I've just this last couple of days been experimenting with using WinEQ2 as a replacement to EQW 2.47. I run three computers, usually with 2 EQ characters per box.
So far I like what I see in WinEQ 2.08 (better windowing, better use of ram, no problems with sticking keys, 32bit colour etc) but I've found that on my main computer WinEQ2 is having *massive* video lag trouble.
When I zone I get 2-4 minutes of insane lag (video drops to ~5fps) and after that settles down to act normally. (I dont have this trouble when I run eqgame.exe or EQW). I suspect it is related to texture caching.
I am keen to swap to using WinEQ full time if this can be resolved. Can you suggest a solution please?
Regards,
