I have no issues with movement or any keystrokes but as soon as I try to use a skill I have a delay before actually using it. At frist I thought everyone had this issue but as I watched gameplay videos I noticed almost everyones skills went off with out a hitch. Any suggestions as to what to do?

I get this issue after running the game for an hour or two.
I shut the game down, wait a few minutes, then try again.
If that doesnt work a reboot always works to get things caught up.

My lagwindow always looks like that no matter how well the game is running.

I am just recently returning to the game but I remeber it always having delay issues depending on area, objects around you, and time game has been running.

Would love to know of in ingame command to resync if that is the issue.

I've seen skill delay on some portions of Eastern Deadlands, but that was a long time ago when I was still on the old EU server. I haven't noticed this recently though.

installed the game on Windows 7 to see if it made a difference since my browsing speed is better in 7 but I had the same issues ><
Kinda makes negate attack pointless.

I stumbled across these tips today looking for something else.

Have not tried any yet so not sure if they matter.

I too am using Windows 7. I havent messed with the compatability modes to see if helps but that will be my next step.

3G)
In the Horizons dir, there is a file called transport_client_config_local.
In that file, there is a variable HighSpeedClient which is set to false.
I set mine to true, since I have broadband. It sure seems to make a difference.
Also, it will change back to false when you must dl a new patch so I suggest making the file read only.

Use of course at your own risk.

this step in the guide I just linked, caused me to not be able get past the first part of the loading of the game. I see sky and empty INV/VAULT but it just sat there. Changed the setting back to false and it worked again.

I remember changing that setting in the past it helped but seems it doesnt help me now..may help you though

Just tried it...Was still able to play the game but no difference

I found another thing that made a HUGE difference for me today.
Open these ports in your router/firewall

Ports: 47101 – 47110 and 47701 – 47710
Traffic Type: UDP/TCP

This made porting 5x or more faster then before!
Now I am not afraid to Aughendell, which was always the worst to load.
I use to only be able to port 2-3 times before lag of death and a reboot of game.
Tonight I ported 7-8 times in a row and have yet to see any lag.

Not sure if this will help with the skill delay but I will know in a couple of hours since that is when I start to notice it.

Tried it, didn't notice much of a difference. Porting has never been a problem for me.

Sigh...tried everything I could think of. The skills show up in the queue display next to my health and xp meter and then a second or 3 later it moves to the top and starts to cast

After the recent patch for Windows 7 (didnt read what it was) I have been able to play for more then 2 hours before I get the lags.

Not sure if this is coincidence or a fix..just sharing the info
