Low FPS as a result of P99s fixed framerate?
Hello.
Since Windows 10 violated me with a non-consensual '''''''feature update'''''''', I've been experiencing lower-than-satisfactory FPS on all Project 1999 servers. Seeing as I am no longer able to rollback this update (as another thread suggested), I've been trying to pinpoint the cause. So as a test, I went to another server (PEQ I believe) and was greeted with the same choppy 20-30 FPS. That is, until I adjusted the FPS slider from 60 to 100. Lo and behold, things are running as they should!! Until we return to P99, where the FPS slider is restricted to decreasing the framerate only. Seeing as this appears to not be a common issue for most P99 players, I'm feeling like it could be related to my hardware settings? Currently running on a Ryzen 3600 CPU + RX 580 GPU combo. I've tried messing around with Radeon software settings, setting up a specific profile for eqgame.exe, turning off Radeon Chill / Enhanced Sync etc as well as attempting to set a fixed minimum/maximum framerate within the software. My theory is that the game may no longer be utilizing the GPU (or possibly CPU) enough when it is being capped at 60FPS, for whatever reason (this was not rly the case before the forced windows update) However, I am kind of out of ideas on what specific settings I should try to modify. If anyone has experienced this with a similar set up and has any suggestions I would be most grateful! Some things I've tried so far: Reinstalling latest graphics drivers with factory reset Running the game in Fullscreen Running WinEQ2 with CPU AFFINITY changes on and off, EQPlayNice FPS limiting high dgvoodoo & Wined3d Adjusting in game resolution and graphics settings Deleting eqclient.ini and UI configurations for characters Reinstalling the P99 patch files Other things listed above in my huge blanket of text eqlog.txt is off, so no overly large log files | ||

Try Vsync=1 in Eqclclient.ini and leave CPU AFFINITY to p1999 default

I'm having a similar FPS issue. I'm returning after a couple years and found my FPS is an abysmal ~35. When I played previously I wasn't having this problem. Nothing changed with my hardware: i5-6600k and 980ti in Win10 Home.
I tried most of the same fixes as OP with no change. Also tried messing with Windows "Game Mode" but that didn't work either. Anyone else have any ideas? | ||

Try playing in windowed mode. That seems to have fixed it for me, and I had the same issue you had.

It seems as though some sort of conflict has developed with how P99's custom files handle the titanium client and migrating from Win10 1909 to 20H2. It's entirely possible that some setting under the hood was changed during the update process, but I've yet to determine what it could be. The power plan is the same as it was prior to updating (AMD Ryzen High Performance). The only lead I could find was another thread on the Project1999 subreddit where only several AMD GPU users were sharing pretty much exact experiences with framerate issues, but ultimately was a dead end for any fixes. | ||||

My FPS issues were caused by the Nvidia service NVIDIA Display Container LS. Since stopping and disabling it a couple months back I haven't had any issues.
Perhaps there's a similar issue with AMD gpus? Could try stopping any AMD services and see if it helps. | ||

hi.
you have not a nvidia grapics card but perhaps my tip will help. i have a nvidia gfx-card and fixed my fps problems with changing a parameter in the nvidia systemcontrol for everquest. perhaps there is the possibility there is the same parameter for amd graphics cards. I am in germany an i dont know the exact english name but i think the parameter from which i talk is named : Mode for low latency or low latency mode i set this to ULTRA and my fps issuses were solved well, i make a also a screenshot. https://ibb.co/0ywRgqP good luck | ||
