It forces the classic darkness and other view limitations that were removed in the Titanium client to make the game more "friendly". It's still a work in progress I'm sure.

Sounds backwards to me, as I am certain dynamic lighting was added around PoP and was always buggy hence why it was optional and recommended turned off for people having graphics issues.

I'm having also lag issues. I'm in the euro zone. Pre-patch, I was at a constant 170mS ping. Post patch, I get either 250mS (still playable) or 540mS (unplayable for most stuff other than trade skills). Zoning in/out/relogging sometimes switches the 540mS to 250mS and sometimes the opposite happens. Very distinct lag numbers (250mS, 540mS, nothing in between). I've talked to my ISP and bumped the connection priority but to no avail (paid more). On a side note, WoW is 70mS for me so my connection is pretty good.

I haven't played since the mandatory inclusion because any area with more than like 15 ppl and lightsources is like 10 fps -- where it was butter smooth on even the abnormal raids (say 80 / 90... not AOW zergs). hopefully my "trick" lets some people play the game at a normal fps, heaven forbid you can see better than "classic" but your fps is somehow worse

dynamic lighting to the gas chambers.

Wow! It's 2021 now and I'm just finding this thread as I return to the game after a year long break. I have a freakin RTX 3070 + 3900x Ryzen and I can't get more than 40FPS playing EQ P99. I've tried forcing the game to run on just 1/2/4/etc CPU cores. I've forced maximum GPU performance in the control panel to run it constantly @ max clocks etc.

What a shame [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There's still no fix for this issue ..... !?!?

Tried a ton of stuff and nothing worked. Just found a fix.

For those using WinEQ2 -- Check the options for EQPlayNice, there is an FPS limiter setting in Foreground. Turned that up and the game is finally running butter smooth.

UPDATE FIX:

You can also limit your FPS Using the Nvidia/Radeon Control Panel and fix this problem. Using MSI Afterburner to limit my FPS *DID NOT* work.

I have been experiencing a weird lag spike that drops my fps from 100% down to 95% one % at a time since the patch. I can no long swarm kite on my bard, and now when playing different characters, I will lag really bad while casting spells.(fully cast the spell and it will take about 4 secs to hit the mob). And mobs are able to catch me , even though I have Jboots and take off while they kill my pet. It is NOT my internet. Since I never experienced then problem before the patch. ONLY after your last patch. Please help me fix this. I have done EVERYTHING that you all have listed on this thread. Nothing has fixed it.
