So, I'm sure a few people are aware. On the EQMAC server, running on a PC using EQW.EXE, the horizontal mouselook is hella slow.

Example: I'm looking around in first person view. If I want to do a 360 going to the right, I right-click and hold, and drag my mouse across my desk to the right about 50 feet (which means I gotta pick up my mouse about 25 times so I can drag it 2 feet to the right again, and again, and again). If I want to look up? I move my mouse about 6 inches up, and I'm looking straight up.

It is known that your framerate is what causes this. In highly populated areas where you have low FPS, it may only take you 5 feet across your desk to do a 360 turn. In areas where you have very high fps, like Field of Bone, during a storm (no visibility), it takes you about 50 feet of dragging your mouse across your desk to do a 360.

In the PC client, they put in a "Max FPS" slider to solve this issue for many. Unfortunately, the EQMAC server never got this patch, hence, they have the issue. Hobart, the dev for EQMAC found the issue for MAC users and fixed it for them. Unfortunately, for those of us playing on EQW.EXE using an Intel PC, this fix doesn't work.

I have found a fix for nVidia users. Right click your desktop, go to the nVidia Control Panel, then to Manage 3D Settings, then find "Maximum Pre-Rendered Frames" and change it from 3 to 2, or 1, or 0. Depending on what works best. I set mine to 1. My laptop has an nVidia card and it fixed it. My mouselook for horizontal and vertical is about the same no matter what my framerate.

I have yet to find a fix for AMD RADEON users. If anyone happens to know something similar, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share. I have tried FPSLimiter 0.2, RadeonPro, and DXTory, but they all don't work. Anyone else know any decent FPS limiters out there or any fixes for RADEON users?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I have tried using the "vsync=TRUE" modifier in the "eqclient.ini" and I have also tried setting "MaxFPS" for Foreground and Background to 30, but I still get 125-500fps in game. It's like the "MaxFPS" in the EQW.ini file doesn't work at all.
