Browser: IE7.0.6000.16575 Loation: long lasting battles Items equipped: Obsidian Cloak, Asgardian Shield, Koofu, Keeshish-Kin Whenever I start a battle and then go for lunch, or part from the computer for more than 15 minutes while still being engaged in a battle, I notice the browser is slowed down to the point where it's almost impossible to use it any more. It seams that the animations in AQ, or something else I don't know, constantly allocates memory. The battle lags then heavily, until it is won. Once the battle is over the game returns to its normal speed. I notice this only with AQ, DF does not suffer from this problem, but I have it open at the same time. Normally I have 12 or 13 fps constantly during a battle, but it drops to 3-5 fps after these 15 minutes. IE takes up nearly 15k kb of memory instead of less than 11,7k kb of memory. EDIT: This is probably a specific monster/armor/weapon/shield or pet causing the problem. If you notice anything consistently causing the problem, let us know. EDIT 2: I can't confirm which item it is yet, but I tried two different settings. The first setting did not generate any noticable problems, while the second produced them fairly quickly. Location: Frostvale House, fighting King Frost First Setting: Primal Grap, Nemesis Mace, no pet, no guest, no misc, no shield. Result: After about 10 minutes the screen saver turned on, then I moved the mouse. I had 13 fps pretty much all the time. Second Setting: Obsedian Cloak, Poise, Asgardian Shield, Koofu, Keeshish-Kin, Belequas Gift Result: After 10 minutes the fps drop to 11fps and the screen saver turns on. Interestingly enough, additional 5 minutes caused a drop to 10fps, yet another 5minuts reduced that to 9fps. I'll keep a close eye on this, maybe it's a specific item, but maybe it's the animation all together. After all, I chose a heavily animated setting with a cape and transparency. I'll update this once I know more. EDIT 3: King Frost, another time. After about 30 minutes I reached 10-11 fps with Primal Grap, Nemesis Mace, Asgardian Shield, Koofu, Keeshish-Kin, Belequas Gift. That is significantly slower than with the second setup, but excludes Poise and Obsedian Cloak as heavily animated items. With yet another fight against king frost, I equipped only Obsedian Cloak and Poise. After 30 minutes I reached 9fps. The next try was in a compleately different environment with a different monster. I was fighting a Frogzard in the Moglin Forest Challange, and equiped Nemesis Armour, Reign Shield, Fansarins Machete, no pet, no guest, no misc. I had 13fps constantly. Again Frogzard in Moglin Forest Challange, this time with Obsedian Cloak, Asgardian Shied, Poise, Keeshish-Kin, Koofu. Again 13fps. Last setup: Obsedian Cloak, Poise, Asgardian Shield, Koofu, Keeshish-Kin, Belequas Gift but this time fighting Avalurch outside of the frostval house. After 25 minutes I was at 8fps I conclude that the frostvale house background causes lag. I tried different equipments and different monsters, but the result is similar although the degree differs.
