This is on a MAC with Virtual Machine of Win XP?
Is this with a Macbook Pro or? M.2 SSD Slot?
I can only guess but it seems a Memory issue, be it virtual memory or ram or hard-drive/ssd/m.2 as in it isn't "loading" things properly, from storing it into your memory ram and accessing it again through your ssd/hdd.
If its a Mac, they are weird in that it is more of a Image memory than a Disc memory in how things load. There are differences there so maybe the hardware was upgrades or the software has been tweaked which I know it has. The game has Ambient Occlusion now which I have don't remember being in P99, but maybe I was just oblivious to it.
So maybe it could be a graphical issue, maybe your onboard video got a update that broke how P99 works on that hardware through some sort of optimization they pushed on your hardware.. upgrade or downgrade of your graphics drivers might work maybe?
Just grasping at straws without some specs, logs etc but it sounds like it isn't loading the big ass .OBJ that is the zone, no games really do things that way anymore maybe the hardware optimized itself to make that kind of thing obsolete as now adays things are done with a terrain then the building objects are placed in, but in EQ the whole zone (Qeynos for example) is just one large Object file, but it is loading the Actors and smaller object files, even maybe the collision for the Zone itself? Seems a memory issue..
Also, Have you tried a different Virtual Machine software?
