Can *ANYBODY* actually 12-table at Party without CPU lag?

Changed my color bit and I can feel the difference already.

Yep, overall it feels like it's running 10x better for me.

I should also add, but I'm not sure if it's related, is that when I turned on 16bit colour AllSnap also stopped working, so it might also be worth trying to disable it too.

Right click your desktop, then select "Properties". Then goto the "Appearance" tab and select "Effects", then turn off font smoothing. Then click the "Settings" tab and select 16bit "colour quality" for all your monitors.

I just tried toggling font smoothing and visually I can see a difference. It will be interesting to see if this helps.

I tried turning off font smoothing and switched to 16bit color but the client is still annoyingly slow, hope they fix this soon.

At first I didn't have any problems at all but the last few days even 6 tabling is starting to become badly lagging.

What do u guys mean when u say "laggy"? Because Party has been TERRIBLE for me since about mid-March, but i wouldn't call it "laggy" >> more like "crashy". It freezes ALL the time and i have to ctrl-alt-del kill the party process and re-open it and hope that my hand hasn't been folded.

I made another post about this awhile back, but basically, it just stops responding and i get the "internet delay...attempting to reconnect" dialog, but it NEVER reconnects...so as soon as I see it doing that, i just kill the process and restart it.

For me, it doesn't necessarily get worse when i have more tables open (e.g. sometimes it crashes with a SINGLE table open...) but i do think it has something to do with the lobby window, b/c it crashes a ton when the lobby window pops up (usually b/c i close a table, so the lobby automatically pops up)...or alternatively, i might pull up the lobby to find another table, and boom -- freezes.
