When I started playing Fiesta on my new laptop in April, I loved it. Everything ran great, and I rarely even had the slightest bit of lag, and even during the early summer in Elderine (On Epith) I was faced with no lag problems. Then, Project Powder came out, I played it for several weeks and enjoyed the game immensely.

Then everything went down the drain.

I have a HP Pavilion dv6700z, with AMD Turion64 x2 processor with 2Gigs of RAM, with, you guessed it, Windows Vista Home Premium, 64bit. I couldn't play due to the SharpLauncher issues, which I understood. But after three weeks of work, there was finally a patch, and I was overcome with relief.

But when I was logging on to Fiesta, I was suffering from severe lag, lag which I hadn't even experienced on my old computer, a computer running an Intel Centrino Single Core, with 512MB of RAM. 75% of the times that I logged onto Fiesta, I'd experience a BSoDing crash, which became very agitating after two or three login attempts. I've given up hope on even attempting to log on to Fiesta, because I know that after a half an hour of crashing, rebooting, and repeating, I won't get half an hour of gametime in before the next crash takes me out.

And in the 24 hour span that I played in the Closed Beta Testing of Blackshot, I fell in love. Everything was flawless with the game. Except for the still looming lag. I put up with the severe lag, crashes, and issues involving the 64Bit Vista quick patch, to test out the new game. And I know for a fact I'll be playing it in the future, that is, if I will even be able to play.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to insult Outspark Team, because if I disliked your games, I'd simply leave. But that right there is the thing, I don't want to leave. This site, by far, has the best moderation, consumer services, and players I've ever experienced. I just want to be able to enjoy my gameplay with my fellow Outsparkalites, and be able to get back to some long lost friends.

Simply put, I love you guys, I love the games, and I love the community. But the problems that have plagued me ever since the SparkLauncher was instituted have ruined and pretty much eliminated my experience on any Outspark game. I just wish the problems were resolved, or at least reviewed, because I'm SOOOOO STOKED for playing Blackshot once the Open Beta Testing comes out.

So please, GMs, take a look into the subject, because I know for a fact that I'm not the only user suffering from lag hindering me from playing my beloved games.

I've had a noticeable lag issue when I played with the new launcher in the mix. I don't even know what's causing the issue, but it's obviously there.

Try minimizing you'r setting in-game,
then try closing all un-needed programs.

Internet Explorer, Firefox Ect.

I exit out of everything before I even attempt at thinking about playing Fiesta. It is seriously that bad.
