It doesn't matter if I am in game or not, but after an hour or so, the client gets really laggy making it hard to play or watch games.
I noticed it as well, pretty sure they have a memory leak somewhere because it causes temperature to rise quite significantly in the RAM area of my computer.
ya, this is the so called stutter lag. very frustrating and has been around since DoGz took over. Sometimes it helps to mute effects and sounds, resume and then unmute both resume. Sometimes it can only be cured by restarting the client. I believe Gedden has it on his fix list
- been like this awhile, it was worse in the past resulting in visual glitches etc...now just stalls.
