Aussie Lag with large pulls - anything we can do?

[Kit Su]

Hiya,

So after countless attempts to try and resolve this issue I figured i'd try seek help on the forums to see if anyone has anything to add.

I'm from Australia and basically the issue I have is whenever i'm near any large pulls, whether its huge bard pulls in DL or large guild raids (PoF especially with the big pulls) i will lag out entirely and may not recover for 15-45 mins (if at all).

I have tried this on 2 different connections (different computers also) and at 2 different locations and its the same. I am also told that some other Aussies have this issue. I can play other games at the same time on the same computer and those are completely unaffected during the time that everquest is entirely lagged out. My ping to google also remains unaffected.

My eqhost file is set to
"[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998"

ive turned off pretty much everything I can think of
- shadows off
- npc names off
- most combat text off (including bard songs, DS, etc)
- far clip plane to 0
- log set to off
- particle effects all off

The network traffic seems to be minimal, I just cant figure out why the Everquest client cannot handle it.

Anything you can think of would be great - it would be nice to be able to raid again one day [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
