Alright, so when the TCGO program finally came in the form of the downloadable client, there were bugs. However, the client itself ran pretty well for the most part.
It seems like with each successive addition of a new set, the program gets more and more laggy, now waiting upwards of a whole minute just to load up trading, the store, or even go back to play now. This is all besides the heap error that plagues it, causing the program to crash after using it for around a half an hour, which I can imagine is the reason the lag gets worse and worse until that happens as you play.
I have a 2 year old laptop with 2 cores, 4 GB of ram, a 10 GB paging file, and 4 GB Memory Boost (ala Windows 7). My graphics processor is an AMD M880 with ATI mobility Radeon HD 4200. I have all my settings set for performance over quaility.
Now, Im not a tech nerd by any stretch of the word, but with my laptop being decently newer, I do not think there should be a wait of 2-3 minutes just for the program to load up after retrieving my collection aka the whole program screen pops up, but I must wait for my daily rewards screen to load the icons. And I should definitely not be waiting a minute or more in between switching tabs.
Could the lag perhaps not be my computer? Could it possibly be that with every new set, we get alot of new players within the program, and that the servers being loaded up is the issue? Do the game servers need to be upgraded? I have talked to a handful of people that have next to no lag from the program at all, until the error occurs, quite similarly to myself when the program was fresh out the gate.
I guess this is sort of rambling, but Id like others to weigh in on this, and perhaps Mike from the TCGO could drop in to put in his two cents. Or rather I would love it if he did, since generic responses on TCGOs forums usually say "install, reinstall etc etc", but a program shouldnt need this just to fix a lag problem, right?
