What are your system specs. Ram, CPU, Vido card. Those all have an effect on going LD. What OS also. Basically, if you dont have much in the way of ram and cpu power your system eventually runs out of spacce and the processor takes longer and longer to process the command to send the data to the server and to recognize it receit, as you eventually run out of ram to store the backed up que and data objects that need to be stored in memory. Therefore the client is no longer receivving messages from the server and you have gone LD. I have XP Pro, 512 DDR, Athlon XP 1700 @ 1.4 Ghz and an FX5200 and run CATA client. I tend to go LD every few hours in a battle group because the number of people and data that needs to get processed builds up.
