I'm having simlar problems on mages archers and melees. Generally, it takes about 30 min for the computer to start to glitch kind of like a hiccup in the video. Then it starts to slow to a crawl then crashes with the ac client error or a network frame error. I thought it was something to do with the other plugins I use but it turns out it still happens with just virindi tank running...the newest version v.0.3.0.20. This is on two separate computers one with 8 Gigs of RAM and an nvidia 9600GT and the other with 4 Gigs of RAM and an nvidia 8600GTS. So??? I turned off Virindi Tank and turned on all the other plugins and it works normally....I love virindi tank when it works for those 20 min or so though

Ok, I did a fresh install of vista sp 1, AC, decal and .20 of Vtank to see if it helped.


I'm playing my archer today, and am still getting the problem. At first, I thought it was because I started and stopped the macro to change my items and gems/food. I started getting the lag in attacking after 10 minutes or so. I restarted decal and AC to try some other things.


On this second try, I already had my gems/food and items listed, so I just hit go. I'm getting a fast target switch but it takes several seconds to attack after only a few minutes of running the macro. Eventually, the screen stutters and AC crashes, so I restarted AC and decal again to do another test.


On the third try, I turned off looting thinking that this might be the common denominator. Maybe I created a loot profile setting that was causing a problem. Unfortunately, after only a few olthoi, I started getting the attack delay.


When running the macro, here is what I perceive when targeting takes place. Enter combat mode, select target ( I see the little gold arrow bounding box around the target), then this gold arrow bounding box disappears, then it reappears again and the attack begins. What's especially strange is that this cycle isn't consistent every time. Sometimes it's nearly immediate, then it gets slow like we've described above, then sometimes it will switch quickly again. I don't know, is there something in the way targets are selected that may be causing a problem?

Well, I tried targeting by angle and by range and it didn't seem to make a difference.


Let me know if there's some other kind of testing I can do to help out.

Okay, those of you having this problem please try the following build instead and let me know if it makes a difference:

After several minutes with .21a and a hoarde of olthoi, I can tell you that whatever you changed seems to be working very well! Target switching and attack initiation are back to being nearly instant again! I've got full looting on and other plug-ins active as well. Looting seems twice as fast as before too.


Thanks! I'll keep you posted on any changes.

Okay, I've put that one up as 0.3.0.21, then.
