    So, I already checked with the troubleshooting guide and it is wonderful, but the help I am looking for is not in there. My friend in-game told me that a GM stated that this lag supposedly affects the Americans (both North and South) more. I heard another character talking about a vmware program to prevent or stop the lagging on Mac computers. Is there anything similar for PC users? If this lag isn't a server issue, but something else... what can be done to prevent it?

    There is no lag that targets America, or is there any reason why you would lag more on a mac than a pc.

    I'm not familiar with that "something else" is.

    VMware is a virtual machine program, essentially allowing you to run a basic version of Windows on your computer while already logged in on your standard Windows user. However it has no affect on the server side lag. It's available for Windows, I believe macs use boot camp or parallels instead. People do use VMware to avoid graphical glitches with bosses such as HT or Zak though.

    Ah, thank you Andreas. Well, that's what my friend said. Thanks for clearing up that misunderstanding. I'm glad it's not an "American" thing, hahaha.

    Also, oooooooh...

    Do you know if the new patch will fix those graphical issues, so we don't have to depend on VMware to avoid those glitches?
