2 Tibia Clients running smoothly, when I open a third, it seems a bit laggy. If I add another 1 it seems like it's running even more laggy..


This is when I use CTRL+ALT+DEL and open the task manager :)

It seems that that 'not active systemprocesses' is taking up to 60 to 99% of my CPU, could that be the problem my clients start lagging? They are on 10 framerate each, the lowest u can turn tibia on..

That isnt using your cpu but instead showing how much of your cpu is not being used :P It says at the bottom how much is being used and in the pic its 13% - You shouldnt have any lagg if your cpu isnt being maxed... maybe your graphics card is crappy? Update your graphics drivers? change from dx9 to open gl or dx5 and switch back to dx9 (usually messing with these fixes it)

Could you post your system specs?

Im not familiar with nvidia graphics cards but those look like your north and south bridge on-board graphics chips which if you don't have a dedicated graphics card then this could be your problem as your ram and processor is more than enough to run 10+ clients.

Is this a new problem or has it always been like it? and like i said changing your tibia graphics options to use dx5 or opengl could solve the issue and also updating your graphics drivers

Edit: Just did a bit of research and im 100% sure now that you don't have enough graphics power as your current graphics chips are weak as fook! There's next to nothing you can do about this if its a laptop but if its a desktop you could buy a gpu for £30-60 and combined with your current cpu could easily handle 20 clients @ 10fps but i doubt you want to do that?

But yeah like i said test out dx5 and opengl and updating your video/graphics drivers and get back to me :P Another thing you could do is try to find a program to limit your tibias to 1 or even 0 fps while botting

But a awesome PC ;) and bot 10+ :D

He would only need a cheap graphics card to run 10+ lol :P

Could u name me a graphic card which would be able to help me out? Sometimes I feel like shit when 200 mages beat me in speed at level 330 lol, could that be cus of the graphic card also (my clients run pretty laggy if I got 3 open)?

PS: Thanks for zeh help!

I don't really know much about how the walking system works with the client because I don't understand why fps would slow anyone down but I've tested this and lower end pcs walk slower than me (testing with my brothers and friends) but ping also would play a huge part in this as you can only send a walk command as fast as your ping! Trying pinging the tibia server a few times and if its below 80ms then its fine, you should only worry if its in the 100s really but maybe straining your pc makes keyboard strokes slower so even though you are holding the arrows down your computer might be delaying the commands to the tibia client. - These are just my guesses and what ive gathered over the years please don't assume its fact :P

The cheapest graphics card ive used is an AMD/ATI Radeon HD 4650 1GB which with a slightly weaker processor than yours (2.93GHz and older technology) i was able to bot 4 runescape accounts and 4+ tibias using tugbot and neobot and all at 10fps and runescape on lowest settings too and my computer was still usable for youtube and movies etc

I think that a NVIDIA graphics card would work better for you though so ill find something on par with that HD 4650...

Ok so i think i found one. NVIDIA GeForce GT 430


Around the same price as the HD 4650, stronger in some areas and weaker in others... I personally would get an AMD/ATI card over NVIDIA any day as they are generally better for the price and in most cases more efficient but sometimes when a motherboard has on-board graphics (like yours) that motherboard tends to 'like' that brand more, yours being NVIDIA.

I can't promise these or equivalent graphics card will fix your problem because there are 101 things that could cause your lagg but based on what i know and what you've said im pretty certain a cheap ass graphics card atleast as powerful as the 2 ive talked about will be more than enough for tibia :P

Please PM or keep posting here if you are going to buy one because i would hate to see you buy the wrong one or get conned.

Disabling recent loot and killed creatures HUD, if they're on, should help with this. They are currently pretty inefficient and if you're having graphics issues that can be the huge difference on a slow card.

Thanks for the advice!
