    GabrielD, I believe I was the one you grouped with.  I'd recommend that you post on the official boards:



    http://boards.dungeonrunners.com



    First, it's important to determine what kind of 'lag' you're experiencing.  Are you suffering from a poor frame rate or from 'rubberbanding' (suddenly snapping back x number of feet that you just ran).  Frame rate is typically caused by your computer, whereas rubberbanding is normally caused by packet loss or other network issues.



    Regarding fps,  there are very few graphics options to set within the game.  Here are the following options:



    Resolution - this can have a huge impact on performance.  Don't pick a resolution higher than your card can handle.  Most modern cards can handle at least 1024X768.



    Full Screen - Yes or No .  Allows you to run in full screen or windowed mode.  Shouldn't affect performance too much unless you're trying to run in a resolution that is too high for optimal performance.



    Vertical Synch - Yes or No.  Turning Vertical Synch off increases performance, but can cause graphical 'tearing'.



    Brightness     - 1 through 10 .  Basically a gamma setting controlling how bright the game is.  Shouldn't affect performance.



    AntiAlias - 2x through 8x - Smooths lines and jagged edges .  Can dramatically affect performance.  Some cards handle it well, others can't.  I have a 256MB NVidia GO 7900 GS that I play with at 8x.  By comparison, my desktop with a 7300 LS can't handle AntiAliasing for crap...



    User Interface Size - 1 through 10.  Scales the size of the UI boxes. Shouldn't affect performance.



    Foliage Density - 1 through 10.  Determines the amount of foliage in outdoor zones.  Can dramatically affect performance.



    If I were you, I'd experiment with Resolution, AntiAlias and UI Size.



    As with all games, I'd recommend that you have as few processes running in the background as possible.  Also, defrag often.  Make sure you have the latest drivers, cleanly installed.



    Lastly, please post your system specs (amount of memory, processor and graphics card).  Post the same information on the official boards, so the devs can see the post.
