WinEQ 2.02, EverQuest, 92%+ CPU Usage issue

[Venthos]

- Please explain which GAME you are having trouble with
EverQuest

Weird ass problem going on. With WinEQ 2.02 Pro running, one window of EQ open. If I just hover the mouse over any taskbar item to where a "tip" displays. For the length of time that displays (including the "Fade Up" time, visible time, and "Fade Down" time.) eqgame.exe's CPU Usage rockets to 92%+. When the tip goes away, it resumes back down to ~15% usage.

This ONLY occurs if WinEQ's window is "visible". It doesnt matter if it's in focus or not. Just if the window itself is visible.

Let me know what other information if any you need.

This happens even without WinEQ. I'll see if I can figure out a way to prevent it, thanks for the report

Oh? I had just the other day (The day of that post) decided to switch from WinEQ 1 to WinEQ 2. Never had this issue prior. Assumed it was a WinEQ2 thing. My apologies.
