No change from before:
Launch = good.
Login = good.
Server Select = good.
Character Select = good.
Initial Zone load = good, but CPU usage starts going crazy, 24-70% on all cores of the i7
Secondary Zone load = lengthy, wifi on computer crashes - if using ethernet, CPU usage continues to escalate.
Fans kick in like a jet landing - I chicken out and /quit.
If I attempt to zone a 3rd time, black screen crash.
Things I've tried:
I:
Bootcamp+Win7U - no change.
Bootcamp+Win7U+run as admin - no change.
Bootcamp+Win7U+shortcut with start/affinity/low - no change.
Bootcamp+Win7U+moved out of Program Files and to Users/ - no change.
II:
WinEQ2 Lite + I - no change.
III:
VM Fusion + I - no change.
VM Fusion + II - no change.
IV:
VM Fusion constrained to 1 CPU - no change (all cores tach out in underlying OSX).
VM Fusion constrained to 1 CPU + I - same as above.
VM Fusion constrained to 1 CPU + II - same as above.
V:
DX9c - no change.
DX9c + I-IV - no change, no change, no change, no change.
Going to try to make an XP VM next if I can find an SP2 disc, but I've got no reason to think it'll work any better~
So, anyhow - if there are any other suggestions, I'm open - if not, what's the ideal computer to play P1999 on? I've got to believe just buying a $300 laptop from BestBuy would be better than fighting this ><
