I completely agree. We will have to wait for them to reply to get some more information about their hardware to help further!

I can't speak to the RAMDISK suggestion but I was also having performance issues on my fairly beefy system (stuttering/hitching and abysmal loading times). I had EQ installed on a separate SATA drive (with all my other games) from my W10 install which is on an SSD. After trying many suggestions I moved my EQ directory to my SSD drive and my performance issues disappeared. I also had to turn my FPS way down because at 2k resolution I couldn't even turn.

In reality, the zone files/model information are not that large, and shouldn't take an abnormal amount of time to load, even for a slow, standard HDD. I think some people with HDD's though, might be surprised to learn that their actual read/write speed is much slower then what it is advertised as for the unit in question. Crystalmark or others can show you that information. Typically indicative of an issue with IDE/AHCI settings, driver issues, or hard drive health. Additionally, as a HDD fills, so does the physical placement of the data on the platter, read and write times will increase. SSD's are neat, ram disks have their niche uses, but neither should be required for acceptable loading times (given a stable internet connection) for everquest, by a long shot. | |||

The problem is, I think you've lost sight of OPs problem. They are stuttering in certain zones. He said nothing of loading time, and you continue to pitch spending money on an SSD. I think that's irresponsible advice. I am waiting to hear back details regarding the hardware being used, and will continue then.

Alright, was more focused on the other issues, which an SSD will do nothing for. It is my bad for overlooking that in this discussion! Just going to wait for the hardware information.
