Intense lag on desktop in certain areas
I haven't played Maple on a desktop I have in a while so I decided to log on today. Thing is, I lagged incredibly hard after logging in. However, when I go into the CS or Star Planet, Maple runs as smooth as it did before. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Also, back when I played Maple on this desktop (6 months ago?), I could play without any lag whatsoever

[quote=yvgamer94]Sorry I was a bit busy. As nhan1st mentioned that you could have a memory leak, when you are running maple, right click the task bar (the bar at the bottom of your desktop screen) and select task manager. Then click on one of the tabs that names 'performance'. Are your first set of bar running close to 100%? also where it says memory, is it maxed out? This method works for windows vista and 7 and I'm not to sure about windows 8.[/quote]
Sorry I've been a bit busy and haven't been able to check. However, if MS is doing what you think it is, what will I have to do to get rid of the problem(s)?

[quote=crazypoorer]From what I can remember, nothing has changed on my desktop since I mainly use it to browse the internet and do homework.
The only thing I left up when I tried to log on Maple was Google Chrome, but I was able to do that before so I assumed that wasn't the problem
And sorry, I"m not a person who's familiar with technology. What exactly do you want me to list?

Run task manager while Maple story is running. Check if there's a huge spike in your RAM usage or 100% disk usage. Usually if disk usage is 100% for an extended period of time without a good excuse, it's a memory leak. Also turn of windows automatic updates as it burns quite a bit of cpu usage.
[quote=yvgamer94]The game for me has not gotten much lag for me but better optimized imho (can run it on my single core 1gb ram lappy, couldn't run it a few years back). What would likely be the problem is the changes on the pc if there were any. Any new programs? Running things/programs in the background? Post your specs [/quote]

Either severs or you have a memory leak.
