Weird thing happening
I have a thing that is happening when I play p1999. Often when I am playing there is a pause in the game, sometimes coinciding with a noise as if the disk drive is being used, then a few seconds later the game kicks in again. Its not when I'm just sitting there, but when I'm actively fighting something, or like last night when I leveled. It is enough to make some soloing with my necromancer pretty dicey.
Any advice as to fix this? I'm not running from a DVD rom or anything like that, and it doesnt happen when I am playing on my second laptop (a macbook air) | ||

An alternative if you don't want to buy a new HD would be to use something like RAMDisk.

Whenever someone logs in or travels to the zone you're in, the game hiccups as it loads that information. Running EQ on a SSD seems to be the only way to mitigate this hiccup.

This was happening to me for like 2 weeks and just went away, been playn on same laptop for 7 years. The screen pauses, skips and puter makes a odd noise.
It fixed itself , I thought my puter was getting fried.
