Try to put frame rate to 100, that helps to me.

Frame rate defaut its 50, change.

No, sometimes you run slower when your frame rate is slow. For example, I run much slower whenever I alt-tab out to a web browser and keep auto run on.

To OP, I've noticed on my laptop that everything runs in super slow motion if the max fps is set too low or if I have eqplaynice running.

I had to do a little of tweaking to get EQ running smoothly. First if you are using a quad core system that are using the fix for it. As per the FAQ make sure you change the path of your short cut to C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start /affinity 1 eqgame.exe patchme Make sure you leave the "Start in" in the shortcut alone.

Then I had to go to the eqclient file and under the video secion add the following:

FullscreenRefreshRate=60
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32

It changed my FullscreenRefreshRate back to 0 but after that everything ran smoothly.

Also, how old is the laptop? How much memory, cpu does it have. What OS is it running and what video card are you using?

Necroing this thread because I can't find any others on the subject. I play on a laptop which i've played on before flawlessly, but my animation is ridiculously slow and my run speed, even when sowed, is incredibly slow. My casting bars are also about 50% off (the spell finishes at about half bar). I've tried tweaking the eqclient file as indicated above, but it's not affecting it.

Again, this is a laptop where i've played fine before (with the exact same game files - I moved them to a flash drive and then moved them back after a few months).

Any help?

FWIW, I resolved this issue by playing with video modes and max FPS in the options.
