  • Describe the issue you are experiencing: High input latency, FPS drops and desync

I’ve already commented on this issue in a previous thread where there haven’t been any responses from NW support or devs: Massive lag/framerate drop since december 6th patch

As mentioned, by me and several other forum posts and people by now, in that post, these performance issues became consistent and more noticeable after the winter convergence patch. I’ve performed all the basic troubleshooting suggestions that get mentioned by NW support staff on these forums – verifying Steam files (I’ve reinstalled the entire game TWICE), now of my drivers needed any updates since all of them were up to date during and before the patch itself, I only use a wired mouse and wired keyboard, not having any other apps open while playing the game, etc.

There are a couple of issues with the Void Gauntlet. Voidblade has some hit detection issues. I didn’t read in the patch notes that it got the same hit detection treatment as the Hammer/GA did when it comes to the extra pull you get when attacking someone and could really benefit from it. Often times you will use light attacks and if you’re not as close to the person as possible it won’t connect which can feel frustrating at times but it is one of my favourite abilities the Void Gauntlet has. Petrifying scream also will play the sound that the ability hit someone but in actuality, it didn’t and they dodge/run away.

  • Character Name : Sacros
  • Issue that occurred: Can not progress on the quest “Scourge of Aeon Madness” from the Brimstone Quest Chain, the required quest item “Recipe: Imhotep’s Remedy” doesn’t appear in my inventory. Resetting/Verifying files etc. doesn’t solve the problem.
  • Time and Date : Since the 9th of December
  • World/Server: Abaton Barri
  • Location where issue occurred: Brimstone
  • Any steps that can be taken to reproduce the issue: Not 100% sure about this, but I had to reset the quest immediately as I took it, it was showing completed progression on items that I don’t have in my inventory.

I’ve also made a web ticket, but haven’t heard anything constructive or informative back in four days.

Update: I did eventually get an informative response after this post, but there’s still no ETA on a fix. Also transferred from Abaton to Barri.

  1. Recovery after grenade throw is delayed.
  2. Especially when throwing while standing still.
  • (if a bug) How did the issue affect your gameplay:
    Before the recent sticky grenade patch, i was able to throw trap → throw grenade → throw 2nd trap on a target without freedom where the second trap lands on the target before the first trap expires. However, now i cannot do that.

Also, this effect is even worse and noticeable if you try to do this while standing still.
