Why do I run so Slow?

Kuja17 · #1 09-13-2012, 10:41 AM

For some reason I'm always slower than any other player.
Also mobs seem to catch me pretty easily.
Im a Wood Elf Druid.

I have sow, not encumbered, run/walk is right.

Any suggestions?

I see two other reasons for running slowly :
Either you have a crappy internet connection, either you have low agility.

laptop, multicore, frame rate issues?

I run faster on my laptop when its plugged into a wall socket. The framerate drops dramatically when on battery for some reason.

Power management is downscaling your video card to save battery. Change your power management settings to alleviate.

Pretty sure it's a multi-core issue. There is something you can download that will make EQ run on a single core, can't remember what it's called though. Also helps with the crashing while zoning issue if I remember correctly. I'm sure someone knows what I'm talking about.

Thank you everyone, this def sounds like what im dealing with. Ill try this tonight and post an update

The program I'm talking about can be found in the Duxa all in one package. You can actually uncheck everything and just download the multi core fix I believe.

kudos to you people who play on laptops. I can't do it. I got to have my big monitor staring me in the face haha

Would be awesome to take EQ with you wherever you went though.

Hey i had this same issue when i first started on P99 all you have to do is reduce your FPS down to 50 in the options as back than that was the highest the game could register anything over that slows your movement not sure why.

Hope this helps
