I haven't played for a couple years. Same computer, everything was fine back then. I get on now and find I get 1 frame per minute in town! I posted about it here and was referred to this thread... it cripples me in town. I didn't get any of my characters out of a town...I wonder if I even could? 45% of people have this problem? Pft... how is it that when this problem was first introduced it didn't cause an immediate unscheduled maintenance?
I mean what is the dialogue between their employees when this subject comes up? "Half the players' games freeze almost completely when they're in town because of a few NPCs!"
"Sucks for them." ?????
I'm not versed in the programming of video games, but I would venture to guess that this problem in no way needs to exist.
Someone said the tempest update introduced this? I just reinstalled the game after a long break so I have no idea what's in this patch... besides cripple many gamers, what do these NPCs do now that they didn't do before? How long ago did this start?
