Why do I run so Slow?

You don't need a special program to change the cores. I used to have that problem all the time and the easiest way to fix it is by doing the following:

Start EQ
Alt-tab out to the desktop if playing in full screen mode
Right click on your task bar and go to Task Manager
Go to the Processes tab along the top
Find the process with an Image Name of eqgame.exe (Click directly on "Image Name" to sort alphabetically)
Right click on eqgame.exe, click set affinity
Uncheck all boxes other than CPU 0 and hit OK

Return to EQ and you should be problem free

i have a 6 core processor and have never had an issue after i changed the FPS never had to do any of that other stuff.

Multi processor absolutely fux with EQ. She's an old girl, you gotta know how to treat her right.

Setting max fps and changing resolution to match desktop should be your first steps.

Bump on this thread.

I'd love to, once and for all, solve this issue.

I am running on a multi-core laptop and sometimes have the "running slow" issue, as well. I've tried literally everything I can think of to solve this.

Ran "EQPlayNice," and "WinEQ 2" to no avail.

Copied "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start /affinity 1 eqgame.exe patchme" into the target of the EQEmu P99 shortcut.

CPU 1 is already unchecked in the affinity options (only CPU 0 is selected).

Matched resolution of desktop to EQ resolution, as well as adjusting my FPS to 50.

None of these seem to solve this problem that sporadically comes in and out of my time in P99.

Any other suggestions that you've come across?

If none of those things worked for you, you might have to try this.

Before windows even starts go into the computer options and actually disable one of your processors. Inefficient for the computer itself, but it was the ONLY way I could get EQ to run. (And yes, I've tried everything and more named on this forum as well as others).


Good luck!

lol damn, glad I haven't ran into any of these issues here.
