View Full Version : Massive Melee Text Lag?

Strange, new lag/latency issue for me. I never had this problem before maybe a month ago, but it's starting to really drag things down during raids.

Whenever I'm on a raid, where a lot of melee is going on (and therefore, in my Combat chat, there's a lot of text scrolling), my game slows down to a crawl. When I back away enough out of range that the scrolling text does not appear from melee, the game returns mostly to normal.

Has anyone ever experienced something like this?

To try to combat the issue, I have done away with complex skies, all spell effects, etc, whereas two months ago they were turned up all the way and I had no problems at all.

My computer is an early 2016 MacBook Pro, fully souped up, with Bootcamp running Windows 10.

Not sure how to diagnose this issue.

Side note - I tried going to the forum post linked on the FAQ but the link was broken (https://www.project1999.org/forums/showpost.php?p=834843&postcount=5).

Help?

Bloated/corrupted log files can often cause this - go into your EverQuest\Logs folder and delete or move your logs out so that it generates a fresh file the next time you enter the game.

Change the .org to .com.

I literally did this after the raid last night...and that's about as long as I've been logging heavily. Log file was about 50 MB.

Hopefully this is the fix! Will report back after next raid with findings, in case any others have similar issue. Thanks!
