Problem With Auto Follow

[halycon85]

I was wondering if someone can help me with my config. I'm having a problem with auto follow in EQ2. I am running split screen monitors with one session up in each screen. When I try to put on character on auto follow he pretty much just takes off running in a circle and runs around the character he is suppose to be following. Any advice?

Generally the problem with autofollowing when playing multiple on the same computer is that one session is going fast, and the other(s) slow. What you need to do is bump up the speed for the background sessions. Looking at my settings, it's showing background limit of 20 in CPU limiting mode. Basically what this means is it's going to be running at less than 20 frames per second in the background (probably closer to 14-15), which is probably too slow for autofollow. I would set it to about 30 to 35 for background, and keep CPU limiting mode. 40 is fine for foreground, in FPS limiting mode.

Thanks Lax, that did it
