Sir Taliesin: Part of my trouble is the cheapo winmodem Gateway included in my system. I didn't know any better, so I took it. And up til now, it wasn't an issue. I've got 128mb Ram and decent video/sound cards. But the winmodem apparently eats up ram while working. Slows me down. Although that's not Charlie's problem he has high speed connection. We both experience varying degrees of lag at certain times and not always for either or both. Uh, is it clear as mud, yet? Sorry!


When Charlie is clearing a trap or one of the others is doing something that takes them to another screen (inventory) I sometimes get a small lag, not critical.

Turbovee is hosting and doesn't see lag, the game's actually running on his machine(saved there). I am considering a higher speed hookup or reg modem. Planned to do it earlier, but didn't get a chance and now it will have to wait a little.

What is your new system? I think I posted my specs back in one of turbovees calling charlie and cb threads a while ago. Not top of the line now, but it was a year and half ago!
