Way(s) to minimize lag?

« on: July 28, 2012, 12:16:34 am »

I have 16gigs of ddr3 1666mhz memory, 1 MSI 560GTX-TI overlock Twin-frozr II video card, a amd fx-6100 "bull-dozer" 6-core 3.3 ghz processor and a 2 tb hard drive.

I have set all my settings to the lowest possible on Everquest and for some reason when I load 12 toons and start killing bosses I get choppy lag even with spell particles off.

Anyone got some advice please?

Next time I'd suggest the search feature! Tongue

With your machine and the settings in the post I'm guessing you could easily 20+ Box.. if you wanted to.. I wouldn't suggest that many though. Gets very annoying boxing anything over 12 IMO

Try running /viewport 1 1 1 1 on all your boxes

You can reset it by doing /viewport reset

It makes it so that You can literally see nothing, everything game view is just black screen minus the UI. This works great and is also depicted in a previously posted info about how to box many or reduce lag. Great tip tho, I use it often, I believe someone even created a MQ2 plugin that'll do it to any session of eq that has mq2 running and is not active. I think the plugin name is mq2test try searching for that through the forums and you will find it. Best of luck.

I actually restarted my computer last night after playing 30secs of a round on blacklight retribution with my cousin because it was lagging hardcore and which it wasnt earlier.. after I did so I loaded 19 with no problem what so ever not even touching this method. Thanks though for the help!
