Something isnt right

There might be some issues with all the afinity settings.
I am not running Vista anymore, and EQ runs on a pure WinXP machine now, so it isn't an issue for me anymore

(I have an AMD AM2 4600 cpu) and i had great problems with Live and the free trial client with crashes right after entering, or animations being stalled and char ski'ing at a hillarious fast rate and jumping up to 100 feet at each update. At this point i was using Vista crap

So I got help from SoE and went do some AMD downloads wich didn't do scrap. Then i got the Afinity settings tip, and this did it for the Free Trial Client.

Then upgrading to full version SoF Client it got spiffy, cause the problems was 90% gone, but game still sometimes stalls character animations, wich then requires a zone reload (logout and back in, or just zoning).

Even I set the afinity in the shortcut, or manually change it in the task manager to only core 1 (you set the afinity for the launcher on live, wich then launces eqgame with same afinity)

I still have the same problems with P99 that It sometimes stalls the animations, but then again, in win XP I can't set the afinity no matter you have full admin rights, unless you use some form of hacks or apps that can get around this limitation.

However the latest versions of Live Client seem to have fixed the Dual Core issues

I have the exact same problems as nomura. I am running eq on a intel dual core vista laptop with 4gigs of ddr2 and a GeForce 8400m. I have been running Avira AntiVirus scans in the background for a week or so now. Fixes runspeed, but my framerate drops from 100ish to 30ish. It would be interesting to figure out what is behind all of this. I'd really like a true fix, as I can't play high end with 30fps.

I'm running a dual core AMD and had issues where I would crash randomly or while zoning. Additionally, characters models would freeze completely and it would look like my character was gliding. And also I would move hyper speed for a moment only to slow back down. I was able to fix all of that by installing and running WinEQ 2.1.5 Lite. It's simple. Easy to use. But most importantly, it has resolved all my issues I've had in the past.
