My laptop is not the best one in the world but the game plays really well for everything but at ESD/Qo'nos, it seems to lag more than it should is there anything I can do to fix this.

    It's the balloon spam coming from the new party poppers. The only thing that needs fixing is the poppers.
    I ask nothing but that you remember me.

    in your video options turn down the #Objects allowed to be seen

    Also reduce or turn off Reflections quality. The main issue with the balloons is that they're all highly reflective round surfaces, and when you put a lot of those in a small area, the required computations to render them all goes way up.

    Okay, is there anything I can do about my load time, it seems like it is getting slower.

    get a nice condo right beside the Cryptic studios servers.

    Because we all are experiencing it.

    Unfortunately this is the only solution . I run a 512 mb GPU with settings to absolute minimum and the lag is still there .

    The problem is that the so called shard can't handle moving an object for more then 5 players without any noticeable lag .

    Basically if you see that the server isn't responding , you should expect a laggy day .


    Don't expect a solution any time soon . The game probably doesn't make enough money to justify server upgrades . Financial problems is why it went F2P in the first place .
