Game running at LUDICROUS SPEED!

[vek35]

Hello I'm Vek!

So after seeing that the new P1999 "Green" server just lit up on everyone's radars once it was released on the 25th i decided to dust off an old copy of EQ and after installation and copying of the provided patch I proceeded to launch the game with zero issues but one tinny tiny issue..

Everything is going LUDICROUS SPEED!!!! :D:D

It's like speed hacks are like stuck on maximum and its very prevalent in-game.

I have attempted to isolate the issue to the CPU i am using (FX 8350) which is an 8 core processes and i have manually set the CPU to run off just 2 cores but that did not solve the issue.

from my understanding of other posts i have gathered that perhaps it has something to do with clock speeds. I'm unsure as to whether this is a proper fix and i am seeking guidance.

Thanks,

I have underclocked my CPU to a multiplier of 10 and thus achieved a max clock speed of 2Ghz and it seems to have eliminated the super speed that was experienced.

As this is a very interesting fix with a kind of verbose manner where i'd manually need to change my clock speed in the BIOS to effectively play the game each time i wanna play, does anyone have an alternate fix so i can negate the need to change the clock speed?

Have you tried the frame rate limiter in the game options?

try changing your CPU multiplier to 1 less than it's currently set to... should fix it :)
