Severe lag when too many monsters are on the map.

So, i logged in today to do all the evangelion event dailies and everything was ok, however, when i went to monster park to do asuka's part, i faced some extreme lag, to the point of freezing, luckily i was able to mash repeatedly my hotkeys to clear all the mobs, and when their number was reduced, the lag would wear off, i faced this issue on all the stages of both of my monster park free runs, some time after that i decided to get the repair parts for the evas, and went to vanishing journey, died twice due to lantern erdas, but the thing is I COUDLN'T MOVE AT ALL, unlike monster park where i could still do something, in any of the vanishing journey maps (or any map with monsters) my game would freeze, the only way i could get out (and play a bit more) was to relog, i spawned in the town after that, but no matter how many times i relog, my game still freezes when i go to a map with monsters.

Is there any way to fix this? am i the only one? i didn't had this problem until today after patch.

    Bug type: Lag

    Brief bug summary: Lag issues in mob areas, worsens when using skills

    More details: Playing main char: 207 Mercedes, in the Vanishing Journey maps, some screens are nearly unplayable due to severity of lag. Game doesn't d/c, but can't control char for 4-5 seconds. E.g., char will be using Ishtar's Ring walking left, cannot stop or change direction or use pots until that "cycle" ends. Char lags somewhat in non mob maps, but is playable. Also having lag issues logging in: choosing server and channel takes a good 3-5 minutes, connecting from char select another 3-5 minutes.

    Have tried the full shutdown, changing core priority, and other "fixes," with no luck. Lag is inconsistent, will work fine some days, and horribly later on. Changing quality of graphics makes no difference either.

    (anything not included in the other sections of your report)

    Steps to reproduce: Trying to log in or play the game.

    (if not covered in the summary)

    Character name: SchalaxZeal

    Character level: 207

    Character job: Mercedes

    World name: El Nido

    Date and time of the incident: Ongoing, most recent 1/27/2018 (still a present issue, and has been an issue for months, just keeps getting worse)

    In my case it's the same, I can't play and I don't know what to do I can't do quests involving monsters and this happened after the new patch.

    It seems that it happens when you accept the eva events, i've been playing with a Chief bandit for a while (without accepting those quests) and i have encountered no lag, this however seems to be a problem (for me) since i want the event items from the eva shop for my main. :(

    I have this problem too. And I can confirm that it has nothing to do with the Evagelion event.

    The problem seems to be problem with the Mob2.wz file that doesn't work properly with our computers or it patched improperly, because if you go to lower level maps you'll see that there isn't any problem with them and the mobs. But going to the newer and higher level area your game with lag and eventually freeze if you cannot keep up the mob spawn.

    did you solve it? I mean, in other words, we have no choice but to re-install the game, right?

    Yeah i want to know if there's a fix for it, i actually tried with the "Repair installation" option but it did nothing, i also had lag issues with low level enemies (with my db) but it would wear off in a few secs.

    Theoretically if one of the .wz files didn't install correctly, you could simply delete the offending file and then repair the installation via the launcher.

    I'll try it, because uninstalling and re-installing didn't solve a thing. Thanks a lot for the suggestion though!

    Repair or reinstalling didn't fix it for me either.

    After I accept the event quest: Maplestory X Evangelion i noticed a severe lag that would simply not let me play, where i enter on any map with monsters ...

    I tests with other characters of my account and it only happens with which I have accepted the quest of the current event.

    I try Repair but didn't fix it for me

    It seems that Kryptive's right, it has nothing to do with eva quests, i did monster park on my shadower which hadn't accepted the eva quests, and still noticed an annoying lag there, but elsewhere (at least for now) there was no lag, so far, i've tried deleting both mob files and using the repair tool to get them back, but that did nothing at all.

    Update: Guys, I erased the mob files, re-installed them but it didn't work. I guess the only thing left to do is to uninstall and re-download the game from 0, otherwise, Nexon has to fix this or we are doomed.

    Glad to see i'm not the only one with the lag here, I tried Monster Park and Twilight Perion on my Hero and it gets so bad i can't move, unless i open task manager and close it, it gives me a few seconds of breathing space to move around before it inevitably freezes again :/ I really hope it gets fixed in the patch otherwise i'll never be able to leave towns again in fear of lagging to death.

    Well, this patch did nothing for me, i still lag, and it was not addressed in the patch notes, our only hope is that nexon patches it or someone comes with a fix, my shadower got stuck from the lag at thanatos.

    You can escape by using one of the "Return" skill ("Return to Elluel", "Return to Maple Island".)
    if you had it set up to a key before.

    I prefer to simply die (unless i'm unlucky enough to trigger adv dark sight) since i literally can't do anything, i can barely do hunting related quests and i'm stuck with my db to daily bossing.

    Tried doing eva repair alloys quest at twisted aqua road (there's no lag there) but they never dropped, and in addition, the exp there sucks really bad.

    I also tried Twisted Aqua Road as well and didn't get any drops.
    Didn't get anything from Commerci or Alien PQ either.

    Update: Server went down to unscheduled maintenance, let's hope they fix the lag issues.
