Hi Witchcraft.Sorry to hear you're having FPS issues.  But it does sound that you may perhaps be in the same boat with me.<img src="/eq2/images/smilies/136dd33cba83140c7ce38db096d05aed.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />I too have Comcrapt as my ISP and my game has been lagging and suffering low FPS starting a couple weeks ago.You can see my thread here: <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=417837" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=417837</a>Harleygjc is also experiencing similar problems and his thread is here: <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?start=15&topic_id=416701" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=416701</a>If you suspect your connection may be the culprit, the CSRs here will surely ask you to perform and post a tracert and a pathping from your computer to your server.Simply type, tracert yourserver.everquest2.com and pathping yourserver.everquest2.com   Ex. tracert crushbone.everquest2.comFor more detailed instructions see the CSRs' thread at: <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=353617" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=353617</a>Sorry I can't give you the solution but at least I hope that helped get you pointed in the right way. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/ed515dbff23a0ee3241dcc0a601c9ed6.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

Greetings <span class="name">Witchcraft,Has this always been an issue on that computer or did this just start happening?  I'm looking at the specs for that computer and I can see how it may have some problems with the game.  While the CPU is recent, it's a dual core with a fairly low FSB.  Also, I believe that graphics card tops out at 64 MB of video memory.You may want to post your dxdiag/msinfo results so we can have a better look since I'm going off memory and a dell catalog right now.</span>
