Locked frames - no longer smooth!

Hi, I have exactly this same issue. Moving, as in running forward, is smooth. Panning around laterally or vertically is very jarring and juddery, by comparison. Certainly compared to pre-patch.

When you say reinstall do you mean start afresh with the EQ Titanium client or the operating system?

Didnt work for me. Reinstalled completely afresh from the Titanium disks, exact same problem in game.

Client has 60fps set. Video mode has 60hz set. I also set my 144hz monitor to 60hz, doesn't make a single difference.

Are you using a laptop? If so, load up some tasks like Steam or something similar. That’s been my fix for years and multiple laptops, EQ doesn’t challenge the CPU much. Before my install, I couldn’t even mouse look at all in EC tunnel, it was 1fps. After reinstall, it’s a locked 60fps, no stutters - but still obviously not 144fps.

Sadly not, a gaming tower.

I'm fairly up on framerate and refresh selections, having a gsync monior but none of these changes make any sense to me. Overnight (pre-patch) I went from an incredibly smooth gameplay experience to one that's now so frustrating when mouselooking or panning left and right, that it makes me feel sick.

Of all the changes that went in, this is the one I just can't live with.

Yea, my game does not run smooth either with the 60fps cap.

Have you tried to set the affinity of the process to a specific processor?

Yes, made no difference. This issue was not present before the latest patch.

Logged in today for the first time and indeed it immediately felt unsmooth, running around.

It definitely doesn't feel like 60 fps. More like 30. Maybe something about the software FPS capping not being "in sync" with the monitor frames, and sometimes the monitor displays 1 frame while the game counted 2 ? Something like that.

Maybe it can be capped at somethinkg like 99 FPS? It will still achieve the same goal of avoiding framerate cheats, but hopefully will feel smoother? (99 and not 100 because at 100 mouse-looking starts to become buggy).
