Freezing in certain zones

[Arcaan]

Certain zones like fob and cabilis and bazaar I freez and this is only on my new computer which is better than the other on. Unsure why this is happening. I have Vista could that be it or is this a known issue?

hoping put this in right forum section

It does not even let me move as soon as the char moves it freezes and my other computer is way older and works fine....unsure of why

No, this is definitely the wrong section. It should have gone in the general support forum.

I don't run Vista, but I am sure there are issues with it. Probably doing a search of the forums would help track down your problem. I would try searching for the word "vista" and see what pops up. Probably alot.

Also, if you are running a dual core processor (CPU), there is a well known issue with that causing lockups and crashes. You need to set your processor affinity. A quick search of the forums would find the answer, but here is the fix:

Dual Core CPU Fix:
Dual (or Quad) Cores cause crashes, but has a simple fix.
1. Start EQEmu
2. Before logging into the login server, ATL+TAB out of the program and hit CTRL+ALT+DEL
3. Select the 'Processes' Tab
4. Find the eqgame.exe process and right click it
5. Select 'Set Affinity' and then chose CPU 0
6. Return to EQ and run like normal

Alternatively, if you are running an AMD processor, you can fix it by just installing the AMD Optimizer.
