Anyone happen to have further tips for specifically oldcommons (T9)?  Any other zone I can do mass pulls and no issue, but as soon as i seem to pull more than like 20ish in oldcommons half my boxes ld.  Tried additionally doing /maphide on npcs/pets and groundspawns but still bunch go to server select.

Happened to me a lot in OC and of course in SR..

Try to park your other toons a bit away from your main and let em look to the bottom … this works

Same with your main… let him look downwards while fighting big piles of mobs

Hope it helps… for me it worked wonders

(Cannot wait to come back to SR .. miss you guys lol )

Have hotkeys to turn off the views, see thread referenced above.  Works like a charm.  I use it in OC, SR, and HoS.

Old thread but still a good one-

Questions- Been off for awhile with heavy work load, when I popped back in all my boxes are loading up full graphics.  I followed the guide again just to confirm but i cant get the per loaded character memory down.

Globalload.txt is the same as it was but it seems that more things are loaded into each zone then before

Anyone else notice a change?

Is there a better global load to run back to the stripped down version for my boxes?

I am not the biggest fan of stickfigures but i could go that route i guess.

I think the old global load had almost all big mobs as human or basiclly it was original EQ content only or it superimposed a human body over the mob.

Its actually kinda funny to see what the real mobs look like after all this time haha.

Thanks in advance!

I rolled with giant humans in most zones too until this past Halloween event I lost a mag corpse in the geometry. No more humans for me.

A tip for those with lagging graphics or high gpu load

There is a Microsoft project called D3D9on12 that allows you to map directx 9 calls to use directx 12 this is an opt in driver.

https://github.com/narzoul/ForceD3D9On12

This project forces applications to use the mapping library.
Just download the release and drop the d3d9.dll into the everquest folder,

For me all graphics lag is gone, no measurable gpu load each client is 0% in taskmanager, it uses an extra 100mb of ram for me but the complete lack of stuttering makes it more than worth it

Am I reading correctly that the "only" step required for this to work, is dropping the DLL into the EQ folder and starting the client?

Correct, the d3d9on12 is already installed on windows 10/11 (by Microsoft) so the dll just forces eq to render through dx12.

Microsoft also released d3d9on12 as an open source project on git if you are curious how it works, see https://github.com/microsoft/D3D9On12

That's pretty awesome. Going to give it a try now with 24 boxes. Thanks for posting this!

I tried it, brought ram usage to about 1gb per and performance was great, but stability of clients went down. I was crashing too often so I removed it.

It didn't seem to do "anything" for me, shrug.

Everyone,

Check this link here if you have a modern PC. The old guidance on shaders and a few other things are incorrect (some stays the same) for newer PCs.
