switching between instances

Post by davoreno » Wed Feb 28, 2007 10:21 am

Can't figure out why but as of the new expansion release whenever I fire up multiple instances of eq on wineqpro the lag between alt tabbing is god awful.

I don't even have to have multiple instances running could be im trying to alt tab between wineq and internet explorer.

I am running the latest nvidia drivers... I even tried rolling them back.... no luck.

My system is top notch and the vide card is a 7900gtx512.

I never had this problem before I could alt tab between 20 different applications in a heartbeat but now whenever i try and alt tab it could literally take 30 seconds to make the switch.

Only happens when I have a game running not when I just generally alt tab between non video game applications.


Can anyone offer any help?

I am having exactly the same problem. It takes years to switch from one window to the other. It is just as fast to run two sessions without using WinEq. What is going on?

Sounds like something strange with Windows Vista to me. Do you have Aero enabled? (I'm not suggesting you turn it off if you dont want it off, I would just like to know the answer, and if disabling it helps)

I am not using Vista. I am using XPpro.

I have tried eveything. I turned off all of the compex sprites, went to 600 X 800 resolution, turned off all memory intensive functions, and still the lag between windows remained. In fact, when I turned everything back on the lag was exactly the same as with it off.

I occasionally get an error that says there is a problem with eqgame.exe.

I don't understand, because I ran a computer with 1/4 the speed and power of this one with the old version of WinEq and got instant window switches.

Thanks for your help

Could there be a problem with the way Windows XP (Vista) is handling resources. Might there be a setting in Windows that would give more memory to WinEq?

I tested the system again. It takes 25 seconds to switch between windows in WinEq with everything turned off.

If I create two windows on the desktop, not using WinEq, and turn on all the graphics options, it takes 25 seconds to switch between windows.

It is clearly not a question of memory resources.

This is really frustrating. I hope you can come up with some suggestions.

Thanks

Just to be clear, you tested it *with* wineq and it took 25 seconds to switch sessions. Then you tried it *without* wineq and it took 25 seconds. Right?

Also, something that we ask of everybody reporting an issue, please post a sysinfo.txt. Launch 1 session, right click on the game window's title bar, and select Get System Info. Then launch your second session and do the same. Please post both here.

Thanks
