Slow loading?, Buggy Options

[AWinterFuneral]

I played Dransik and Ashen Empires maybe like 7-8 years ago. I recently got back into the game and began playing. I noticed that this weird lightning logo keeps popping up every few seconds and stops me from moving. I don't know if it's the game trying to load or what. I remember the game being much more fluid back in the day, now it seems to be bogged down with that stupid lightning loading thing preventing me from moving/acting every few seconds. Is there a way to fix this? Does anyone else have this problem?

If you see the lightning in upper corner that means the game is trying to download files as you play. Log out to first page and hit your Patch button on the lower left hand side of the screen. This should update all the files for you. If you still find its laggy when in game or you are experiencing alot of disconnects then log out and on first screen where you sign in hit the Options button then Force Sync button. This will further adjust the files specifically to your needs.

If you need further assistance please page a GM in game. Thank you.
