60 FPS lock is buggy - maybe change it to 99 ?
 

For many of us, the 60 FPS lock has caused performance issues as per the reports on the forums.

I experience it myself, and I have a very decent computer that runs the latest 3D games just fine. FPS drops drasticaly when there are 10+ player characters on the screen.

Please consider trying to lock the FPS at 99, as it would serve the same purpose of defeating the FPS hacks, but hopefully would solve the performance issues we're experiencing.

I'm volunteering to beta test the DLL if needed!

Note: locking to 100 would be bad, too, as it causes other issues (mouse look starts to be weird).

Check and make sure your graphics card preferences for EQ haven't reverted to your shitty integrated Intel graphics card instead of your 3D card.

It hasn't reverted.

Maybe delete your graphics card profile for EQ game and make a new one?

I'm having same issue.

Could you explain to an ogre how to do this?

Again; could you explain to an ogre how to do this?

Game is kinda unplayable for me atm.

100 on the ingame slider is actually just unlocked FPS, as can be seen on things like RTSS. That is what caused the bugs, your mouselook polling is based on FPS and the higher it goes the lower your mouselook sensitivity.

Your graphics card could theoretically be putting EQ in to a low power mode with the new FPS lock. You could see if you have any luck going to (only know how for Nvidia, while EQ is closed) NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings > Add > eqgame.exe and then using the dropdown menu to locate EverQuest (eqgame.exe) > Power management mode > Prefer maximum performance then clicking apply in the bottom right.

I run p99 on Linux.
There's no such thing as the Nvidia control panel.

It used to run great before the lock, I usually used to set it at 90-99 FPS cap.

Any news on this matter?

I have tried the above mentioned + one core + /dyn off + went through the possibilities mentioned in the graphic section on wiki. All with no luck.

I still lack like hell after this last patch. If more than 3 PCs/NPCs are within my view it becomes unplayable for me, and thats like everywhere :(

What graphics cards are you using?

1. Post the exact model and driver version in use for every GPU in your system, whether dedicated or integrated. List both if you have both.

2. Post a screenshot of your EQ advanced graphics settings, as attached.

I just tested how WinEQ2 works for me. Sadly it doesnt help with the lag at all. I tested the one core thing as well. And the /dyn off as well. I went through it all.

It seems like I have lag all the time, but it gets more intence as soon as I have more than 2 NPCs/PCs within my view, which might indicate the latest changes in light have something to do with it? Donno. Im kinda frustrated, as its unplayable atm.
