Ok, so far I've avoided this problem, simply by having google Chrome open in the background. However that program got an update recently, and now im getting hit full power with the issue. And nothing seems to work.

In short im getting slowed down in game. It seems to be very location specific. As in certain places in zones i get a massive slowdown - other places its just fine.

For instance, in north freeport i run just fine near the bank area. As soon as i exit the yard its like running though water. This slow down effect varies intensity.

Cast bars etc also move slower (spells go off before the bar finishes etc)

So far I've Updated windows, updated graphics drivers. Tried mixing the settings about. Tried /affinity 1 bat file. Tried setting affinity manually in the task manager. Even tried installing wineq2 - all to no use.

Does anyone have a suggestion to what to do to fix this?

Thanks in advance [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Try changing MaxFPS to 50-60 (From 100 default) in the options window in game.

I spent hours upon hours trying everything to fix the slow motion. I am running Vista and an AMD dual core.. I simply went to control panel, power options and changed the power option to high performance from the default balanced setting. I am also running WinEQ2. I hope this helps!!

the .bat file method mentioned previously worked like a charm for me. just remember the file needs to be in the same directory as eqgame.exe. thanks everyone!

I was using the velious ui that was supplied in the setup guide on the forums for a bit, after starting to use it my pc started to get the 'slow' down from the dual core like before i did fixes for it.

After removing the velious ui it went away. As a tip to anyone that might be using it and having issues and none of the other fixes help you.

I just downloaded WinEQ, but no games are listed to select in the toolbar. Their forums are pretty dead so I thought I would try my luck here. Thanks.

Got the program working, but did not improve performance. I am having the slow movement issues. I will continue to look for solutions.

OK I've tried to read through as much as I can but I think my eyes are going to start bleeding if read anymore.. I run

Windows 7 Home Premium (fully updated and patched)
Intel Core i5 cpu M430 @2.27GHZ
4 gig's of Ram
System Type 64-Bit

I've followed the setup directions to the letter as the best I can tell. Now when I try to start the program my screen goes black as though it's switching video modes then about 3 seconds later I get booted back to my desktop with no errors of any kind, in task manager the system reports no running EQ applications, also no EQ related process are shown active once I'm returned to the desktop.

the way I solved my speed-up glitchy crash while zone was to get logged into the game then go to task manager. Set the affinity to one proc. I also disable any real time scan that my anti virus is doing. Once I can achieve this the game runs smooth.

This happened to me initially when I hadn't set up video card options.

For the core affinity issues, can't you just go into the EQClient.ini file and type in coreaffinity=1? 255 should be all cores, right?

I've had the same issue as others have on this thread. However, I cannot resolve mine for the life of me.

I've tried everything in this thread plus things not listed in this thread. Many things help a slight bit, but do not resolve or come close to resolving the utter migraine this issue has become.

I'm currently running a Dell Studio laptop w/ Windows Vista. Running a Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I'd try anything.

Things I've tried:

Running vista on 1 core
Setting the affinity manually
Setting the affinity through target options in the .exe
Setting the affinity through a .bat file
Running WinEQ2
Shutting off all running processes
Shutting off anti-virus
Using a wireless network
Using a wired network
Running w/ no sound
Running priority above normal, normal, and below normal
