I agree a second Portal would be ideal. You are correct that it's an obvious answer that should have been done ages ago rather than complaining. I'll do it tonight!
Some times... the most obvious and easiest solutions are the ones that get tried last... We are just stupid
I can most likely come on and make another attempt...depends on whether or not MyrddinE has already found a solution. Sorry for not being "that active" - far too many finals to take.
Guys, use Advanced OpenGL in settings. It prevents rendering of object that are out of view. This solved 90% of my lag issues at OB.
I should have posted this last night, but: Diamond Emerald is the new portal, a few chunks away from the laggiest parts of the base, just north of the larger wand charging station. Emerald Diamond is the old portal, in the processing facility. I did not know how to re-wire the portal breaker timer, so I didn't.
Well the portal is finally fixed ("/me made it look all fancy 'n' stuff"). Please use the "Diamond Emerald" portal to get TO Openbase and the "Emerald Diamond" portal to go FROM Openbase. This will help avoid further crashes.
