Default To people who have framerate issues after the last patch

Disable Advanced Lightning in Options > Display > Advanced

If this didn't work, exit game, launch again, and click the Options button on the screen right after your have to Accept / Decline the terms of use.

Go through the options, select reset to default.

Relaunch game. This has fixed my framerate issues (was dropping to like 5 FPS in the EC tunnel on a modern comp).

Did this issue happen to flare up again after a while ?
I was having this issue and your fix seemed to fix my fps issue but now I'm having the same issue but that fix is no longer working.

Fresh install fixed it but i swapped characters and now im back where i started.

Im just not sure what is happening thats messing it up


I used the duxa all in one thing to do a fresh install and apparently that will fix the issue but only temporarily it seems.

I also was having big frame drops after recently restarting after a long break on a new 4 core win 10 laptop. It appeared the hard pauses coincided with players entering the zone (a constant issue in someplace busy like EC). Possible delay loading character info?

Reading various sources I tried several tweaks to resolve it as it made playing a bard honestly impossible.

A) editing config.ini with 2 lines to use only 1 core (don't have the laptop right now but it was 2 short lines),
B) setting everquest.exe to run in Windows 98 compatibility mode
C) druxa all in one over the install and had it add the additional launch config for multi core systems

~although right now launching p1999 from the recommended .bat provided in the v47 update seems more stable with less crashing when camping out.~
D) moved the EQ titanium install and backups off the hard disk drive to a solid state drive where the OS win 10 is installed on a separate folder.
E) changed in graphics config to cap frame rate at 60.

Don't notice dropped frames now but still some wicked screen tearing even at low resolution (default 4k resulted in a microscopic unplayable UI)

I don't know about you, but for me compatibility set for Windows XP (Service Pack 3) worked best for my HP laptop. Then again, I'm running Windows 8.1 on the laptop.
