I'm playing the official Indonesian version of Lineage II (or to be
exact, "I was", because I've had enough with inconsistent promises of
the GMs. helped them for more than 2 years collecting player
violations, and they turned me down for not punish players who broke
the rules more than half a year).
I have a 945GM laptop, and I also have "The game may not be consistant
because AGP is deactivated, Please activate AGP for consistancy."
message everytime I start playing.
it's not the game's fault. it's more likely because of our built-in
chipset. and of course you have to either click OK or close the
message to begin playing. in short, "just accept the message".
for the video lagging problem:
- try to use smaller resolution available (if playing in fullscreen
mode)
- or put a custom window size via Option.ini (if playing in windowed
mode. mine was GamePlayViewportX=936 and GamePlayViewportY=702... at
least that size is enough for me, still retain 4:3 ratio. don't know
if it's affect the game, but I like exact ratio ^^')
- I'm one of the "care less of eyecandy" person type when playing
(except I want to do a really good screenshot), so I put almost all
the graphic section in low quality, uncheck Ground, uncheck Shadow,
etc (...well, maybe except NPC Range on maximum because I need full
target location visibility, and Terrain Range on Nedium or Near,
enough to understand my surroundings... once again, it's my
preference).
- uncheck the GPU Animation. I got 1-3 FPS reduced if I checked it on
my 945GM.
- check Decrease Background Performance.
uncheck it if you can play more than one window (I play 2 windows
usually) + all of them is active (hunting, walking, etc).
if you also have more than 2 CPU cores, then put different CPU
affinity on each window (very useful in reducing critical error).
if you play more than one window, but only one is active (the others
are busy vending items), then you don't need to uncheck the option and
do the affinity.
- use software TnL mode in registry for l2.bin. helps get rid of bad
lighting effects

this is registry value 0
http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad255/polisi_lineage2/one.jpg =>
this is registry value 1 (actually, any value that's not zero, for
this game.. but just use value 1 for simple)
- the other settings are in l2.ini, but it's encrypted. even though I
know how to modify it, I won't tell because it's against the game's
EULA (don't worry about not be able to modify it. it won't give you
high FPS boost unless you make the settings so low until your char and
its surroundings just look like polygons, and you're okay with that,
seeing only polygons in the game ^_^').
