Thank you very much! We are definitely going to investigate a way to improve this, in the meantime, having your view distance as high as comfortable to your standing FPS should definitely help!

Thanks for the info! I'm thinking that the load-on-demand at low view distance is putting pressure on your system - Istaria is a very old game and back then there was much more limited memory, so...

Do you have acceptable frame rate when standing still and turning on the spot? For testing, please try setting your view distance to half, or maximum - does this eliminate the lag spikes that happen...

What is your view distance slider set to? If the view distance is low, the game will have to load much more as you move - what graphics settings in general do you have set please?

Istaria does load areas as you go, could you please describe these lag spikes some more? Do they only happen when travelling to an area that you haven't been in yet, for example do you go to an area...

Do you have Full Real shadows enabled? This could be responsible for framerate issues - if you do, try turning them to Player and not Full Real!

Aw thanks so much everyone! We are still working on the issue - it looks like unfortunately this is another case of us encountering an issue where Istaria's ancient code isn't playing well with the...

This update has been released officially to the live shards and the below is now obsolete! Thanks everyone again for the testing!

The combat revamp is in full swing on...

Hi there! Are either of you using the UI Scaling option in the graphics menu please? There's a known issue where UI Scaling can cause the unintended movement of windows when opening and closing them,...

Apologies for the delay! Istaria's renderer isn't designed to provide shadows, these shadows were added (a very long time ago) as an optional but very inefficient feature for players who have FPS to...

Hi there! What setting do you have the shadows set to? "All Real" shadows can very much harm the game's framerate - if you're using this option, could you try Player Real or Blob Shadows and see if...

Hi there! There are currently no plans to alter Summit's lair and plot sizes, however there's always a possibility in the future that anywhere might be improved as we go over the world!

Note that...

It sounds like you're having an issue with patching which would explain why you're experiencing an issue that has previously been fixed - please make a ticket on our support website at...

Could you please do a full scan of the game files - click the Configuration button in the launcher, tick Full Scan, and then login, does that solve the issue?

Hi there! This issue should be fixed - are you still having this issue?

Hi there! This is a known issue with the Challenge Master that we're investigating, we'll get this lag fixed! This appears to be a server lag issue and not an issue with your game client.

It seems like Tramaniel is missing on Blight, we'll go find where it is! Sorry about that!

Hi there! Thanks for going to the effort to check this out!

The setting you're referring to is called "Large Address Aware" or LAA, and Istaria is already set to be large address aware (I double...

Hi there! On the server we have the core framework which is written in C++, and then the gameplay code ("the simulation") which is written in a bytecode based language which is generated from another...

We're really sorry for the delay getting back to you - are you still having an issue with the Breezes?

This has been fixed! Thank you very much for letting us know and we apologise for the inconvenience!

Thank you so much, it's so great to be here too! It's our pleasure and we do it all for the players - Istaria has been around for so long and we have no intention of stopping now! It's really a lot...

We've had to shut the servers down again due to an issue with the active quests on many characters being deleted, we're going to have to revert the hotfix and rollback the player database to before...

I'm really sorry for your loss, I know it feels awful and I hope you'll feel better soon - Istarians are thinking about you, you'll always be welcome here and we'll be really happy to see you back...

Thank you very much for letting us know, we'll look into this, and I've removed the anchor for you! Thanks for playing Istaria!
