I had this same issue after updating drivers on my 1660 Super. What fixed it for me was going into the NVIDIA Control Panel settings and manually set the "Max Frame Rate" setting to 60. Don't forget to hit apply then completely exit and reload the client for it to work.

Awesome this worked! had not played in a long time and i felt something was weird with the fps and this fixed it! cheers dude!

I tried doing that too only the AMD Radeon version i use a 5700 xt and it didn't do anything. Ive renamed my INI file, messed with the setting through the AMD overlay, no dice. still hard capped at around 35 fps

So :

for me the fix was to go into nvidia control panel, chose eqgame.exe and set max FPS to 60 , instead of have it automatically set, which hard capped the game at 35 fps :

Additionally :

- renamed the eqclient.ini
- using wineq2 affinity set to 1
- removed windows defender

I still get some very harsh FPS drops when im in WL and it's raining for instance, i'll try further tweaks and see what works.

Thank you!

I had the same problem. I took a break for a couple of months and when starting the client I had low fps. That setting brought me back into business. I had to update my nvidia drivers because my old version didnt have the "set max fps" setting. Works!

If anyone has any fixes for a Radeon/AMD user pls let me know, capped at 35

@Skarne, first off, are you using WinEQ2? If you are, try doing this below and see if you have better frames.

Secondly, try just renaming your eqclient.ini to eqclient.ini.old

Then try to open the game using the "Launch Titanium.bat" link provided by the P99 patch files downloaded. Then run the "Options" and setup those according to your video card. Is the card that EQ recognizes the one that you are expecting?

If after doing those steps and you see the FPS go any higher than 35, then it may be that you were using WinEQ2 and had the option for "EQPlayNice" to be on and possibly configured to limit your FPS to 35. (Mine was set to be limiting at 40 exactly) I am using a Ryzen 5 AMD integrated APU, after turning off the "EQPlayNice" option for my EQ shortcut in Preferences and closing and restarting the WinEQ2 application, I am now able to go over 40 FPS and am no longer locked.

I will try it! Thank you. I do not have WinEQ2 I will try to download that and configure.

it's your drivers
roll back your catalyst

[Skarne]

WinEQ2 wasnt the issue. I'm not sure how to rollback my drivers, and idk if thats a good idea considering I also play many current games.
