<p>There is a known issue in regards to the EQ2 client currently using much more system memory than it should be using currently. If you're already running on a limited amount of RAM - the game may be vying for rescources with any other programs in the background and causing a notible framerate drop.</p><p>There has been a post that a fix is currently being tested for that particular issue, should it be the case. But otherwise - can you post the necessary DxDiag and MsInfo information (instructions here) so we can check a bit further info what you're currently using?</p>
