Support::General SupportPost all topics here having to do with errors while trying to connect to an EQEMu server but not about the setup/running of the Server itself.
This is an issue related to Windows XP and the EQ Client. There's nothing that we can do about it on the server's side. There are a number of places with links to the patches for it.

OK but I am not sure that will fix my issue because it states:

Without these updates, computers that are equipped with these power management-capable, mobile, dual-core processors may experience decreased performance or unexpected behavior.
I am using a Quad core and its not a laptop its a desktop.
A simple read on the Intel help site shows that quad core processors are not recommended for certain games, and may never work with older games. There is a quad core fix there working on with some gaming companies but in the mean time, set the affinity of games to run on one core.
Basically you jumped the gun and got something thats too new and have to use just one core to get stuff to run correctly. This is the same issue that us with duel cores had until the fixes came out.
Have you tried to set the processor affinity to use only one core? If not, before you download any patches, download Set Affinity and give it a try. It's a simple program that can auto-set the number of cores a program will run on. Here's the link http://www.geocities.com/edgemeal_so...nity/index.htm
Also, try right-clicking the EQ shortcut that you created for EQEmu and go to Properties. Then go to the Compatibility tab. See if running it under compatibility mode for Windows 98 (if you're using XP) or for Windows XP/SP2 (if you're running Vista) has any effect. This has solved both my own issues with multi-core machines and the issues of others.
Woot! this worked for me. I'm running an intel dual core, OS WinXP SP2, simply changed the compatibility from win95 to win98 and it works perfectly now, all the speeds are normal and the graphic settings are much better. thanks!
