I've recently been experiencing problems with lag while running two clients, the first client loads up fine and is free of lag, however the second client will always regester yellow/red on the performance meter. Its the same problem if I log the second client onto my laptop also, which makes me think its something to do with the router (Linksys WRT320n). If any one has any ideas of how to resolve this problem, would be much appretiated if you shared. Thanks =)

When both clients are on a single computer, it's not the router.


When they are on a single computer, you may be able to improve things by changing the operating system's thread-scheduling algorithm to background mode.


On Vista, go to Control Panel: System: Advanced System Settings: Advanced: Performance: Settings: Advanced.


Then, under "Processor scheduling," check "background services."


This gives both instances of DAOC equal CPU time, instead of favoring the foreground instance.

Get a 600 dollar new computer and install daoc and run a kvm or a second monitor/keyboard/mouse and you wont have that problem
