why is the game so laggy when running multiple clients?

[Darwoth]

i typically use enders client and with one client open everything is fine, crisp etc. soon as i open two clients though everything turns to **** and it feels like i am walking through mud. issue is definitely not my computer unless there is some strange setting that needs tweaked, running a 3.5 gig i7 3770, 16 gig of ram among other stuff on a high speed internet connection.

soon as i close one client the performance is restored, have tried with one ender client open and one default salem client and it seemed to **** out performance just as bad. (couldnt tell as easy since the default client is crap and does not even have the old style follow cam anymore, just the laggy "smoothed" version, seriously make a client worth using folks. if ender ever stops updating his and nobody filled the void i would not even play)

have not tried apxeologs client as it is now outdated, is this issue unique to me or is everyone unable to multiclient without suffering a severe performance and framerate drop?

THIS, I also agree on the rest, running multiple clients drops performance by a lot.

I have a crappy AMD dual core, 4 gig ram and can run 2 clients perfectly fine. I would suggest you delete the Salem folder, clear your java cache and redownload Enders, I have to do that every 2 weeks or so else it just starts lagging out with rock bottom FPS, after a reinstall its like looking at halle berry's face, smooth as silk!

just did that, didnt make any difference. the reason it probably helps you is because your computer is dated or you are not clearing your map folders etc.

let me be clear i can "run" 4+ clients without "problems" its just that each one will be laggy, sluggish and sometimes stuttery crap as soon as i open the second one.

maybe you should update your computer

[Darwoth]

it is updated.


some further testing i have noticed that it seems to not be nearly as bad if the characters are on different minimap tiles, if i am a screen away, inside a building or in boston it is almost back to normal. but if the characters are in the same area it turns to **** again.

I get the same thing, i don't really mind it but i'm scared one these days i'm going to get haven error while transferring silver between alts in Boston.

I get this too, really the only situation where it lags noticeably with multiple clients running for me.

Dont have minimap storing on anymore, 5 core in jan yum.

Yes I also experience performance issues on multiple clients. I wouldn't even play the game for 1 client for a while then I fixed it by forcing my gpu to go all out on salem and some tweaks, now I can play with 2 client without a problem other than restarting clients every 2-3h (even 3 for 25-30mins then it starts lagging/spiking). However, sometimes its just unplayable with even 2 clients. I couldn't figure out why that happens, its pretty random.
