Hello, I have a big shop with a lot of boxes. When I enter the shop I can move around and let the camera turn in all directions to look around without any problem. But after a few minutes I get stuck, whenever I try to move myself or the camera my HD goes crazy and it takes ages before this ends. Everything goes very slow, also opening the friends list for example.The only thing I can do is relog so I have another couple of minutes to do things in the store. (as I need to rearrange the store i'm relogging every 5 min now) Also when I quit the game to relog in this case, my HD keeps on scratching for minutes. Can anyone explain me what is happening here and what can be done about it? ty

Have you tried clearing your cache? Works for me..

What are the specs on your computer? CPU, RAM, Video Card, Video RAM
Another possibility is that you don't have enough RAM. A thrashing hard disk could be an indication that there wasn't enough RAM to hold everything and Windows is having to store things on disk using virtual memory.

yeah that ^
Sounds like you're low on RAM. The minimum requirements are 512 but don't bet on it. I used 512 for awhile and was always locking up similar to what you are describing

I have the same problem after last update. Game freezes for a few seconds. Clear cache didn't help. I'm in a total lag free area. Makes no difference. Firewall off. Have not made any changes to PC lately. Must be update. Game pretty much unplayable right now.

CPU 2.8 Ghz, 1GB RAM, don't know where I can see Video card information.. But clearing the cache seemed to have solved the problem, thank you very much!
