New Server issues
 

So I just setup a new server to mess around in and I've run into a problem.

I can log in and play and all that but for some reason the entire server seems to be running at like 3x speed.

I've looked into the forums a bit and saw that it might be linked to me having a dual-core processers but I've tried everything in that particular thread and none of it has worked. I've set the game to a single core affinity, still fast af. Installed and tried with RunFirst, still fast af. Tried running the game in every compatibility mode, Win 95 and 98 crash when i get to character select, everything else works but still fast af. I even set the in game max fps to 10, still fast af. I have no idea what to do about this.

It makes the game unplayable as I can barely interact with the UI and cant right click merchants at all. plus the issues with mobs zooming around and disappearing constantly. I even /played and saw that the time stated was much longer than what i had actually been on for.

Any ideas?

Only related thing i have ever heard is when using AMD cpu's they just run old games super fast. Only solution was to de-clock the cpu with some amd software.

If using intel, then no idea, I have never had a issue with them

Ok I’ll try that when I get home from work.Will update with results later tonight.

possible fix?
 

You absolute LEGEND that fixed my problem!! Thank You so much!

what was the fix out of curiosity?, as link is gone

It was an EQGraphicsDX9.dll file. Not sure what changes were made but when I replaced the one in my folder with the one they sent the problem went away.
