I have noticed Awesomium.exe is causing unwanted lagg and problems with load times is there a way to block this process without harming the game overall like permanently, I am sick of running windows task manager just to try and stop awesomium every time i log out or zone it keeps restarting.

    I assigned it a lower priority and it didn't improve game performance.

    How did you notice that it causes lag?

    For Windows Users:
    1. Right-click on your desktop and create a new shortcut.
    2. Copy and Paste the following code into the Location box:
    %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /k taskkill /F /IM AwesomiumProcess.exe /T
    
    3. Press Next key.
    4. Name the shortcut "Kill Awesomium Process".
    5. Press Finish key.
    6. Drag the new shortcut to your taskbar to pin it for easy access.

    Activate the shortcut after you've logged into the game (actually logged your character) and it will kill all processes named "AwesomiumProcess.exe" and keep a cmd window open to give you the results.
    SUCCESS: The process with PID 19260 (child process of PID 29972) has been terminated.
    
    Each time you log a character, you'll have to activate the shortcut.

    Awesomium is what powers the UI for the game. Any "lag" it causes would be related to collecting information you want to be displayed to you. This is ill advised. It's used by many games, and well tested. It's not the problem.
