over the past few days i have been experiencing random zone freezes. usually when i am fighting or changing directions quickly. the screen freezes for 5-10 seconds then resumes as normal. the problem is when kiting mobs or getting ready to pull that freeze is usually fatal. it started just after the last patch and has been getting worse since. usually happens within first few minutes after starting to fight. first few pulls no problem then the freezes start randomly usually when i am moving. but has also happend in zones where i was just standing sill. i was duel boxxing a few times and only my main computer seemed to be affected and internet did not seem to be the issue. the second computer is a much slower processor so lags most the time. but it has not had the freezing problem at the same time as the main.
If you run a multi-core machine, try setting eqgame.exe to run across all cores. Open the Task Manager, go to Processes, find eqgame.exe, right click, then left click set affinity. Set it to run across all cores. I do this and set the priority to high on both instances when I two box, and this solved the problem for me. Also make sure your graphics card drivers are up to date.
