I don't know, in computer-geek-speak what the terminology is, but it *seems* to do exactly what the name implies:

/flushGraphicsResources fullReset

flushes out the graphics built up on your client and does a full reset of the graphics, clearing your system of graphics overload.

Some people recommend running it every few minutes and have set up a mini-macro to run all the time like this:

/flushGraphicsResources fullReset;

/pause 600; (pause for 10 minutes)

/macro (macroname)

but to me this wouldn't work, as if you ran any other macros during that time and typed /dump to get rid of them, it would also dump this macro.

So I just made an Alias named crap, like this:

/alias crap /flushGraphicsResources fullReset

and all I have to do is type /crap to start it out...... I do it when entering heavy graphics-smothered areas, like Coronet starport SuperSpamville.

Alias are the most under-advertised and useful things to me..... doesn't bog down your macro list, which can get quite extensive and hard to pick one out of.

How will I know if this actuallydoes something? I mean will my game pause or something while It works on this or what? Because I tried it and nothing seemed to happen.

I use this all the time and have never noticed my machinge "freezing" at all. I have noticed that when I get in graphics intinsive areas such as the Geo cave or the DWB and use this when I first lag it seems to take care of the lag.

So you're saying if I name a macro with /alias to start, I can type that command at any time instead of /mac [name]?

Example:

macro name: /alias dis

context: /forceCureDisease

And I could type /dis at any time to use this? I ask because I'm a fast typer and this would be quicker than the Alt+D keystroke I use.
