lag spike with "summon skeletons"

Sorry to be of no use here - but I was getting some pretty bad lag spikes with my templar whenever he would cast summon skeleton. My client never crashed, but I was eventually dropped by the server mid-fight and got sent to default league :X

I admit it's not much of a description to go on, but my internet connection was stable. My game just froze up, though it successfully threw me onto the title screen without crashing up. I built my computer this January, so I'm pretty sure it's not hardware related.

i5, 8gb ram, GeForce GTX 560 Ti

Sorry not to have any crash log/significant details to add beyond this. And yes, I'm positive summon skeletons was the issue. It crashed just as I input the command to summon them and I'd been getting some lag spikes earlier with it. Gameplay is otherwise smooth.

I have had a similar issue as this.

When my templar (Kallham) casts Summon Skeleton for the first time in a new area the game freezes for a few seconds then continues on.

I think the issue is that the summoned skeleton mob is being loaded mid game instead of at the loading screen.

I would suggest loading in the skeletons (and other summons) at level loading screen

I also have this problem. I always try to remember to summon skeletons as soon as new area is loaded so I don't die because of this.

This is caused by the client not pre-caching certain files upon map load (probably audio files, but I can't be sure).

I've made a quick fix, which you can find here:

Hope that helps! :D
