I am running windows xp, 512 MB of ram, thunderbird 950. When I run the world server and start the batch file for 5 zones, that all works fine.
When I log into the login server, my server is listed there. When I join my server and create a character, then try to log in as that character, the world server says it is trying to start qeynos, then my computer starts slowing down, a lot. Then windows gives me a message that the swap space isn't big enough, so it is increasing the size. (I've done this twice and got the same message, windows increased the swap space both times, I tried it a 3rd, and it didn't increase the swap space, it just got really slow) So I hit control alt delete to see how much processor time it is using up, it's not much, but the memory usage on ONE of the zone.exe's is going up, and up, and up, until it was using up over 130 MB of ram. Then, suddenly I get disconnected from the server (the client does), and EQ freezes. If I close all of the zone servers after that, there is STILL a zone.exe in the list of tasks running. It keeps going up in memory usage to about 130 MB again, then drops to 22 MB, and starts going up again. If I try to use the task manager to force the program to end, it will not, it stays listed there. Even if I log out and log back in again, it is still loaded and still using up a lot of memory. It only goes away if I restart.
