Between wife and myself, we have 4 computers we play on. The patch did not give us weird looking graphics bugs. Didn't give us dark screens. Did give us extra lag and crazy zone times. Went from 25-30 secs to zone to 3 to 5 mins to zone. Deleted eqclient.ini and repatched. This seemed to help with some of the lag, but did nothing for the zone times. Lag still noticeable, mostly when trying to run while levitating, and trying to use /follow. /follow is COMPLETELY broken, the toons following do not even try, they don't even move, just instantly say target too far away, no longer following. Is anyone else experiencing this? Advice, plz/thx.
If you reset your eqclient.ini then double check your foreground and background FPS settings under advanced graphics. Alt + O -> display -> Advanced graphics button For maximum performance you want to drag the sliders all the way to the right ( MAX ). By default the game sets the background FPS low which drops cpu usage for clients when you are alt tab'ed out, but , it also effects things like follow.
