Client performance issues

[Shisui]

Hello everybody,

in short, Im having game client performance issues when AB is attached. Without buddy, my client runs with maxed graphics @60 fps and it's smooth as hell, but if Im using the buddy, Im starting to have performance issues: FPS still looks more or less the same, but if Im trying to turn the view, it starts lagging and stops only when I stop turning.
The thing is Im half-way done with my combat assistant, but if there is no way to workaround performance issues, then it's useless, since Im not using buddy to grind/mine/farm/etc.

Any suggestions? Others experiencing same issues?

So anybody have experienced anything similiar?
Just to be clear - Im having those weird fps drops (it really looks like a slide show when turning) even if Im not using any plugins.
Platform: Windows 8.1.
@Out, any suggestions what might be causing it?

Try decrease mouse frequency from 1000 to 250 or 100

Changed polling frequency to 125: still not as smooth as clean client, but now it's almost unnoticeable.

are we talking about polling frequency on the mouse itself or is there a setting in AB i did not know about ?

Personally i just wrote a small message interceptor that stop most of the mouse events from reaching AA and the lag was mostly gone from it. It seem AB does a rather heavy work on every single message even if they are just a mousemove message (which are spammed a lot when you move the mouse around) and since it seem to happen inside the main AA thread, it mean that everything will lag ingame as a result.

It's the polling freq. of the mouse, AB doesnt have such setting. Worked fine tho.

What setting is this under, is it Archeage or OS related?
