V-box

[fleyer]

heya all, here i am asking for some help :

i downloaded virtualbox, i created a virtual machine then i installed a pirated version of windows xp SP3, all went nice, i downloaded latest version of archlord client, and i installed it with no problem. but the thing is that now when i launch game via webzen website, the client appears but it stays on "connecting" and doesnt downloads anything. i added alefclient.exe in webzen folder in my program files to windows firewall exceptions and i relogged the virtual machine. i don't have any antivirus program maybe it comes from it? or maybe there is something wrong in what i did or i didnt do something? or virtual box just doesnt wants me to play al ^^ ?

well thx in advance for the help you will give me,
Fleyer

why you even want to play a game on a virtualmachine?

[fleyer]

thats a try : i wanna lauch game on a virtual machine to see if i can play AL on virtual machine + AL on main computer, both without having lag, cause launching 2x clients makes me lagging like hell ... it is only to have a char to buff my main wihout lagging, or with less lags i think it would work if i can lauch game on the virtual machine ... but well the problem is the same, can i play AL on Virtualbox machine or no? if yes, how?

I think, Vbox eats extra memory, so it will have more lag.

Vbox eats all extra memory , so its like you got prety low RAM for even 1 client :P.
Thank me if helped

[fleyer]

so what i need to lauch 2x clients is more ram?

What i would suggest doing is this... First increase your virtual ram and since vbox is going to be your buff not your main set the affinity on the virtual box to 1 processor and set priority to low. This is just what i would do in a situation like that. You set priority and affinity through the Ctrl+Alt+Delete Task manager

Change your computer... And as Botpet said, you will have more lag with a virtual PC!!!

This isnt 100% true as i run vbox and vmware along with my main os and all 3 run archlord and i run with only 4 gig of ram. The only thing i find annoying is archlord has memory leaks

The same thing happens to me too some times...the client will stay on "Connecting" and the bars won't load.. but then i end the process (Task manager) and open it again.. and will work...

I got 512MB RAM , 3,2Ghz , 1 or 2mb/s interner(thats about 128-256kb/s) and i barely got lagg in-game

Why not change one of the clients priority and affinity? You can check with Process Hacker 2 () which client was started later.

Just do this:
Smash your computer and throw it out the window.
Buy a new gaming computer and install Al. Now open 10000 clients wthout lagg.
Thank if helped
