I discovered a major DMFI Voice.exe script bug in earlier versions that caused the DMFI tools to take up a huge amount of CPU, especially in HotU when there are many NPCs or creatures about.

Now that the DMFI bug is fixed, game performance is much better all around, so I can breathe a sigh of relief about server issues.

Last night no one has so far reported server lag problems, though as usual, with my graphics card, I experienced major slowdowns in combat.

The tool that had led to the discovery of the bug and helped me optimize my mods is the APS/NWX2 Profiler. If you install APS/NWNX 2, this optional tool can log running scripts, which has helped me figure out which ones to cut and to cache to improve game performance.

In addition, everyone should install Jasperre's SendForHelp() fix to correct a major lag causing bug with mind-affecting spells. This fix is available as a seperate .erf with his latest AI and can be installed without the AI itself.
