AMD Dual Core*

[Vanhorn1]

Heh, I have already done that.....

I put it in my post.....

I also got the AMD Optimizer, and the GnS Affinity program.....

Use runfirst.exe to start eq

Ya, you did mention that you had set affinity in your post, but you didn't specify which core you were setting it to use. From what I have heard, you have to use core 0, which is the only reason I mentioned it at all. If you were trying core 1, supposedly it will still cause issues. I am not sure how that works for boxing since I don't have a dual core to try it on. It may automatically start any other eqgame.exe's to run on the same core as the first one you set. If not, you may need to set them manually. I would try setting both to core 0 and if that doesn't work, try setting the first one to core 0 and the second one you load to core 1 and see what happens.

If this was working fine for 10 days without any issues, then something must have changed to start the problem. That is the part that bugs me. Where you able to 2 box fine during those 10 days?

Also, I doubt it is good to be running more than 1 program for setting the core use at the same time, so you might want to try uninstalling the AMD Optimizer and the other one you installed too and then mess with setting affinity again.

I thought runfirst and EQEMU were not really kosher....

I'll try removing that shit, and binding affinity....

Tommorrow I am going to sit on the phone w/ Toshiba Tech Support until I get this fixed....

Need my damn garage box

I dont start eqemu with runfirst! I use it to start the client.

After re-reading my post, I decided to restore system settings to 10+ days ago....

THis helped alot, I also deleted the optimizer before I did the restore. Reinstalled it after the restore, and it completely fucked up EQ.....

So, now I have about 30minutes to a hour before the legs stop moving, and at 4hrs it is still playable, but animations stop in 1 of the 2 windows....

Did Get n Set Affinity (post restore and post Optimizer uninstall) and it seemed to do the job.....

Fuck Vista.....

Will post in a day or 2 (once I get 5 or more hours to play w/ GnS Affinity being used) and say if that finally fixed it....

Thx to whoever it was that said EQ working previous to the most recent 10 days.... I think that made this alot easier as I am pretty sure I either shut off or disabled some graphic untility.


Btw, to guy that asked which core. First instance of EQ I slap onto Core 0, and 2nd instance I put on Core 1

Try running both instances on core 0 then and see what happens. From what I have heard, it doesn't work right on core 1 for some reason. I just suggested to try that as a troubleshooting step.

If I was you, I would stop using all of the programs for setting affinity and just change your shortcut to start EQ with the /SETAFFINITY 0 command. I am not 100% sure that is the command, but I have seen posts somewhere on these forums recently where people have used it. I think they give a good example if you can find that post.

I know I have heard that sometimes those programs will work and sometimes they just won't. It sounds like they aren't working for you, so you should try it without them if you can.

Found the post I was thinking of. Check the batch file that So_Leet made here:
