Game play issue

[Kafter]

I am having trouble with my game play and i feel like i have tried changing every spec in game. Basically what happens is ill be playing normally and then my Bot and pets will move but they are frozen in the same pose. Same with my character, it says im sitting but my character is in like half sit half standing. Then my game play seems choppy but its not lag. I was told it may be a dual core processor issue but i cant find anything in the forums. Any help would be appreciated.

I am playing on a laptop and using windows vista

My specs are:

Processor: AMD turion(tm) 64 x2 mobile technology TL 2.00ghz
Ram: 3 gb
Memory: 2048 MB
System type 32 bit
Video card: ATI radeon x1200 series

Thanks for taking the time to help

Definitely sounds like a dual core issue. What you want to try is this:

Start everquest.

Pull up your task manager (ctrl-alt-del -> task manager)

Find eqgame.exe in the processes and right click on it.

Select "Set Affinity", and unclick boxes until you have one left.

What this does is changes the processor computing to only use one processor to run EQ. Similar issues seem to run rampant with amd processors, or quad core processors.

Good luck.

That seemed to fix them freezing in a pose, but every once in a while i will go in slow-motion and then it will fix itself and be normal agian. I have tried fooling around with the frames per second toggle in the options menu and it seems to get worse when i increase that but still happens when i decrease it. Any other thoughts?

if your vid card has anti alliasing checked yes then turn it off...eq is an old game and such doesnt have use for it.

Ive found that alot of older games run alot smoother if I turn that off.

Hopefully, the previously suggested solutions have allowed you to solve this problem by now, but checking for the latest drivers from the notebook manufacturer is a good idea or perhaps, ATI/AMD may have a newer driver release for your integrated GPU. I advise being careful using the reference driver directly from AMD though--a handful of notebooks will not work well with anything other than the "official" OEM driver.
