS, because that is what I tell it to record at. The exact number you see doesn't matter, as much as the fact that the system all but locks up, and frame rate momentarily tanks at the same time.)

It'll be ready at 1920x1200 Resolution shortly; Youtube takes a few moments to process it.

Thats exactly the slow down I was trying to describe. Thanks a ton for posting a video showing the effect.

Ugh, watching that video is like nails on a chalkboard

If it was any other skill I would not care.

But it's freaking UMD, and I get a nice solid 2 seconds of frozen time when switching ANYTHING that effects UMD, which is a lot.

And it's been around quite a while.

Yes, the Bunny Hat UMD has been a killer for me in the past. Turns DDO in to stop motion animation for me within quests of higher than green DA

Nice vid. I cringed watching it. It shows what most of us experience better then words can describe. Man i wish they fixed this once and for all. It is a big bummer! Especially in high combat intensive scenarios

Exactly. That's just me feather falling down to Reaver's Refuge, with nothing else going on. It's practically a private instance, considering how few people are in there at once. The fact that we get worse in any sort of real game situation is horrible.

Thats exactly the slow down I was trying to describe. Thanks a ton for posting a video showing the effect.

No problem. I'm glad it came out so well for something I put together in like ten minutes.

Ugh, watching that video is like nails on a chalkboard

Exactly. This is either something that QA cannot reproduce, or does not reproduce because they've simply never tried. Either way, it's only gotten worse.

/bump and necro the thread.

This is a crippling issue for anyone with a UMD score. In addition, in case of the bunny hat, it's a also selling a nearly broken item in the store.
