Stuck at 30 fps
 

Hey guys

I have recently come back from a break and im experience really low FPS on p99, name im stuck at 30 FPS on an i9 / RTX 2080 Ti.

I have

1) Disabled Windows defender
2) Removed dynamic lighting in the eqclient.ini file
3) Tried renaming the eqclient.ini file, did not improve
4) using wineq2 , affinity set to 1 core...

any ideas?

it's making me really nauseous after 20 30 mins of playing, it's so bad that I Have to stop playing

thanks for the help!

Is the client actually detecting your 2080? Under options > display > advanced does it report the discrete card or your integrated? If the latter, use dgvoodoo2:

Indeed mate, the 2080 is detected and displayed in the options in game

The game is locked at 30 FPS a patch or two ago.

i'm having this same problem it is frustrating ive tried a lot of different things- still no luck. ever since the 60 fps cap patch

I had this same issue after updating drivers on my 1660 Super. What fixed it for me was going into the NVIDIA Control Panel settings and manually set the "Max Frame Rate" setting to 60. Don't forget to hit apply then completely exit and reload the client for it to work.

I tried doing that too only the AMD Radeon version i use a 5700 xt and it didn't do anything. Ive renamed my INI file, messed with the setting through the AMD overlay, no dice. still hard capped at around 35 fps

recent windows patch to directx has caused issues
listen to mcoy

That FIXED it for me, THANK YOU!

So :

for me the fix was to go into nvidia control panel, chose eqgame.exe and set max FPS to 60 , instead of have it automatically set, which hard capped the game at 35 fps :

Additionally :

- renamed the eqclient.ini
- using wineq2 affinity set to 1
- removed windows defender

I still get some very harsh FPS drops when im in WL and it's raining for instance, i'll try further tweaks and see what works.
