No, it's not normal. Have you previously disabled dynamic lighting on Blue? (by running the command /dyn off)

Open eqclient.ini and make sure ShowDynamicLights = true

Ill do that now, thank you for your time!

Human in Qeynos noob area I’ve tried multiple light sources, candle, lantern, mags summoned stone, and now light stones off willowisps. None of them work at all. What’s up with this?

Guys, it seems that with each patch, more and more performance is lost.

With the latest 52 patch, FPS drops sometimes to barely playable. That's on a modern comp.

Does it have anyhting to do with the recent DirectX developments?

I play on my laptop and since 49 or 50... the CPU fan is at 100% as soon as p99 eqgame is launched. Even before the game displays any 3D at all.

Hey guys, I just wanted to give an update on performance.

There is a low-perf dynamic light mode coming in a future patch that will be usable by people who are seeing issues. Performance problems are not widespread, and they aren't considered game-breaking, so we didn't try to cram them into the day-1 green patch. Apologies to people who are having issues, and I hope we can get a resolution for you soon.

Known issues:

• Clip plane settings affect light radius. (Low priority)
• Nighttime rain makes it easier to see.

Fixed (Live)

• Infra/Ultravision are much too dark in certain indoor areas.
• Skies and ambient lighting are messed up in several zones, notably Feerott, Toxxulia and Nektulos.
• Outdoor zones should have a subtle blue tint instead of being inky black at night.
• Under certain conditions, zone lighting can fail to initialize properly, resulting in darker-than-intended conditions outdoors at night.
• Corpses show dynamic lights.
• Boats (and certain other props) in certain zones (Erudin, Erud's Crossing) fail to show any dynamic lights at all

Fixed locally, waiting for future patch

• Dynamic lights can cause FPS loss.
• Dynamic lights can flicker in very crowded areas.
• All dynamic lights are too bright
• Starting candles are WAY too bright

Love to fix, probably can't:

• Baked environment lighting in some city zones is stronger than intended.
• Boat dynamic lighting is spotty and ugly.
• Dynamic lights (torches) not flickering like they did in Classic
• Infravision red tint on mobs. (Ultravision works fine.)

Is there any timeline on this next patch?

Guys something I began experiencing about a week ago.

FOr some reason I can play for hours without issues, but if someone upon login or after several hours sends me a tell or I try to send someone a tell, my client crashes [You must be logged in to view images.

has anyone else experienced this? Only happens on green, Blue and Red do not have this issue, might it be UI related?

Pretty confused about this

You have tells going to a chat window that's in an invalid position or set to an invalid size.
