I have the same problem. Basically, it's caused by this: when you press the console button, it automatically adds the ` symbol (which is the same button you use for console), but like in normal text processing programs like Word, the symbol doesn't show immediately (so you can make letters like è, à, etc, by combining them with other letters). The only way around this, that I know of, is to open the console, then type a letter, then move the cursor to the left of the letter, and press Backspace. This will delete the invisible ` symbol, and will allow you to type normally for as long as the console is open.

There's undoubtedly a simpler solution, but I haven't bothered to look around yet. Probably something to do with the bind configurations or something.

Well, the only thing i could tell you that it "might" be a keyboard problem.. Not your keyboard itself, but the language settings. Also screwed up with my console last time. But i'm not sure though.

Try pressing the console button (so it opens) and e, then you can type to your heart's content. At least that's how it works for me.

Or you could try to set the console to open when you press F6

Thats how i have it. Open the file config.cfg in your ESF dir and look for the open console command(dont know the exact name but the button assigned to it is ¸)

Than just type F6 instead of the ¸ and it should work XD

Spyware perhaps?

From my experience the only thing that can lag a LAN game is either spyware. Or a game thats way to good for the computer its played on. But since it only lags evry couple of minutes i bet on a program in the background (addware, spyware) you choose.

check your esf folder for massive screenshots,

I have the same thing, but I don't have any spyware. Just a crappy PC. For some reason the computer likes to use a huge amount of CPU randomly when I'm playing in game. But things that might effect this is MSN, and other programs that you have open.

Do remember that the huge forest map was removed for a reason >.>

It was to buggy so they removed it. If you install a patch it removes the map.
Why?
It was to buggy ^^


So basicly the map has that bug not ESF ^^

I thought this only happened to me anyway you may remember installing a BY-language or Bi-lingual keyboard if you do get rid of it. If you dont remember look in the bottem right corner of your computer screen or your menu bar if it says ES right click that icon and get rid of it. and believe its not a problem with anything about your connection or game. PM me for more info if these thingds dont work.
