If your computer cant handle P99 then it was time for a hardware upgrade about 15 years ago friend
Core i5-8400
16GB DDR4
Nvidia GT440

Those specs should handle any 1999 game.


But yeah, you are right... I should upgrade to that Pentium 4.

Does turning off other players spell effects reduce lag in raids? It should help a lot if spell effects are being treated as a light source. But I'm not sure if they are.

Sorry your entry level graphics card from 8 years ago can not run the game well.

First off, isn't the integrated GPU in yor CPU more powerful than that POS gt440? Not sure what that is even plugged in...

What resoution are you trying to run at? The game often works better with a lower resolution anyway. also /viewport to 4:3 and you'll get more FPS back.

Having classic darkness, which is a huge part of classic EQ, is worth the headache to the 1% of people running antiquated hardware

Did you crank down the particle effects? I remember those being the real killer back in the day.

Molitoth, performance fixes for dynamic lighting are coming soon in a patch. Sorry you're having issues.

We're not ignoring people with older hardware, but we didn't want to risk pushing an experimental feature with Green launch.

I don't understand this "fix" myself. Regardless of race i have mega issues with seeing in daytime or dark. We've never been able to adjust the gama in game, so it creates a real nightmare. The only thing i've found to fix it is popping in and out of full screen, but despite having done all the compatibility things needed, and changing my full screen reso in the ini, that will often times generate a resize fail error or a memory error that kicks me from game.

I've also noticed a fun little crash that happens when you get into a situation where torches and other items are all causing lighting changes, a memory error pops up and i crash.

Obviously there is much going on behind the scenes, but with all the things on the todo list, to the avg joe like myself, this seems like a waste of time given the payoff and the complexity of the fix.

Get a new video card. Your onboard video is likely more powerful than that GT 440.

You could spend like $25 on a used card to fix this problem.
