Choppy after 15min

[slouth]

First off Thank you to everyone who has had a hand in the project, I almost had a tear in my eye when I loaded this up for the first time on the weekend. The music, acutally seeing people in Kelethin, OMG it was so exciting...

I started EQ, about 1 month prior to Kunark and played on and off till sometime during PoP. I had a 65 Shaman, and 65 Rogue.

My basic problem... I created a ranger just to do some exploring around Gfay. And after 15min or so I get super choppy/laggy. Im not sure but I think it might be a result of the multi core processor, I tried the run in 95 mode, Game would give me an exception error loading, I then tried dropping it to 1 core through msconfig, and it gets choppy still, and thoughts ?

Amd X4 9150 processor
8gig ram
Vista Prem
built in Video card (lol whens the last time I could play a come with built vid)

Once again thank you all, and I'm so excited to play, although i might have to make a shaman or druid for the soloing ablitiy !!!!

If you think its Multi-Core issues try WinEQ2.

If you are experiencing issues with rapid movement, or very slow movement / frame rate, double durations, crashing, etc, try running EQ under WinEQ2, Found at Http://www.lavishsoft.com.

I'm guessing you're playing on a laptop? If so what kind of GPU does it have and how well ventilated is your laptop when you play and how hot does it get? Unlikely with newer computers but if its kind of old your GPU could just be getting too hot.

No this is on an HP desktop.

I have the same issue, it cuts in and out. That usually fixes my problem temporarily is minimizing the screen then maximizing it.
