Lag starting with most recent patch

[roks1]

I haven't played since the mandatory inclusion because any area with more than like 15 ppl and lightsources is like 10 fps -- where it was butter smooth on even the abnormal raids (say 80 / 90... not AOW zergs). hopefully my "trick" lets some people play the game at a normal fps, heaven forbid you can see better than "classic" but your fps is somehow worse

dynamic lighting to the gas chambers.

Wow! It's 2021 now and I'm just finding this thread as I return to the game after a year long break. I have a freakin RTX 3070 + 3900x Ryzen and I can't get more than 40FPS playing EQ P99. I've tried forcing the game to run on just 1/2/4/etc CPU cores. I've forced maximum GPU performance in the control panel to run it constantly @ max clocks etc.

What a shame [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There's still no fix for this issue ..... !?!?

Tried a ton of stuff and nothing worked. Just found a fix.

For those using WinEQ2 -- Check the options for EQPlayNice, there is an FPS limiter setting in Foreground. Turned that up and the game is finally running butter smooth.

Honestly even if it didn't cause lag I just really don't like the way it looks aesthetically. It works great for emulating classic nighttime darkness, but when a lot of lightsources congregate the wall textures get so insanely washed out and bright it looks horrible. Also for some reason most lightsources seem to have this blueish glow, which really screws with how some armor textures look. If you have a strong lightsource and get close to somebody wearing rubi, the rubi looks... orange or something from the blue light.

High Keep is impossible to navigate around without throwing up every 15 seconds.

What have we done to deserve this punishment?

Tried renaming the file and it didn't resolve anything for me.

Any chance on a Rollback to V52 until these issues are sorted? The Lag/DC/Unable to login toons/screen tearing is insane.

I am experiencing lag too, but for me it seems to spike the worst when data is being sent to the game server. Casting does a small spike, having 6 mobs hit me is a lag (even if I'm viewing the floor in 1st person mode). And doing /who all guild takes 4 seconds to work.

It's awful, getting anywhere from 950-3200ms latency and constant packet loss. Tried WinEQ; tried the recommended eqclient renaming; tried editing the dynamic lighting; verified my line with my ISP (extremely solid) - still poor performance and unable to play the game.

[jazzman_so_fresh]

For me, my ping is 75ms even with the spikes.
