Sluggish gameplay in EQ since installing Window EQ 2.0

twilitemoon · Post by **twilitemoon** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 6:36 am

I recently installed Window EQ 2.0, and since then, each time I play EQ, my character moves painfully slow, as if the program is running sluggishly. Further, everytime I log on, the screen resolution changes, even if I change the resolution in game, and then camp. Right now, I'm more concerned with the sluggish gameplay. I would like to remedy this problem, as it makes playing almost unbearable. If anyone could please help me, I will be most appreciative. Is there something I should do? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

System Info is as follows:

Your paste seems to be incomplete in these two places. There should be another 5 lines or so for the EQPlayNice information, and there should be more information on the Windows Version line.

As far as the resolution problem, it sounds like the game itself might be in full screen mode sometimes and not others. Try hitting alt+enter or disabling it in the in-game options window, and see if that changes anything for you.
