Lag (why me?)

I love that the game is busy, but whenever there's a peak time this latest test I've found that the lag is so bad its impossible to play. If you can't interact with thinsg in the inventory or signposts or even shrines and vendors, about all you can do is learn skills and use auctions. Is there any way at all of overcoming this? I've just had to give up for the night (I'm in the UK) again. I've tried the usual closing browser, reloading etc, cleared cache, anything i can think of. I assume its simply a case of so many players in the game the server at Tiny Speck's end is struggling? If so, then I hope maybe someday we'll get that sorted. Oh well, meanwhile I'll go play FB games for 1/2 hour until I've finished this latest skill, then set another to learn ;O

  • I play glitch on 2 different computers. I don't have the specs in front of me, but one is rather slow and glitch is horribly laggy on that computer. One is fairly new and fast and glitch is not really laggy even when I'm on a street with other players around. 

    So, your computer might also have something to do with it.

  • I did that first test when I had trouble. kevbob suggested it and I now have the debugger version, so thats not it. I usually use IE which doesn't seem to have had as many problems as other browsers like Chrome. Funny, its been fine all day. Then I was AFK for about 15-20 mins just now, came back and the lag has reappeared. I think its just the way lag is - seems to randomly affect people at different times. I know earlier in the test one or two others complained of lag when I was playing ok. Think I'll just blame the bad joo-joos! Its nearly time to call it a night anyway! At least I had a good few hours of glitching to make me feel good :)
