OK, I ran two experiments...
First, I disabled all of my Luclin models except for the Vah Shir ones which cannot be disabled... Then I tried to connect again... Things loaded a lot faster (still a little slow, but not too bad), but I still got disconnected.
Then the second experiment... I tried to completely minimize my CPU usage as much as possible by closing down all unnecessary programs running in the background on my system, minimizing all windows to the task bar, restricting my frame rate to 30fps, and only running ONE Zone9x.exe rather than all five. This worked pretty well... Lasted 15 minutes before I got disconnected
. Actually, 15 minutes is a comparitively long time.
So, I thik it's safe to say that this problem I'm having is totally a result of the fact that my proccessor is a slow ass piece of obsolete shit. So until either A: I get a new computer (wich may not be for another 6-12 months), or B: the dev team finds and implements a way to make the entire EQEMu system less CPU intensive, then I guess I'm just shit outta luck.
So it's back to EQLive for me until on of those two things happens, but I'll probably pop in on occassion to see what's new
To everyone who has helped me with any or all of my numerous problems trying to get this to work for me, thank you!!! Sincerely, thank you.
Good luck to the dev team, the world builders, and the players of EQEMu, may you all have far better luck than me
.
Take Care Everyone,
