I'm curious if anyone is running L.O.R.D. II Complete New World
under Synchronet. It plays fine in local mode from the host console,
but when one tries to access it via telnet and the doors menu, it's
dreadfully slow in responding.

The regular local L.O.R.D. (4.06) and L.O.R.D. II (not Complete
New World) games run just fine. But, I like all the IGMs, etc, with
Complete New World.

I'm running Windows 10 32-bit for the BBS. If anyone can offer
some pointers, I'd appreciate it. I know how to set up a door (I
have over 350 online from being online nearly 29 years), but I
can't figure out why the performance in that door lags so bad.

I'm running the JavaScript port of LORD2 on Vertrauen both stock and Complete New World.

I am running the JS versions of lord and lord2 that ship with Synchronet.

I registered both back in the 90's but have long since lost the codes for them.

The regular local L.O.R.D. (4.06) and L.O.R.D. II (not Complete
New World) games run just fine. But, I like all the IGMs, etc, with Complete New World.

There is also a cnw directory inside the lord2 directory. I think that is the complete new world but I'm not sure, I haven't tried it yet.

Rob,

I'm running the JavaScript port of LORD2 on Vertrauen both stock and Complete New World.

but when one tries to access it via telnet and the doors menu, it's dreadfully slow in responding.

I guess the original version (not the JavaScript port) won't work
right. I took a look at that, but none seemed related to my issue. I
guess if folks want CNW, they won't be able to play a "local game",
as it were.

I've run the DOS version as well, without issue.

It's not related to your issue - it's an alternative solution.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Folks are playing LORD2 CNW here on Vertrauen and the JavaScript version works pretty well. It's certainly not going to have any of the performance issues of the DOS version.

I'm running it under Gamesrv, which uses the sync fossil driver. Change your fossil in the lord II setup, as they are severl choices. That's the only issue I had. Works like a charm

The only choices I recall are Internal Comm Routines, Wacky Fossil Driver, and Regular Fossil Driver. It does offer a choice of locked comport speeds. Would that make a difference??

Choose Wacky Fossil, and lock your port to 57600
