Screen "pop" when running and mousing
 
I keep getting this screen Pop when I am running and steering using the mouse. Only when steering with the mouse does this happen. I am running and turning then POP I am facing another direction having turned too far. Any thoughts?

There should be no reason a game this old would cause this many input lag issues for this many different people. Something else is happening here and I think we're gonna need a lot more tin foil.

Seriously, though, you may want to try actually putting a bunch of tin foil between your wifi router and mouse if you are using a wireless mouse and experiencing input lag while playing this game. Other things to try: plugging into your router with an ethernet cable, disabling your wireless antenna/card, trying a wired mouse.

I'm not sure why it seems to happen, but my wireless mouse range is GREATLY IMPACTED while playing p99 and a few select other games that utilize 3d graphics. If I start to experience the lag issue, if I put my mouse RIGHT NEXT to the dongle, the lag seems to be mostly alleviated.

I am starting to think it could be a USB/hub power issue or some sort of software-based conflict with the USB ports.

I have noticed that in Resource Monitor, my Maximum CPU frequency line (the blue line) goes up above 100% pretty consistently when I have the mouse lag issues. Someone in another thread said CPU throttling could be to blame, but my CPU temps aren't getting hot anymore since I put in a cooling tray underneath the laptop.

Alla my stuff is wired. Well I do have wifi set up for the tablets we carry about but our meeces and NICs on our gaming PC's are all wired. Our mice are USB though. Not sure if you are on to something there or not. /shrug

I changed the batch file to limit to one core when running eqgame.exe but that has had no effect on this issue. Not that it was supposed to I just thought I'd give it a try what the heck n stuff.

If someone finds a fix to this, let me know. WinEQ2 maybe helps with this?

This issue is generally a result of lag if it's what i think it is. It's most noticeable when turning and facing in a direction that has a large number of players, mobs, spell effects, or anything generally more taxing than the surrounding area. It "skips" this area because it continues to move despite the brief lag making you essentially turn at sonic speed. Even if the lag is so small that you don't notice the lag itself this can occur.

Again, this is just if it's what i think you're talking about.
