Multi/Dual/Quad-Core Issues

Hello gang,

I'm trying to figure out if my issue is related to Multi-Core before I go ahead with this fix.

The Problem:

I log in to EQ, and make it to the server select screen just fine. Every server is listed. Once I click on any server, including 1999 classic - it will show the loading screen, get about half way on the loading bar and instantly log off. Back to the log in screen I go.

Would this be related? Should I just uninstall, and reinstall?

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Etris

For AMD Athlon x2 and above users, just download and install AMD Dualcore optimizer: http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/dyna...42f&ItemID=153
theres no need to go to the extent of all this.

Hey I have a crappy vista amd dual core processor and was having animation graphic problems
When I ran with sow it was like I was walking and swing a sword... well it was super slow and delayed
Sooooooo this was a really simple fix. Do this. Go to your control panel and go to power control and turn it to high performance this fixxed my issue and I am up n running perfectly was even able to turn
Spell graphics up n what not. N e ways hope this helps . Gl !!

If you're having heat related problems with Titanium, I suggest setting the max frames per second lower. (ALT-O -> display tab)

Just built got a new computer and started running into problems very similar to the ones in this thread. After trying all of the suggestions and not finding a solution, I started to dig a bit more into the hardware and windows operating system to try and understand what was happening.

This error can be described as: Everything is working great and then everything slows down for a while, then everything is great again... rinse and repeat. Depending on the number of things you have going on (overlays, Fraps, shadows, particle effects, high detail) Frame rate fluctuates from 150+ to around 20 frames per second.

Before I get into what I hope is the fix, I can tell you this is not a multi-core, speedstep, or C state issue.

I am fairly certain this has everything to do with the CPU core temperature. There is something on the motherboard, or in the OS that wants to keep my CPU at 37 degrees Celsius. When my cpu is this temp, everything is fantastic. My CPU is running at 3.2ghz and I can turn on every single graphical enhancement in the game with no slowdown. If my cpu goes over 48 degrees Celsius, my cpu clocks back to 2.7ghz and everything slows down until the CPU cools down to 37 degrees. This can take a few seconds or a few minutes. Each speedup or slowdown time period is based how much I am trying to do or not do at any given time.

The "temp" fix: In bios there are a few optional settings under power management. The first one I unchecked was something to do with Fan Speed Control. Once that was unchecked the fan started running full speed. Since I had never heard the fan previously this was sort of a shock, because it kept ramping up until it now sounds like a hair dryer. I started playing the game at this point (trying my best to ignore the fan sound) and everything worked great. No slowdown. But I don't believe this is the fix. What I am doing is overriding the system that would slow down the CPU because it never reaches the temperature that would cause the slowdown.

The real fix: Is still unknown to me. I am now looking into the Intel MEBX system and chipset drivers that are installed in Windows 7. If you have a Dell PC, you can get into the MEBX configuration by pressing <ctrl>+<p> when you see the Dell logo at boot. There is a place to disable this system which will be my next thing to test tonight.

Sorry for the wall of text.
tl;dr -- Your problem may not be a multi-core issue.

I've had this slowdown problem for a while now with none of the fixes working. I couldn't disable speedstep in bios so I went looking for a throttling program. Downloaded Throttlestop and may have found a semi-fix for those who still are having problems.

I have the unlocked x9100 C2D which let me play with the multiplier in throttlestop. I set it to x6 multi while in game and.. yay, no more slowdown! It seems to be linked to cpu load (lower multiplier means lower cpu speed so EQ eats up more cpu time). Tested it by running at high cpu speed again, but this time with Prime95 maxing my cpu. No slowdown at 100% usage. I guess speedstep can't kick in if you have a high % usage.

For now I'm using http://www.fossiltoys.com/cpuload.html to simulate enough usage to cancel out speedstep but not to cook my laptop. (now looking for a program to dynamically reach the speedstep cutoff instead of a static amount)

Hope this helps!

FYI:
There is a known issue with all bulldozer platform AMD CPU's when overclocked past 4.2Ghz.

When logging into any EQEmu server it kicks you back out with an error 1017.

I haven't found a solution yet... other than create more than one o/c profile and downclock back to 4.2Ghz before launching EQ.

Necro posting, but this is relevant.

My laptop has horrendous slowdown / awful FPS problems. I've tried setting CPU affinity manually, using Duxa UI's fix, and using WinEQ2. None of these solved the problem on its own.

The only thing I have found to work consistently, is to open Chrome and just leave it open in the background. I'm not sure why this is a fix, but as soon as I have Chrome open (any webpage / tab, anything) the choking slow motion FPS goes away.
