Hi. I really like this game but recently the game stops to load basically all the time.

If I run for just 20-30 seconds there's a loading screen.

Most of the times it just loads for less then a second, so that's no real problem, the problem is that it sometimes loads for 10-20 seconds when I'm in combat!

Now, if I've engaged the combat its no real problem, I usually take out the monster with auto attack, but if the loading start, and the creature attack me, then I just stand there and take hits.

This has killed me twice.

Is there any way to up the memory usage of the game so that I have fewer, longer loads? So that when I enter a new area I load for a fair amount of time but don't have to load for every step I take after that?

This problem started when I reduced the quality of the video in the game (to try to reduce lag and load) and as it reduced the lag it increased the loads.

So, I upped the quality and this increased lag but I still had the high amounts of loads.

Is there any way to fix this?

I have heard suggested you set the quality to "low" in the Options Menu (F10), then increase the View Distance to about 1/2 way.  This should decrease loading screens and lag.

hit F10 and turn ONLY the terrain distance up to half or more.. 

adjust everything else so the fps dont suffer too much

the terrain distance is i effect a buffer, the higher its set the more terrain will be pre-loaded into you memory. if its set too low it will constantly have to load ...

Thanks a ton guys! It worked : )
