if theres more then 5 or so people in it, after about 20 minutes it starts to lag big time.

Its happened on 3 different computers, so I know its not that

 

We think we know how to fix this and are looking into it.

It is more machine dependant than server, from what we can tell. The chat room uses the user's RAM to hold the previous conversation text in memory, and after a while if starts to fill up. This is the theory that we are looking into.

What are the RAM specs on the computers that you used?

 

1 has 256, the other 2 have 512, didnt detect a noticable difference with either. The IEXPLORER.EXE process even when the chat room is the slowest never gets larger then about 35 megs

 

Okay, we'll continue to look into this.

Thanks!

 

no prob, I hope you figure it out because the chat room has become the "place to be" and it gets somewhat annoying having to leave and re-enter every 30 mins or so

 

I've got 2 gigs of RAM in my PC at home and only noticed a bit of lag when we first opened it up and had almost 50 people in there.

 

I'd be willing to bet there probably arent many people here with 2 gigs of ram. I've never gotten any lag when its first opened up, just after ive been logged in for a while and there are lots of people in there. From talking to others, I'm not the only one.
