Does anyone feel the patch ignores a few elephants in the room?

- Just pathetic population. Green and Blue merge, please. No, making another classic server will just hurt pop again. Green was a bad idea in the first place imho.
- Zone experience mods in dire need of retooling. You all ruined Hole and Velks is now a Bard xp zone 24/7. Maybe boost xp in a 50-60 zone that doesn't ruin OT banking?
- And then maybe come up with ideas to grow the pop. Perma xp bonus?

At this point I wouldn't mind if they merged green/blue ESPECIALLY if they end up making a new server but I'm not a raider so those people might feel differently.

52-60 is a grind, always was. It is the classic experience. Just be happy we get Holiday double exp/loot/faction bonus, that didn't happen live back then.

Just downloaded the new patch. Whenever I enter game, its extremely choppy, I can’t look around

I have the same problem. It's incredibly slow, like <1fps, even on the login screen. (Although some things, like mouse cursor, move at normal speed.) I can't look around or move, although I can look up and down with the mouse (and oddly, that happens at normal speed). Movement keys don't work, and the whole interface is glitchy, for example clicking an item appears to duplicate it, and it never gets picked up.

This is the same thing that happened after the optional patch last month, by the way. To fix it that time, I reverted to the previous patch. This time I can't.

I tried a complete reinstall, even deleting all of the user files; nothing helps. This laptop is older, running Windows 7, but it's still a decade more recent than EQ Titanium and runs it fine. It has a dedicated graphics card and was top of the line at the time I bought it. I don't think this is a performance issue, though, because of the way some things work at normal speed, and because of the interface errors.

You should only ever need to do the most upto date patch [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Update (I can't find an edit button): A fix from the thread about v59 worked. I copied the file dsetup.dll from a previous patch and everything is normal again. I used v58; the person in the thread used v56. Anything pre-59 may work.

Having the same problem. Can we please revert the client changes in this update? Note: Changing the fps settings did not fix this for me.

[CENTER][SIZE="5"][B]If you want a perma xp bonus boy do I have the recommendation for you!

Watching the server pop drop below 200 on Blue, when it once was over 2,000. So uh I'm just tossing out an idea. Typical internet. You can agree there's a problem but step on my suggestion to fix it. Let's hear your ideas?

I'm not getting it that bad, but I have noticed what feels like less framerate. Movement choppier. I dropped my view distance and that helped a little. Only running on a 2021 Razer Blade i7 with a 3070gpu, maybe I need to upgrade for this patch?
