Combat sluggishness/lag and just weird stuff

In R26 I am experiencing really weird things in combat most of the time, I assume because of lag.
Symptoms:

• I will be fighting a mob at close range and suddenly it disappears into thin air. I look around, confused, but then find it some distance away fighting with my pet or someone else.
• I keep losing my targets in the middle of a battle. I will be shooting fire arrows at a mob that is in range, and suddenly it is no longer targeted, even if it hasn't moved. I frantically hit the TAB key to regain the target while I'm casting my spells. Many an innocent bunny rabbit has become the unintentional target of my magic because of this

Both of the above symptoms kept happening while fighting the troll at the Ruined Keep today.

The third annoying thing is related to my combat bar:

• Skills being fired from my combat bar are subject to terrible lag. More often than not, I have to click on a glyph more than once to get it to fire. Often I am unable to stack glyphs. I try to drag one on top of another, but it is like dragging the glyphs out of quicksand. By the time I am able to stack a glyph and finally click on the stacked glyph to fire it off, other party members have performed 4 or 5 actions. It makes it look like I'm standing around doing nothing.

 

I've also (on Win7) been getting lag spikes in combat and experiencing the difficulty firing a glyph by clicking on it. Interestingly, using the numbers to fire the glyphs rather than clicking is 100% reliable.

 

Ive been playing intensely for like 5 days now on the linux client, and mostly doing combat, and experience none of these problems. In fact, combat is smoother for me than it ever has been.

Occasionally, a mob "realizes" its too far from its spawn point, and runs back there at light speed. I could see some people perceiving this as teleportation if there is lag at that moment. I doubt this explains the symptoms youre experiencing, though.

 

I didn't have this problems with earlier releases, either. Windows 10 is still not an officially supported OS, so that might be part of the problem in conjunction with my graphics driver. Leashing is not the problem.

 

As said above, the lag in the interface is only there from using mouse. Just to see my point use your numbers and press the"R" key to stack glyphs. You will notice no lag at all.. Stacking or firing off spells. Now when trying to mouse click there are issues. This is a new bug with R26. I would bug report it next time, as I have as well.

 

I'll try using the number keys and report back.

 

I use mouse clicks and numbers interchangeably. Depends on how my hands feel at the moment. On linux client, I notice no difference.

 

On the overworld map, does anyone else notice a weird sort of surging movement? It's like my avatar gains a bit of speed every second step, this just started occurring this release...

 

I am experiencing the same lag in combat. I will charge a mob and its already 5 feet behind me. This was not occurring in the previous release for me either.

 

Yup, im experimenting lag spikes too, not even when fighting but also when decorating.
