I have been having a few extremely annoying problems with neverwinter that I do not have with any other game.
1. Skill lag: This almost makes the game unplayable for me, especially in PvP I use a skill and 5 seconds later it will do it and people will be in different places. same in PVE.
2. Stuttering/freezing? Not sure exactly what to call this but ever 8 seconds or so My pet/npcs/ and other players just randomly freeze for a few seconds and then continue...this makes the game annoying to play as well because feels like I am watching a slideshow.
The skill Lag is new for me the past month but the freezing part has been since the beginning...any tips how to fix this is greatly appreciated even though I feel like the only way to fix this is through NW servers since I have seen other people with same problems.
It is not on my end that's all I know...Every other game runs on max smoothly no lag whatsoever.
I experienced the same problem. However, reinstalling NW (an arc - less version)
And updating my direct x (i think it was more of a downgrade), to the version which
was included in the champions online (steam version, not arc) install.
[the polish version of the NW website still offers the arc-less installer]
This exact thing was happening to me in epic sp yesterday. I would hit shift she would freeze and not dodge or I would use a skill it'll delay 3 secs then activate "if I didn't get cc'd". Needless to say this lead to many kits being wasted.:(

t do you mean about the direct x part?
And i have 0 stuttering/ lag, again.
Guess I can try this, what do you mean about the direct x part? Not sure how to downgrade that
You'll have to google, "How to remove direct x". Microsoft makes it a fracking pain. I had to do it after I updated on accident for a diff game.
If you're lucky and you installed the new version recently and haven't done any major other changes; you can just restore your computer to prior to install.

Are you referring to Windows System Restore? I'd strongly recommend against ever using that feature unless Windows is completely hosed and you have no other option.

Well I am currently redownloading NW from he polish site without ARC to see if the stuttering and lag is caused from ARC. He also said to downgrade direct x. seems kind of stupid I would have to do that but if it makes these problems stop im all for it. Just want to be able to play the darn game

Kind of depends which version of windows you're running. XP was terribad, I will not deny that fact.
There are three different options for DirectX on the video tab (assuming you have a Directx10/11 compatible video card). Rather than downgrading DirectX on the OS (which could result in problems with other apps) it might be wiser to try each of the API options if you're seeing stuttering using "Auto". Just a thought. I always recommend folks install the most current version of DirectX 9 on Windows 7:

I just installed champions online. The directx that came along with it, fixed my stuttering problem. I removed the game afterwards. In my case an accident actually fixed NW. I was about to "go away" for a while because of the stuttering and decided to install champions online, again. However, after i realized that i only had about 20 minutes left, until my 6/7 celestial coins would expire, i gave invoking another shot and to my surprise, there was no lag, no stuttering, no freezing anymore.
Keep in mind, this is a suggestion. It might not work for you, but i wanted to share how i got it fixed on my rig. I did use dx 11, now dx 9 if that helps. (w7 enterprise)
The real question is, what causes the stuttering? ARC or the game itself.

In my case an accident actually fixed NW. I was about to "go away" for a while because of the stuttering and decided to install champions only, again.

Yeah thanks for the suggestions, Which directx do you have? I actually have champions installed already, downloaded it last week. Mines directx11
Sorry to hear that. I hope you'll be able to play again, soon. I'll keep my eyes open and post things here, if i can find more input about this issue.
Thanks a lot:) I really wish I could play but these issues just take the fun out of it.

So just to make sure, I downloaded WoW, and guild wars 2 again and they ran flawlessly. I then jumped on champions online and the same stuttering of moving things persists in that game just like neverwinter. Makes me think they will never fix this issue if its still present in an older game like champions.... sad

Just incase anyone looks at this and has ideas. I have windows 8, and GPU 7970m if any of that makes a difference
The lag is from the company shutting servers down probly. The player base is dropping. They have now started to beg people to come back and play the game even bribe them with free stuff. A copmany like this uses servers if they are not making full use of them and the game is loosing money they start to look at ways to trim down costs of running the game cutting out servers and using them for something else is a way to save money.
So get use to the lag it will be here now for along time to come.

Update. I'm trying /netgrpah in neverwinter and ping changes a lot from 120s-200s rapidly. also seems to be unpacking a crapload of stuff all the time. and sometimes when that freezing is happening i encounter the ping test freezes as well at a certain number for s short time. wish a dev would help out on this. I also have been looking around interenet and see in peoples videos the same thing is happening to them

Having this "lag" as well. I cast Oppressive Force, blink away, oh my god, OF is not casting, wait, it's now casting on my location, miles away from the mob pack, 0 damage. Steal Time, I have no idea when my CW is done casting it. Even worse is when my CW stops running for a bit in the middle of the fight and I mash Shift-something desperately to get it out of the overlapping red zones.
Ping around 170, but rapidly oscillating. Have no idea wtf is with this ping, I have very good 100 mbps connection that used to gave 30-40 ping on WoW.

I can max every game fine as well and never had interent problems but, maybe this game requires a little different wifi settings? I have no idea if this actually solved the problem yet but i hope so. I know nothing about networking so not sure if that helped or not.

Would really like a dev to reply to this or something. Tried everything. Wired, change wireless settings, change graphics settings, change direct x, tried port forwarding, tried flushing dns, tried swapping launcher for a different one as suggested by a dev a month ago from a different post. tried proxy. So Neverwinter techs, is this your games problem? and when are you going to fix it?
