I am sure, that i have binded the keys for use of the sprites skills and they are still not working. My keyboard still works fine though
It also seems to be happening after a certain level of sprite possibly since at lvl 1-25 it was working fine then it suddenly works and then not works at around 26-50 then after 50, stop working forever. Mine is currently lvl 76 and never works, no matter how much i spam the skill button or how long i hole down the button.
Battle sprite skills not working
When I play spiral knights, my battle sprite which is below level 10, half the time my battle sprite doesn't attack, too.
And the computer I used had 3.1 GHz and didn't lag.
Having a faster CPU does not get rid of the lag I'm afraid.
From what I can see and how they implemented the battle sprites the lag is from your ISP/internet connection to their server then to the battle sprite. Its not local like your character which i find a bit strange as to why they did that.
The issue is with the programming. Notice that if you immediately turn and click on your battle sprite skill, it will not work, because your battle sprite has been scripted with an action to turn and face your direction, thereby refusing any other actions set on it.
To fix this issue, just let your battle sprite turn, and when it's done, click on the skill you wish to use.
zaffy your theory might just be right ive been testing it myself and found that you may be right
It most likely happens to everyone who are having lag issues.
