New user needs help getting started

Post by yilden » Fri Oct 08, 2004 9:37 am

Hello I am trying to setup two sessions of eq on one machine. I have tried it already but when I start up second session I get I dont have enough memory.

I have 1 gig in this comp of which I am using 89megs. When I open eq it uses about 500meg. Do I need to turn things down in eq to get the two to run?

Second sessions just sits in black screen.

system xp64 3400,1gig pc3200,9800 pro atlantis

Also I had reaqd something about installing two sets of eq on the hd. Do I need to do that as well? Really any info would be real helpful at this point.

Don't make another copy of EverQuest, it's bad to do that on new machines and WinEQ helps get rid of the other incentives for having another directory ;) It offers custom eqclient.ini files per profile, so you can set up each how you like.

The first thing you should do when asking for suggestions is post WinEQ.log from a playing session (it is especially helpful if you log in both accounts and experience the problem, then post the log from that). You can open the log right from the main context menu -- right click, select "WinEQ.log". The log contains information about your current set of graphics options and how much memory it expects to be using with those options.

Finally, go here http://www.lavishsoft.com/?p=faq and read the 3rd item down (it specifically addresses how to minimize your EQ memory usage, and has a nice table for you to look at). You may not need to turn things down very far to 2-box on your machine, provided you are not running extra programs.

Your settings are fairly low already, except for luclin models. You should disable some or all of them. Generally for multiboxing I recommend having only the necessary luclin models on.. for example, your race + horse. You may be able to get by just by getting rid of some rarely used ones -- iksar, ogre, troll, etc.

Did you experience the black screen issue during this log? The log seems to show that you were ok during it. If you continue to have a problem after reducing your models, post me a log from a black screen and I'll see what I can do for you

OK went in and turned models down on Luclin. Now I am not using anyw here near the amount of memory. Have both sessions up and switching between like a charm.

Now is the Full screen mode(windowed mode) only available for the subscribers? Cant seem to get them to come up to anything bigger than about half size.

Also I seen the pics of having them tiled on half size horizontal or vertical that an option for us non subscribers?

Hehe looks like I may just be subscribing looks like a pretty cool tool if I can figure out what all it has to offer.

Your performance is hurting because you are using up all of your available memory.

This is what you have left, right when you start up your second EQ:
Available System Physical RAM: 49MB/1022MB. Load 95%

Your video RAM also gets depleted.

Basically an entire EQ is being placed in virtual memory on your hard drive, rather than physical memory, which is some hundreds of times slower.
--- Begin EQ Graphics Settings ---
Luclin models: 29 (+118 min RAM)
Social Animations: ON (+0 min RAM)
Sound: ON (+12 min RAM)
Dynamic Lighting: ON (+0 min RAM)
Texture Quality: MEDIUM (+22 min RAM)
Calculated minimum RAM: 352MB (BASE+152MB)
My recommendation is to lower this first of all. You should turn off unnecessary luclin models. The only ones you could really NEED are your race + horse. If you like the models, you can turn off ones that arent that great and are rare anyway, like ogre, troll, iksar. You can also try setting texture quality to low. To try to save on video RAM, you could turn on texture compression.

Your first EQ session starts with this:
Available System Physical RAM: 711MB/1022MB. Load 30%
So you're already using up about a third of your RAM before you even start playing. You can shut down some programs in order to lower that number a bit.

You're still going to run out of video RAM, so what you need to do is set your AGP Aperture to 256MB in BIOS. Step by step guides are available here: http://www.lavishsoft.com/?p=bios

After you do that, you'll just eat up more system RAM once your video card's RAM runs out. What you really need in the long run is more system memory.
