If you wanted to keep the reduced global load settings, I suspect that stripping the zone file for that zone would fix your problem.

Change illsalina_chr.txt to
1
dke,dke

and see if that works.

That worked =D ty

My box army is freezing like non-other, and it is zone specific..  like I enter my guild instance of TOFS and i am stuck loading until I do a fuckin char mover..  wtf.

Most of these work fine on RoF2 client, didnt install anything, just select folder tweaks.  I dont like to completely gimp my clients (e.g. stick figures) but the changes i made have it at:

Memory:
Main Char: 480,000 k
Alts: 270-320,000 k each

Not sure if its on EZ's end, or EQemu.. but this freezing is making it unplayable.

In your EQ folder, check for a Log folder. Inside it, you should find an error or crash log. This will indicate if WHY you are crashing. I'm guessing it may be missing zone/map file...but who knows. Check that and let me know (or email me directly).

I have just recently received a free SSD 500gb HDD. It was an external backup drive that I have stripped of its case and plugged into my desktop directly.

I'm a little sketchy on if I should have added a Paging file on this drive?
It's currently a secondary drive ( norm - HDD main)... I've copied a version of EQ over that's cut down to this SSD to run atls from. Should I just ghost my OS to this SSD and use it as main and then run paging files on HDDs?   Still run a paging file from all drives as I do now?

Quad core 2.5 AMD
8g ram

Current system.    On (2) hdd-s 12g page file on SSD - 15g page file.

When I was running 24 clients with 6GB of memory putting the paging file on my SSD helped enormously, as you would expect.

However, you are certainly adding a tremendous amount of read/writes to the drive, likely to the same sectors. I would not be surprised at all if my SSD had a 'dead zone' imprinted in that location, though I haven't tested it extensively.

i'm sure you could look up some more technical research out there, but it comes down to how comfortable you are potentially burning out areas of the drive.

I certainly recommend getting your OS and EQ clients on the SSD.

Does the StickFigures=1 command in eqclient.ini not work for RoF2? I have a core i5 4690k with 16GB of ram and my primary account/page file is run off my SSD and running 12 accounts is laggy as hell.

EDIT: nm, i had it at the bottom of the file and it needed to be up higher

I'm currently playing on PEQ and made these changes to my secondary install. Now when I zone out of PoK, my bots can't see or target the PoK book in the destination zone. I can see it just fine on my main install.

I assume this is because I need to add something back to my GlobalLoad file, but I have no idea what. Any help?

[Pyronost]

PEQ =/= EZ. Their custom zone files are different from ours.

There is a post in forum about bird bath (Aug sealer) not showing and how to get it back. I believe this would fix your issue as well. Just need to search.

I have 6 GM RAM on my laptop...

I suck at math, but what is the precise number should I put in the page drive setting by the EXACT numbers?

Including a screenshot so I know exactly what to put in based exactly what the screenshot looks like...

Appreciate any help I can get.

[Blurring]

How many clients are you going to run?

Unless you are planning on running 18+ I think 2 x system memory should be sufficient--
Initial size: 12000
Maximum: 12000

6 clients, that's it for now.

The page file is effectively the "I ran out of RAM" space. It utilizes hard drive space instead of RAM, which is @#%@tons slower. However, full RAM and no page file = game over. Full RAM + Page File = slower, but functional. Depending on the size/function, I aim for 10-25% of the total RAM value. Since you aren't running a server with 100+ GB of RAM, I would shoot for 25% of your RAM. You said 6GB, so you could set it to something like 2048 MB (which is ~33% of your RAM value), which would give you *similar* (but not the same) to 8GB of RAM.

For 6 clients 8GB should be fine, can always up the value if you start to get crashes.

When I was running 24 clients on 6GB of memory I needed at minimum a 16GB page file, that was with fully stripped clients. There's no good X * GB of ram number to advertise as it just comes down to how much memory someone is going to need. (Which is very variable here on EZ!) Thus I always shoot high and don't have to troubleshoot crashes down the road
