    Title: Ranged abilities lagging. Unable to take ranged damage.
    Reproduction Rate:100%
    Blocker? No?
    Details:Ranged abilities will lag after a few minuets of game play. The Cool Downs will activate but no arrows will fire. 5-10 minuets later I'll hear the sound effect for the ability and if I'm looking at a target it will take damage. Auto attack continues to function. Focus is at 100% and the abilities are locked to the action bar. I'm also unable to receive ranged damage from archers during the lag periods. Switching combat decks to melee or restarting the game fixes the issue. All other abilities besides range work as per normal.
    Steps to Reproduce: Log in and use ranged abilities.

    Maybe try some basic steps, like rebooting and then loading the game and see if it still happens.. if so, maybe switch to a different zone/scene, and see?

    @Artipeng , if you can DM me your sota-log.txt file in Discord (or email it to support@portalarium.com tagging me in it and include a link to this thread)
    The log can be found here (where the game is installed): (program files or your custom path)\Portalarium\Shroud of the Avatar\Shroud of the Avatar_Data

    With your specs above, I assume the game is installed on an SSD, if not that could be an issue; be sure that if your system has a legacy spindle drive for C: and an SSD data drive, that the game is NOT installed on C:

    Another test you can do is to disable antivirus realtime scanning and see if there is an improvement.
