EQ not spreading across CPU Threads

    Sorry for bumping an old thread. I have checked that Everquest is spreading the load sorta evenly across the CPUs. However, no matter what I do, Everquest doesn't want to exceed 25% CPU usage (I have 4 cores). Is there some hidden setting preventing Everquest from utilizing more CPU? I've tried to remove the frame rate limiters, which has no effect.

    you need to add the line ClientCore=-1 to the eqclient.ini to make it run multicore, the old cpuaffinity thing changed some months ago.

    also eq is sort of cpu light atm, mine uses less than 1/8th the cpu when running 2 clients.

    when you look at task manager does it show activity on all the cores??

    And if you're idle, are you in the lobby among a ton of other toons? (Raids and lobby are my highest CPU usage.)
