I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this. I'm sure they have, but I'm not about to read 11 pages or whatever to figure it out. If you have dual core affinity issues and don't want to download a bunch of junk, here's what I do:
Step 1: If you go to your task manager (typically ctrl+alt+delete), go to processes, and locate eqgame.exe. Obviously, the game has to be open. If I were you, I would do this either at the login screen or the server list. Doing it while logged in or at your character select screen does not always work out.
Step 2: Now, right click eqgame.exe and select the option on the drop down menu to Set Affinity.
Step 3: You should see two boxes checked. I usually uncheck the first one with the "0" but I doubt it matters.
**NOTE** If your computer will not grant you access to do this, go to your start menu. Select the Run option.
Type in cmd.exe
Hit Enter.
Now type: ntsd -c qd taskmgr
Hit Enter.
Voila.. Task manager opens and you have admin access to screw around with your affinities until you close the task manager window.
Annoying, yeah.. I know. But if nothing else works, it's worth a shot.
