I have 2 people with the same problem...

Im thinking it has something to do with the titanium client they were provided. Im going to see if they can get a new, fresh, install of titanium and see how that works... Anyone else have ideas?

foundout what the problem was for me.. the max frames per second was set down to 10.. reset it to 100 and it works fine

The other thing to be wary of on laptops is speedstep. (Or at least Intel calls it speedstep). This is a function whereby your laptop processor speed changes when on batteries and when plugged in.

It will cause weird things to happen with the titanium client (sending you to warp speed or molasses crawls). Also, usually causes you to disconnect in zones.

However, due to the opcode notes above, I would suspect that this is the version of Titanium you have. Best bet is an off-the-shelf version.

Dual core processors can make your client do some funky things too. There are patches out to fix that problem.

you can do a simple work-around in windows if it is a dual core TSC (time stamp counter) issue.

start everquest, then open windows task manager. right click on the eqgame.exe process, and click select affinity. choose only 1 processor to run the client on.
