I think there may be an issue with the new tooltips. Try turning them off and see if it helps.

Lost connection 4 times in an hour yesterday with custom UI, then switched to Mythic UI and old icons and was able to not lose connection for about 4 hours straight. Once I lost connection I logged back in and lost connection again within one minute of being logged in. I then restarted my machine (warm boot), and came back in and the game was lagging really bad so I logged out. This kind of behavior to me seems like a memory leak of some kind. I do not know if it is related to the old icons, but the slowing down reminds me of a memory leak. The only way to know is to do a cold boot next time and see if I can stay in again for a long time.

I resorted to using the Mythic UI with old icons and my CTD went down drastically until about 4 hours of playing. Then, I lost connection twice within one minute of playing and the game lagged really badly after a warm boot, so I logged right out. This is what a memory leak will typically do.

Prior to this, I used the updated derida UI and lost connection 4 times in about one hour of playing.

I logged on again last night and was able to play for 2 hours without a connection loss and logged off without ever losing connection. So far, this appears to be a memory leak somewhere that the custom UIs make worse somehow.

The only other thing I noticed that stands out, is there are times when you cross certain terrain or port and you get a long lag spike that is longer than the usual ones that you get sometimes in the same areas. It is a prolonged delay in the game for about a second. This may be due to the memory leak slowing down the game enough for you to notice the usual laggy area more, but I lost connection one of those times in this laggy area.

IMO, it is a memory leak.

switched to atlantis ui and still get dropped alot. new glitch though, started last night in the frontier, when i enter/exit a tower or keep i sometimes lose names. when i open options window all the names are clicked off and i have to turn them on again. also i was on my shade and tried to temp for a tower claim, but apparently groups with stealthers in them cant claim, nice glitch since hib stealthers do alot of tower takes.

seems i only have problems on ywain cluster, no drops or other issues on mordred or gaheris. i been having a sense of dejavue with this whole thing, i think i remember similar stuff going on the last time mythic took steps to prevent lag, back when they nerfed animist pets because of the lag they caused. i remember the slow seige weapon animations and people dropping, dont remember what the fix was though.

I couldn't log in with MXN customer UI, so turned it off and put the basic UI on. I still crash to desktop every 5-10 mins.
