Slow motion movement - not an affinity issue and it's driving me insane!!

[aggresor223]

sure does sound odd...also sounds like the duel core bug..I don't see how everquest could bog down even the worst of working computers now adays. Have you Uninstalled eqplaynice? and tryed running it without it on your system? This is the only game it does it on? and if so...Have you watched your resource manager while everquest is running to see what your computer is using as far as disc,ram,cpu? Have any other programs running in the background you don't know of? when was the last time you did a defrag? how old is the harddrive..could it be going out? or even your ram..could the ram be going bad? Try taking out a stick of ram then testing the other solo. is the "priority of the affinity" set to the right number? (not low) are you sure the SLI is not affecting it? ( i see you state you only use one card, but by turning the other off could there be complications?

Pritty sure it isn't drivers. How about the C++ updates? Sorry for randomness, just trying to toss out everything I can think of. It is not a matter of if your computer can run it (because it could probly run 5 instances with no lag) but something is just not meshing right, there has to be conflicts going on somewhere.


*edit* Does your whole computer Bog down while running eq or is it just the eq instance? or can you alt+tab out or open browser with no problems?

Pretty nice info in there aggressor, I'll take a closer look tomorrow. I will add though, that I've checked resources and everything, and my laptop is laughing at EQ when it's running. CPU runs at like 1% and 20%ish ram. I can alt-tab, internets, run other games, do anything I want just fine. I can also chat in-game with no issues while the slow motion is happening. The only lag is visual lag, but it's not normal visual lag like a low FPS-type thing (hard to explain).
