Did I stutter? Help with stuttering in Win 10/2019

[Lumah]

It seems to be a common issue, with multiple threads advocating all kinds of witchcraft that still doesn't seem to help here. Sorry for starting a new one, but this seems to make more sense than bumping a few old threads. Some things I've tried...

• "eqgame.exe" runs in Compatibility mode XP Service Pack 3
• Disable shadows
• WinEQ 2.0 (maybe makes it less pronounced but it's clearly still there)
• FPS set to 59 and 60
• Maybe that's it?

Also kind of weird to me, but my LaunchTitanium.bat is only "C:\EverQuest\Launch Titanium.bat" and eqgame.exe seems to launch without any additional comments/flags.

I still have the stuttering, which seems like it's a hard drive/loading issue. But I saw another post that says this happens when somebody zones in - and since I'm playing primarily lowbie zones right now that would make the most sense. I also vaguely remember that on live. Can anybody confirm that and put an end to this "issue"?
