Multi/Dual/Quad-Core Issues

[Bhutt]

I never had problems when I first started on here, but I took a bit of a break for the past 9 or so months and now I can't run this SoB on my laptop very well.

I'm having the "working fine...slow motion for ten seconds...working fine....slow motion for ten seconds" issue. AMD Dual Core with Vista. I've used the affinity, the cmd affinity....none of that works.

Any ideas?

are you using high resolution textures for zones? if so, that could be your issue. On my laptop i used them, had same behavior you descibed.. didnt happen all the time.. but when i removed them, issue went away.

No, that was one of the first things I tried....turning down all the particles and the like. Last night I decided to download the AMD Optimizer, which took care of the normal/lag momentum but now I have mobs and PC's "gliding" on me and corpses standing straight up.

people have told me my installer (see my signature) has solved the gliding/standing up corpses issue for them...

I had the multicore issue for a while and tried many of the fixes online to no avail.
What worked for me is to run eq using an XP vm with 1 processor and 1G of RAM. I am loading EQ from a shared folder and it runs perfectly now.

Try it out - you may be surprised

I had the slow movement problem when I first started but using win eq fixed everything.

Then today I had to do a system restore to a few weeks ago, now eq runs slow constantly. Its like a flipbook.

I've tried everything in this thread [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I dont get it.. it used to work and now no matter what I do its slow.

big fat fail
