I am really not sure what happened, I haven't been playing as much lately but now that I want to go back , I can't even play. Even at extreme performance I am getting about 10-15 frames per second in most zones... I mean I was getting 15-20 on extreme quality a month or two ago even triple boxing!I am playing on a Asus Republic of Gamer G74Sx laptop with an i7-2630, 8Gb ram and a 3Gb GeForce 560M... my old laptop 2 years ago got better performance than this.Any ideas what I could do or what could have changed? Other games don't seem to have this performance issues, only EQ2... is there more information I can give that would help pinpoint the issue, maybe dxdiag?

I can't imagine most laptops playing EQ2 honestly. EQ2 benefits most from a fast CPU and lots of fast ram. I recently upgraded my PC. Originally I had an AMD Phenom 965 Black Edition CPU, 4gb DDR2 Ram, Nvidia GTX 470. I upgraded to:Intel Core i7-377016GB DDR3Nvidia GTX 670With my old system, I could get decent performance on High Quality, however there were certain zones that still played under 30 FPS.With my new system, the difference is incredible. I crank most settings way up, close to extreme quality. 95% of the time I am above 30 FPS.

The only hardware difference I see between ours is the ram. I have 16 gb instead of 8 gb. I'm not a tech expert by any means, but since no one else here is offering any help, I'll make two suggestions.1. Check your driver. Nvidia has upgraded laptop drivers a couple times recently. As they are updated, I believe SOE modifies the game based on the current driver. If you are more than a few versions behind you can encounter issues there. I am not even using the most current version myself, but it hasnt been more than a couple of months since I installed the one I have. I am using version 296.16. Version 301.42 is out now. I downloaded it but havent installed it yet.2. Check for background programs that might be slowing you down. I believe there is a post here somewhere that tells how to use msconfig to turn off all of your bloatware. Short version of it is type msconfig into your run box, click the start up tab, click disable all and then click apply. Reboot your computer and then click dont show this message again.The g74sx is a beast of a laptop imo and you shouldn't be having any trouble.
