[Enduir]

Numerous users are reporting serious lag and choppy gameplay in Chrome, I'm also seeing memory use spike from the regular 50-100 to 800-1mil within the Chrome task manager.

I had a lot of lag as well so I switched to opera...

I play on Chrome, only notice the usual little bit of lag

UNTIL

Updated Chrome today since it's been yelling at me to do so in the upper right corner for a while, and bam massive lag all over the place, unplayable other than chatting.

Edit: Strangely enough, after this Chrome update playing in Opera or Firefox is equally bad.

Nice user

ran some traces like plarper, 9/10 times all is normal (~50-60ms). Every once in a while I get an outlier of 1.5k ms but I think that's just my internet being it's usual spotty self.

We've been noticing problems specifically when using Chrome + Win10 or Chrome + Adblock or Adblock Plus. The problems may or may not be specific to Chrome. We recommend using the downloadable Nodiatis client found on the "New Client" link at the bottom of the page for best performance.
