Upon logging in recently, I noticed the game took a LOT longer to load up and get into a Haven. At least a lot longer than it did when I played it a few hours ago.
Once inside the Haven I tried to enter one of the Clockworks, and the game hung at a black screen for 20 minutes. I restarted the program and got back into the Haven- to my suprise I could not open my Character window. My arsenal took a LONG time to load and pressing 'O' would cause the entire program to freeze.
I had not experienced anything like this in my last play, I ran around fine in the Haven, even with all of the people (40+), but now I can't even get over 20 FPS in a Haven with even as little as 5 people in the Arcade.
In the Town Square, I noticed the game takes long to load as it does with the Arcade, and once loaded, the background displays of the map do not appear. This didn't happen before.
My computer specs:
Dell XPS M1730
Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo CPU T7700 @ 2.40 GHz, 2.39 GHz
3.18GB of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8700M GT Graphics Card
I have tried re-installing the game and just re-installed java, no luck.
It's as if the more I play, the slower it gets. My computer had been off for a good 4 hours or so before I played again, and during my last play I was getting random FPS drops to 0 FPS that would occur periodically after about 2 hours of playing. It continuously got worse to the point where the FPS drops would last up to 3 minutes.
