Poor performance since maintenance update

oregonrob · December 2021

Since the December 15th maintenance update, my performance has been poor, but has gotten worse during the New Life Festival. In Betnikh, I cannot go more than 15 seconds without having a load screen pop up. I have to wait up to 10 seconds for the NPCs and other players to appear on the screen and many times they appear as shadows. Today, I was doing the performance quest for NLF in Stormhaven, and the while I got credit for the quest, the animation never appeared. I have checked my line speed and had a technician come out from my internet provider a couple of days ago and it checks out fine. I have disabled my anti-virus software and the problem remains. My latency is tracking at 13.2 MS and my download speed is 46 megs. I am not experiencing this problem with any other games that I play.

This has been happening to me since November.

Whats weird is its exactly like the same problem on Console back in 2016.

Even some of the structures have to load in with the NPC's.

Almost the same here, performance dropped after the holiday. I wasn't able to walk a few steps without getting a loading screen.
I reinstalled the game and now it crashes every 5min or so (with no error log)
