WinEQ 2.0 + multicore CPU fix?

[Bombay2]

Hello,

Right now for me I must choose between running WinEQ 2.0 to solve graphical chop, or running Duxa's mutlicore CPU fix to solve slow-motion movement, but I can't have both. I try to manually set CPU affinity for eqgame.exe while running WinEQ, but it doesn't work. Is there a way I can solve both problems at once? This is all new to me. Any help is very appreciated.

Manually setting the executable's affinity doesn't work or doesn't solve the issue? What version of Windows are you running? And are you using an Intel or an AMD CPU?

This thread might be worth looking through if you haven't already:

I have:
AMD 8350FX processor

I have CHOP ISSUES! WinEQ2 did not fix anything. I thought it did at first, but plain and simple it doesn't.

I tried setting 1 affinity CPU to the executable and it didn't work.

The only thing I can think of left is to under clock my CPU, which is running at out of the box speeds.

That thread fuel linked in his post is a good one, but wasn't helpful to me.

EDIT:

I also have a brand new Lenovo which has a I7 4510 CPU. I have NO issues at all with P99 running on it. Oh, it has a Nvidia 820m.

Hm. have you tried running WinEQ and forcing its affinity through Task Manager rather than relying on your launch parameters? I've noticed with other older games that I run with my AMD chipset that I have to set the affinity through WTM rather than relying on launch parameters.

That's my only other suggestion [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

When you boot your computer, hit whatever Fkey it needs to go into the DIOS. There's an option called SpeedStep. turn it off. Fixed my slow motion problems instantly. Nothing else fixed them, tried nearly every fix. Some BIOS do not have that option, if yours doesn't then keep on keepin on

try using a custom shortcut with set affinity in the string, also set priority to high

Hey guys. Thanks for all the responses and suggestions. I'll give them all a try and report back with what worked. Before I do though I'll have to resolve another unrelated technical issue that's come up.

I'm running Windows 7 and Intel. Setting affinity manually doesn't solve the issue. I remain in slow motion.

Late response:

Yes. WinEQ2 + open Task Manager, right click eqgame.exe, select Real-Time, Select 1 of the 8 cores.

I am still having major chop issues. I could try the Speedstep thing in the BIOS like suggested. I'll look for it.

I have an 8-core and use WinEQ2, solves my problem without additional changes. Maybe it is something else giving you problems?

What are your settings on WinEQ?
