FAQ Updated (table of EQ options' memory usage)

Post by Lax » Sat Sep 11, 2004 3:33 pm

We have done some testing and determined the approximate amount of memory usage EverQuest uses for various graphics/sound options. The FAQ now includes a table containing the results, which can be used to minimize EverQuest's memory usage.

As a result of these tests WinEQ will have a better estimation of the memory required to run EQ, based on your options. If your system has far less than the calculated required amount, WinEQ will pop up a message box explaining problems you may encounter (before this change goes live, WinEQ currently does this at about 172MB or less of system RAM, which may be grossly inadequate depending on your options). The options will also be logged to WinEQ.log for more detailed analysis of reported problems that turn out to be related to lack of memory.

Also, another entry has been added to the FAQ to explain EverQuest's current issue with GeForce FX6800 cards, which is supposed to be fixed at the release of Omens of War.
