Underfoot or better client should reduce lag on your system. Many people use two different EQ installs and only load their warrior on the first one which is likely not as stripped down.
Have all of this done. (RoF2 clients, separate installs for warrior and the 11 alts)
I think it was Blarr that put out a MQ2 file (believe its called MQ2test) load it it works wonders. It uses the /viewport command to close the screen so no graphics are shown on minimized toons.
I have this all set up as well.
Guess I'll see what can be done with the filters, thanks for the suggestions guys.
edit: have 25 filters going and lag is still horrible in qvic, I give up, guess while im farming here ill just run the warrior from the gutted installation. hopefully i wont have to spend too much time here.
edit2: lag went away when kicked 2 accounts off, guess 12 is just too much for my machine
