" spiralofhope wrote: ATI Radeon HD 4200 There is some stuttering when new mobs are first seen, but it's not bad at all. I suspect there is a leak over time, because the stuttering got worse as I played on. Perhaps it's the landscape or weather of the higher-level stuff. Pretty sure the stuttering happens when loading spell effect assets that are not cached in RAM. There is a fix that supposedly works for Nvidia (disabling GLSL), but not for ATI, unfortunately.

Disabling GLSL is bad mojo for me. I'm now using cpufreq to set my CPU(s) to performance, and so far it seems good.	Posted by spiralofhope#6806 on Feb 8, 2013, 8:31:00 PM Quote this Post

Its not a problem of WINE, Linux uses techniques like Cool n' Quite ootb, the tool cpufreq gives you the ability to set it to full throttle.	Posted by Grundgesetz#3695 on Feb 8, 2013, 9:40:08 PM Quote this Post

With further testing, no this does not help with the stuttering. =( I do know that setting the governor to performance is critical for getting World of Warcraft running smoothly. It doesn't seem to matter for this game. It's not hard drive speed either, as it's running on an SSD. I'll have to do some more investigating..

I quit, I can't play with these jitters. I definitely need to do more research before I can try again.	Posted by spiralofhope#6806 on Feb 9, 2013, 10:33:26 AM Quote this Post
Please add "low" option in texture quality. 5fps is unplayable! ;(	Posted by ncrn#2090 on Feb 9, 2013, 1:26:00 PM Quote this Post

I can sympathize, the extra bit of "jitters" that we Linux users get over our Windows counterparts certainly causes some extra deaths in game. Pretty quick SSD here as well. It's likely either graphics driver related or the assets are just not being pre-loaded correctly in the game and it's just a bit more pronounced under Wine, which is an issue only GGG can fix. Hopefully when they fix it for Windows users it will benefit us just enough to make things a bit more tolerable. Either that or I'll have to break down and buy an Nvidia card so I can disable GLSL.

A partial solution to the jitters. Press enter to open the chat dialog. Leave trade and public chat. I noticed that mass item-linking in trade chat was a source of lag. Some bosses still have their extra "lagblaster" power.	Posted by spiralofhope#6806 on Feb 10, 2013, 5:53:35 AM Quote this Post
