I look forward to the day of running it on my phone. Controls would be a bit odd though lol

Go into eqclient.ini and set the video parameters in the [VideoMode] section to whatever wierdness your laptop is set to. I've run EQ on integrated video and it's fine, orders of magnitude faster than what we ran EQ on back in the day [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] -- Mg

Few options:

Change video res to match your laptop in eqclient.ini file

Right click your shortcut and make sure its running as admin and compatibility xp sp3

Running in Widows 7 compatibility mode fixed the issue.

The game actually runs better than i thought it would ... max res is 1300s/700s.

EC tunnel was slightly laggy before i turned off names, others spell effects and clip plane down.

All in all not bad - computer is cheap in the 100-200 range and really portable. It's a lot more portable than my G73-75 (i forget which) series Asus gaming rig.

Thanks for the help guys! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I can run P99 on a netbook. Amazing really.

Yeah I've run it on a netbook and currently play on an XP machine I built several years ago.

I have a pretty good gaming rig, but for some reason I was plagued with "turn around lag", where when I moved up a hallway, turn a corner the video would lag and skip a half sec. At first it was annoying but it caused a couple of deaths. I tried all the helps, Wineq etc. did nothing for me.

I finally moved EQ to the SSD drive and everything is SILKY smooth now. SO NICE!

SSD is one of the best investments i've made for all gaming purposes ... including this 16 yr old elf sim.

Click OK to terminate the program.

This is usually caused by too large of a resolution set in the eqclient.ini file. Run in WindowedMode and dial the resolution back a bit.

Thread like this should really be in the Technical forum.
