Performance issues on Win7 (build 7100)

[Fraglander.be]

<p>Hey guys, I reinstalled EQ2 after a few months of absence (during which I also reinstalled windows), but now even on high performance, I don't get a decent framerate (in fact, I'm lucky if I reach 5fps, standing still)</p><p>I have an Intel Core Duo (T7200 @2.00ghz), with 3Gb of RAM and an ATI Mobility Radeon X1400. Anyone have an idea how I could  tweak my performance? (it ran fine when I was still running vista btw)</p>

<p>Verify you have the best win7 drivers is about all I can say.</p><p>My game barely ran and crashed non-stop until a win7 sound driver finally came around.</p>

<p>Have to agree with Yimway... I have been running Win 7 now as my main os for over a month now and have had little problems.  All my games installed and play well.  Make sure you hunt down a good set of drivers.</p>

<p>Even with the latest drivers, I have poorer performance with EQ2 in Windows 7 than I do in Vista. With the same settings I see an average of 5-7 less fps in Windows 7. My system isn't that fancy, I run at 25-35 fps generally (outside guild halls). I'd like a better rig, but times are tough right now.</p><p>I have high hopes for the OS in time, but it is my feeling that currently the 'compatibility' features are not working as well as they could be yet.</p>
