crappy computer issues/frame rate so slow that my character runs slower

[gotrocks]

problem fixed?

if so, what'd you do?

problem mostly solved. i'd already done just about everything suggested in this thread awhile ago. what worked was turning the sky all the way off (had it set to simple before).

i tried all the advanced solutions first, but the moment i turned the sky off my frame rate skyrocketed. was like a breath of fresh air lol. i guess sometimes the simplest solution is the best. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Installing XP rather than 7 really helps on old computers. I'd definitely recommend getting a copy from somewhere and changing operating systems. Old my old laptop I inherited from my parents it has made a world of difference, from startup times to EQ framerate.

Try step 4 from the getting started guide. Can't remember if your atom is multi-core, but that might be part of the problem:

Step 4 - Optional WinEQ
Many users experience problems with proper CPU/Core Utilization or crashing which can be fixed by using WinEQ2. You can download this program from Lavishsoft.

i think EQPlayNice does that... EQPN was put out by the same people that do WinEQ, and WinEQ includes most EQPN functionality.
