I scanned ye olde "Processes" tab for anything AMD/Radeon related and proceeded to close them and attempt to restart the client. Alas, there was no effect to be found regarding FPS changes. I made sure any overlay options were already disabled (including 3rd party). I appreciate the suggestion!
The closest settings that the Radeon driver software provides is: Radeon Anti-Lag, which claims to reduce input lag, and Radeon Chill, which is supposed to balance framerate depending on GPU load. There is also a "Frame rate target control" setting in the Global Graphics tab, which I experimented with. In any variation that I tried so far (enabled, disabled, FPS range settings on low or high), there was no noticeable change when entering the game. This processor lacks onboard graphics, so it could only be running off of my current driver or generic. It shows my card ingame though.
Thinking it could be a CPU related issue. I've already tried messing with CPUAFFINITY parameters within eqclient.ini, and manually setting the game to run on one core. But I haven't tried messing with minimum clockspeed or anything of that nature.
If any Radeon/Ryzen users are reading this thread, I would be interested in hearing your experience!
Keep in mind this is exclusive to Project 1999s ingame performance. Other EQEmu servers are still able to run at a consistent framerate. Even the character select screen for P99 servers appears to be fluid and stable. But upon entering the game as any character in any zone I've been in, it devolves into an inconsistent mess. Most noticeable when adjusting the camera or moving the character around. This was also not the case prior to the forced Windows 20H2 update which I can no longer roll back. I don't believe it was a constant 60FPS before, but it definitely was not this bad.

I have been running EQ P99 on a Ryzen 5 2400G integrated Graphics AMD system with 32GB 2666 speed RAM for a long time now, pretty consistently getting upwards of 60 FPS. Just the other day I went to turn on my PC which was turned off for some strange reason, and logged in and come to find that I am stuck at a max FPS of around 40, with a typical amount being 35-38 at times. Nothing changed except I noticed a few windows updates that went through, but it was not the Feature Update 20H2. I tried a lot of things since then. I suspect a smaller patch fix that went through caused this, because I did not have Feature Update 20H2 installed yet, it was downloaded and waiting to install before this happened.
I have tried removing AMD display drivers and installing multiple previous versions, I have tried all the WinEQ settings I can think of, and even closing down WinEQ after every setting change and starting it back up. I have tried Affinity and running through a shortcut to eqgame.exe, with multiple compatibility settings. Always the same mediocre FPS.
I plan on trying to clear out some temp files and if that doesnt cut it, I will try to clean install and beware of Microsoft Windows Updates.
KyotaP99 have you had any luck since we had from you last? Looks like I am in the exact same boat whatever it is
