Spell clock goes too fast

[arthemis1er]

<p>Hi everyone, Tech support.</p><p>I dont know where to put this request as it is probably not related to my connexion which is stable (300ms steady ping, 0 loss) , nor graphical (100 average FPS and no glitch).</p><p>The problem is that when i use a spell of let say a recast time of 2 minutes, the timer will start to run @ 1 minute 45 seconds (instead of 2 minutes), will decrease at a fast pace to 1 minutes then resets to 1 minutes 20, then decrease again down to 0 but i wont be able to use that spell again for 10 secondes. The real time being 2 minutes, i cannot use the spell before 2 minutes but it is very disturbing to see the icon fill up and stays dark with a timer @ 0. This goes the same to spell effect duration (timer goes fast but icon stays for a few more seconds once it's down to 0 )</p><p>As you can imagine this is very disturbing in term of gameplay.</p><p>I have tried driver update with latest or older no change. It is true that the only change in my configuration is the graphic card but i haven't seen any issue like that in any other game (but none of them has such filling up icon so who knows, yet the timer starting at a lower time does not seems graphic related)</p><p>No o/c for the CPU and GPU (as it might be clock related) and my CPU do not have HT but it's multicore (E8500)</p><p>If anyone has an idea, i'll gladly take it.</p>

<p>300ms isn't disconnect high, but it could be considered laggy.</p><p>Can't say with certainty that this is the cause of your issue without a bit more testing.  Would you mind opening a support ticket and PMing me the incident number?  We'll run through some tests together.</p>

<p>Ticket opened and PM sent. Thanks for your support.</p><p>Side note: i have from time to time a better ping but that does not seems to change the problem.</p>

<p>Im out of the office at the moment but another tech may pick you up before I get in.  In any case, help is on it's way!</p>

<p>Still no solutions.</p><p>We have checked a lot of thing including reinstall of EQ2 with no luck.</p><p>My next step will be different graphic card and after reinstall of OS...</p>

<p>Finally found the issue of this weird bug : it looks like it was some settings in my Bios that was overclocking my graphic card by default. After loading fail safe (might not be optimize but hey...) i dont have the spells clock doing weird thing and can rely on the icon to know if a spell can be used or not and when it can be reused</p>
