    Ever since the new source the client takes about 2 minutes to load for me. It takes less than 4 seconds when I try other servers. When it does load, sometimes after I click on my character it gets stuck and nothing ever happens until I close it. When I do manage to get in-game, sometimes after I'm entering a portal my client begins to crash.

    Am I the only one?

    What OS are you using, and have you tried different compatibility modes? I found that if I have compatibility mode on at all, I get a lot more blackscreens and a hard time doing anything without lag. Every computer and system is different. Overall I'm finding the new source much smoother, response time is better for most things except for a few things (loading all the characters when you first enter FM, mobs loading for the first time).

    It was happening to me on a VM with windows XP, the exact same issues. I tried all the compability modes and etc. Nothing helped, plus the client itself could not get out of compability mode, the option seems to be locked even if you uncheck it and press apply. As soon as you close the properties window, it'll be in compability mode again on its own.

    I just stopped using my VM and use windows 10 instead in windows 7 compability mode. Works better that way.

    Yes, my client tends to get much more lagger ever since the new source launched and it is much much harder to launch my client. Although these problems already exist before it launched but this has definitely worsen. As of now, I have tired launching MR over 30minutes while changing the compatibility as stated in https://royals.ms/forum/threads/parameter-fix.87501/#post-460507 but it doesn't help (win10).

    The client FPS has dropped for me personally, just a little. but its noticeable, also fps drops a LOT when i walk into an area, and see people for the first time, fps goes down to 10 for about 2 seconds, then it goes back to normal... (this happens every time i see a new person) it fucking sucks and tbh its a downgrade for someone like me who has shit internet, having people load in, and stay loaded in would get rid of this completely, (which the old version did) But apparently its better so... whatever.

    I think a lot of people including me have the same problem. It's an extremely dumb "feature" and hopefully Matt will realise that in the future :) It was originally meant to reduce lag, but all it does is create more. I'm tired of getting lag spikes every time I meet new people. Not to mention the minimap is basically useless now. And the chat not showing when you're out of range.. Yep.. There's a reason no other server does this. It's simply a dumb "feature" :)

    It's been a full month. and i'm getting really tired of waiting. this is legit the ONLY game i play nowadays and i'm getting sick of it, i'm waiting for the SP reset, so i can get back into my white knight, i got the idea to roleplay as a pokemon while it being an IL mage, and i can't do that till character creation, and i'm just in general really sick of waiting. + the dumb changes they made, makes it really hard to want to stay. the only reason i'm even considering staying is because of people like you, and my friends of course :) Just hard to see reason's to continue playing on this server, after a full month of waitin... any idea's on how to have fun? i got nothin. i was planning on going to a new server temp but idk what one to goto lol, suggestions would be nice.

    Hahah, I like your Pokemon idea :D But my suggestion to you is, don't bother playing the game yet. Do what most people are doing, waiting. I know that it really sucks, but I'd rather wait till it's complete, instead of playing a game in alpha :) I agree that it can be hard to find a reason to stay. I'm staying because of friends, like you are c: Oh and my hope that they'll change the way the game loads characters back to the way it used to be. (It's game breaking imo)
    Oh and awh! ^_^'

    I'm using Window 7 and didn't switch OS when the transition happened. I'll try different compatibility modes and let you know if anything worked for me.

    Settings were locked on Windows 98 and Windows Me for some strange reason. It does seem to run faster than before so I guess that's better

    If it's still stuck on Windows 98/Windows ME, try this:
    You will notice compatibility for mapleroyals.exe is set to "windows 98/me" along with the fact that the compatibility mode is enabled
    You will notice that you cannot change those properties as they are greyed out. Select "Change settings for all users"
    Untick "run this program in compatibility mode for :", once you've done that go ahead and tix the box "Run as Administrator"
    Step 6: Apply all settings and run mapleroyals.

    Server is dead sweetie. Join another one. Royals no longer stands up to its reputation.
