the same thing happens with or without BnSBuddy. ( i only first tried using BnSBuddy in an attempt to resolve the issue. ) i can completely format/wipe my system and all drives and download fresh the game through NCLauncher2 and the issue is still there without ever touching anything else. and that is on a completely fresh system... the only thing having been done was blocking Windows Updates, install latest GPU drivers from Nvidia, install NCLauncher2 and game. again, i have tried this multiple ways... with and without Windows Update... different driver versions and such, from Windows and from official sources... well, i have seriously re-installed Windows more times in the past 2~3 weeks than i ever have previously throughout my entire life. no joke!
well... i am out of options. there is clearly something wrong with the game(s). i don't know what the developers or games could have in common, but they did something the same or similar and the game(s) is having the issue because of it.
i can tell you this...
i dug out my old laptop and it too has the same issue with both games.
further more...
i took my PC over to a friends house and having the same exact issue. plus he has THREE different computers, and the issue is there on them all. he also has two different ISP's... a landline and a satellite provider. between all his computers and using different ISP's, the issue is STILL there. i use Spectrum for my landline and he uses Cincinnati Bell. so, that is fiber vs cable and issue is still there. ( and again, i have also tried things like ExitLag and ProtonVPN ) i forget what he said his satellite provider is. ALSO, he has a machine that runs Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and still the issue is there.
FURTHER MORE...
i have also downloaded the TW client and connected to the TW server... yup, you guessed it... still the same issue.
the only similarities between Blade & Soul and BLESS Online i can see is that they are both MMORPG's and are made with Unreal Engine 3. however, between 3 different ISP's and atleast 5 different PC's, the issue is still persistent. and at the same time, i am unable to reproduce the issue while playing Unreal Tournament 3. UT3 is Unreal Engine 3 too. i also can't reproduce in UT3 while playing online matches.
i can only conclude there is something wrong with the game(s). i personally don't understand it... it should be impossible. i know other people don't have the issue, but why me? am i just cursed? again... 3 different ISP's and at least 5 different PC's of different configurations... i just don't understand it. it makes ZERO sense.
i guess the only thing to do is hope the Unreal Engine 4 update fixes this. FML, just FML.
