Problem With Vista

Hit Alt/Ctrl/Del and bring up the task manager. Start EQ. Go to the processes tab in Task Manager. Find eqgame.exe. Right click and choose "Set Affinity". Uncheck Core 0, click OK. See if that changes anything.

If it does, I can help you set affinity each time you play with a little batch file. Let's see if that works, first.

Hm that didnt do anything except make my game freeze up. =/

Try it the other way around. Try de-selecting core 1 instead of 0.

Ya, you want to run on core 0 not 1.

[So_1337]

Yeah, my mistake. It's been so long since I've done it manually that I couldn't remember. I just made a batch file to run EQ instead:

start /affinity 1 eqgame.exe patchme
exit

Create a text file. Place the above code into it. Go to File, then "Save As..." and call it "EQ.bat". Place it in your EQ folder. Create a shortcut to it on your desktop. This is now your EQ shortcut for when you only run one account. Label it accordingly (mine is ?"EQ - One Account"). This should run the game normally.

If you run with more than one account at a time on the same machine (two seems to do the trick for me), then you can use your normal shortcut, as it should overload your dual-core enough to balance the load. What's happening now is that you're running the game far faster than intended, which is why you seem to be moving at warp speed. These methods should help slow you down to normal. Sorry for the mix-up on which core to disable at first, and thanks to Trevius for the help

Alright so when you say Create a shortcut of it do you mean the text file or EQ Game?? I really have no clue what i'm doin atm. Haha

He means make a text file .. go open up notepad or wordpad either works ... copy and paste

start /affinity 1 eqgame.exe patchme
exit

into the file , go to file save as , and name it EQ.bat , make a shortcut of that and put it on your desktop.. The icon should look like a window with a wheel in it
