Hi there,
After my pc died which was running only a single core CPU, I had to dig out my laptop and reformat it. I copied across the EQ I was running from my old pc from the external HD I use and all of the files etc copied across nicely.
After a few hours of use I noticed a couple of new problems. My client seems to make my character speed up and then suddenly slow down, this is random periods of time and sometimes I move slowly for up to 5 minutes solid. I noticed the issue seems to be worse when near a hill, tree, house etc and works fairly nicely on flat land but still issues even on flat land.
Here is a list of things I have tried to remedy this problem:
- Set affinity CPU 0 & then also CPU 1 ~ This works semi Ok... atleast it prevents it from happening as frequent.
- Set High Priority on task manager ~ seems to have no effect.
- Set power options to High Performance ~ Again seems to do diddly squat.
- Run as administrator ~ doesn't seem to affect.
- Run Duxa's installer to fix CPU issues ~ It feels like this actually made it worse... not 100% sure why.
- Disable Aero as suggested in Duxa's thread ~ This also had no effect.
- Run WinEQ 2.0 ~ Meh, It seems to have made my resolution look a bit better but not helping the sluggish speeds.
I did restart several times inbetween changing all these things and still I'm moving like a slug on a salt trail.
If anyone has any further suggestions I would like to hear what worked for you and if possible a little bit of help to do so.
Thanks in advance,
Urb.
