Developer Input - CPU Limit Cutoff

[atomos]

Copying and pasting my reply from another thread for all of us Ryzen owners suffering from this problem:

There is a workaround such that you don't have to downclock.

1) Set all core CCX manual clock to 4 or 4.2 Ghz in BIOS

2) Install AMD Ryzen Master software

https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/ryzen-master

3) Every time you boot up PC or wake up from sleep - open Ryzen Master, set ECO or DEFAULT profile. This returns CPU clock/boost to normal out of box behavior and overrides BIOS manual setting.

4) Play EQ, or do whatever!


Step 3 is indeed annoying, but this is what I have been doing to get full CPU performance while being able to play P99.

I SUSPECT this works because this tells Windows (and therefore Titanium client) that the default clock speed is whatever BIOS is set to, even though Ryzen Master overrides that once you are booted up and make that change.

it worked for me. running at super speeds 7900x style and i got my p99 toon to log in woot.

set clock speed on bios to 4200. launched windows. launched the Ryzen Master software. Set CPU control Mode to default. hit Apply. double checked cpu speeds (did as expected went from 4200 to a variable 4.7 to 5+) Launched P99 - GOT PASSED SERVER SELECT, LETS FUCKING GOOO

This is the best solution yet. Still unfortunate but nice that I dont have to reboot every time I wanna play p99. Thanks for finding this.

Brilliant workaround

Unfortunately this may be a problem with the era of the client we're using.

It looks like the devs addressed the timing behavior in the client around 2015: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/.../#post-3314217

Good thread will follow

I’m still having this issue. Anyone figure out what the culprit is?

[Topgunben]

Just wanting to throw this out here in case no one has tried it. After being at my wits end trying to figure out what was going on with all the crashing and login issues, I decided to connect to the internet via my iPhones hot spot. This immediately fixed the problem and I’ve been crash free and login issue free since making the switch.

The reason I never considered it to be a network issue is that ive had the same internet for quite some time and the game has run just fine. It wasn’t until here recently that I simply could not zone or login without a 95% change of failure.

this sounds like a different issue and resolve. this thread is focusing in on the issues that newer CPUs are running into.

it seems that AMD CPUs over 4.2ghz base clock speed cant get into character select. sometimes throwing up the 1017 error.

im at 4.7ghz *amd* and i cannot get passed character select.

solution but super terrible and depressing, unretire my older machine OR run the game in a Virtual Machine limiting that processor to 4.0ghz.

Now running p99 in my VM i have hella issues with frame rate. game is running like garbage. time to spend time figuring out how to make the VM smooth like butter

[Headcase_Fargone]

What are you using to run P99 in a VM that lets you limit the clockspeed? It's my understanding that only level 1 hypervisors allow this, not something like VMWare Workstation or VirtualBox.
