Just made level 8.5 last night playing. No lag at all. I have upgraded my Video Card since the first stress test so this time around I was able to crank every dial to max. It ran without a skip at my normal desktop resolution 1280x1024 85hz. There seemed to have been alot of changes since the last stress test. I am thoroughly enjoying it so far, it is indeed everything I had hoped for so far. I died a few times on that quest in the mountains near Senjin Village. I ended up having to walk from Razor Hill back to my body, which sucked. I should have known that quest is tough, most of the monsters were at or above my level at the time. I also found myself scrounging for every penny (copper) I could get as I often found myself running short at training time.
