Massive lag

[Hayward Family]

For me, WolfQuest is completely unplayable. It's like watching a movie at 0.5 speed. Please try to sort this out... I love WolfQuest, and it's sad not to be able to play it whatsoever.

Hi there! Sorry you're having trouble.

If you haven't already, check out the pinned "Having Problems? Look Here First!" Thread that is pinned in Early Access Discussion. It has things to try that may assist you.

I did look there, but it didn't help at all.
The weird thing is, this computer has always run WolfQuest PERFECTLY without the slightest problem. Now, I've had to turn graphics down from Stupendous to Beautiful, and it's still running in slow motion, freezing, skipping, the whole lot. It started a couple days ago. All of my other games are working perfectly... it's odd.

There hasn't been a change to Wolfquest at all so the issue is probably on your end. Have you checked that the right graphics card is running the game (sometimes the computer will decide to change this)? Also check if your graphics card has an update available, I know I will have issues anytime mine needs to be updated.

Also check your computer isn't overheating, give the inside a clean and make sure you've got a good airflow.

Seconding Anthracite's suggestion. Usually if everything was running smoothly and suddenly there is a change with the game performance, it's usually one of these things:

1. Dust and the like have built up in the system's fans. Time for a cleaning of them.

2. The computer has been left on for far too long. Sometimes the solution truly is turn it off then turn it back on (or turn it off for a bit and come back later).

3. There's been a driver update or two and the computer is getting a little "weh" about it.

4. Some other drivers are outdated and need attention (I use drivebooster to track those).

5. Disk cleanup of junk files/disk defrag hasn't been run for a while, so a fair amount of clutter has built up on the computer.

I'll try some of them.

It's so confusing though... everything working perfectly... then the day the holidays start, the computer decided to take a holiday too! It's an odd situation... I hope that I can get back to my wolves soon.

Just to clarify, it won't be the graphics card or anything like that because it's a proper gaming computer and runs fames with much higher graphics such as Planet Zoo and AWAY: The survival series. The weird thing though... they all run fine. Every one of them. So... I'm still a bit confused, and I don't think that it could be the computer. But I will try your suggestions anyway.

Thank you!

I shut down the computer overnight, and now everything is running a bit better. It's still randomly skipping and randomly freezing, but it's a bit better than before.

You can change your graphics settings if it's high, so you will have more FPS. Wolfquest is also really hard to play if you're on a Laptop.

I tried that when it happened, but it didn't change anything.

My computer can handle graphics really well - useful, when running WolfQuest!

But it's mostly working now, what with shutting down the computer overnight :)

I am so jealous you can run beautiful haha! in all serious I am also having a lot of lag recently, but my computer is old and never could run it well anyway, so probably not a related issue.

Yes... I'm very blessed to have such a good computer! My computer has started running smoothly again, so I'm back to stupendous quality.

I,ve been playing wolfquest for 3 years and I never had anything like this, I was playing wolfquest and all the sudden everything started to lag very bad but it wasn’t the kind of lag where everything stops playing I still heard howls while I lagged and I kept getting a login for achievement or bug report error, it also only stopped lagging a little after I turned off and on my wifi or a issue there working on in wolfquest but I’m had this for a month now and nothing seems to change from this day, please let me know if it’s my WiFi, if it’s not please fix this as soon as possible if can, this is now giving me a struggle because I have no idea what’s causing it.

You on Nvidia graphics? Because if you are I know exactly what the problem is...
