hitching/hiccupping/freezing/stuttering what ever you want to call it, after GU today

Brigh · 12-09-2009, 02:08 PM

Anyone else having this problem where the game just freezes for a second or few every now and then?

I didn't have this before today's update.

This started for me as well after today's update.

Any word from a dev on what the problem is and when it will be fixed?

The game froze twice for me today after the update. It's a brand new system and hasn't had any issues playing EQ since I got it a month ago until today.

I have this kind of issue, with GPU shadows on.

Before GU, i can use it without any drop in FPS, but now, movment is jerky. In North Qeynos, when i run or turn quickly the camera, i freeze for 1 second, my FPS drop to 60 to 6-16 fps, then come back to 60 - I have vertical synchronisation and triple buffering on.

By the way, in Shadows options, i cannot modify options for CPU Shadows. When I select GPU shadows, i cannot check the button to use them in interior, and no modify options. In CPU Shadows, it is the same.

My configuration is :

Corei7 860, 4Go RAM, ATI HD 4890, Catalyst driver 9.11, Win 7 Pro 64 bits.

having the same problem since lu 54...horrible in qh.....acts like it did back when the game first launched.

also when zoning im hanging at loading ui resouces for a good 20 secs....this has never happened before the update...my zoning times where always ultra fast.

Yup, hitching/stuttering for me in all zones after the update. Only way I can get around is it to turn complex shaders totally off. Its lame.
