The issue I have that irritates me most is the "casting bar lag". Tonight we couldn't even finish the x2 because the lag was so bad. I'd really like to see this fixed. We can all turn our graphics settings down or get new pc gear. Nothing is going to help server side lag except fixing the servers.

High Quality is a horrible setting, all I have to do is put GPU shadow or turn off shadow to boost my FPS to 30ish, though I don't know why you put it in first person as I don't know anyone at all who plays in first person view & I actually got more FPS (15-18 when I came into 3rd person view. There are a load of other things associated with High Quality setting that are just absurd to be honest, but those were the benchmark setting so there you go. On my custom settings (where some settings are actually higher than the High Quality) I run about 45-50ish FPS constantly.

[Alvane]

Since the game has been up again, I can say performance has been the worse I have ever seen it over the past  5 years.

1. Adjusting gamma does nothing to the game. I am hardly playing anymore because the game is so dark and I cannot lighten it up using the option choices. Yes, everying is up to date including Direct X. - please see my post.

2. FPS is extremely inconsistent, regardless if hardly anyone is in the area/zone or it's got a crowd of 30 people. Before the security issues, my FPS ran generally around 35-45. Sometimes it would drop for a while, but would get better and stay consistent. Now, I can range anywhere from 6 to 55 in a NY second - and that is constant changing. So the FPS might be at 35 for one minute, then next second drop down to 20, then down to 10, 9, 6, then maybe up to 10-12. It would get so bad, I couldn't play much.

I have decreased many settings through options in hopes even playing bare base would make a difference. But alas, it has no effect.

- everything turned on, except shader 3.0 (graphics glitches, black textures etc.)

- MSAA off

- gpu-shadows maxed, but cpu-shadow (also maxed) if indoors

- particle effects / character: set to 1, everything else will give you a headache during grp/raid

- all sliders to maximum, except "Number of Lights" under "Lighting"

Overall found problem with lights:

Number of lights dont affect the visibility of lights, but the corona around them. So having the slider set to 1 light only doesnt affect the lights to appear/disappear, only coronas will show up, which you probably wont even notice much.

Framerate impact is pretty silly atm, best example is if you look down the whirling book stairs in Library of Erudin, with my system following numbers:

- 1 light: 82fps

- 2 lights: 53fps (only 1 additional "corona", no noticable difference in graphics quality but such a big impact!)

- 3 lights: 23fps (same here)

- 4 lights+: under 15fps

since you can set the slider up to 30 lights there wont be a system the next 10years to handle this, if you dont change how lights will actually work way more effective......

Also strange: number of lights affect the distance from which you see static lights, like torches.

Another example:

In Necrotic Asylum after the crystal cave there is a bridge leading to Vauth the Suffragan, the access has a skull with 2 torches lighting the path.

The higher you set the number of lights there the sooner you will actually see the effect, but without increasing/decreasing the actual number of lights. This has to be a bug, since the range of lights shouldnt be affected, they are either there or not.

Plus, if you get closer to a lightsource you wont notice a slow increasing gloom around you, but you actually end  up having a light around you if you go 1 step further (or zoom in one more bit), if you go 1 step back the light is gone.

There is no fluent radiance, its just like you turn on/off a lamp - maybe you can fix this as well.

Why does this game perform so badly?? Considering the engine is almost 10 years old (with some minor updates) A system like mine should be holding 200+ FPS solid. Is the engine that inefficient?

I'm posting because i'm trying to find out why my new video card (which is supposed to be far supperior over my 2 year old video card that burnt out (NVIDIA 9800), this weekend is performing so bad - 15 to 30 fps less on all settings and zones with no other hardware changes except a more powerful power unit; also did full ad-spyware crap and all that junk as well).

FPS low as 1 in teir 3 guildhall on Guk and tier 1 guild hall on AB most times am surprised if I get over 10. at extreme performance

depending on where I am and what time can get maybe 15-20 fps. and this when I have game set at extreme performance

Before AoD and F2P hit I was averaging 25-30 IIRC. not the greatest but could move around and coudl some times go to  very high or even high performance and still get around and into my t3 guild hall to craft on Guk.

I don't dare try any rush orders in the tier 3 guild hall on guk now.

just got that out of memory error message trying to get into my AB Tier 1 guild hall a second time this week. when are you going to fix it? I did not have this trouble before the AoD expansion hit.

There is no good reason this should be so low. It should be easily double or triple. and beyond that should not be out of the question.

Not everyone has a high performance CPU or GPU. I understand this. We shoudl have the option or ability to make much better use of our hardware.

Let everyone know what kind of performance you're getting in Everquest 2!

My information and results:Processor: Pentium IV 3.00 GHz (Enhanced)

Ram: 1.50 GB; 2.99 GHz (approx.)

Graphics Card: Chaintech GeForce FX-5200 128 MB DDR VRAM (for the longest time, this was more than enough to run EQ2 fairly well, and was not even an issue for World of Warcraft, which worked just fine at this level)

Operating System: Windows XP

Screen Resolution: 1024 x 768 60 Hz

Frames Per Second: 3 to 5, on average; I rejoice when I'm up to double-digits.  And yes, this has actually decreased a little since the whole new, more complex login screens bit went up (including the leaving of Launchpad on [it has NEVER dropped of its own accord for me since the new login; I've always had to shut it off manually using Windows Task Manager], and the inappropriately-named AwesomiumProcess.exe).  On the plus side, since I usually run at Balanced or High Performance with Reflections turned on (but nothing else like Flora or anything; it usually runs at Custom), at least now I'm getting shadows for the first time with this benchmark. With regular usage, Virtual Memory Too Low warnings keep cropping up, even more than they did in the past.  I would've chalked it up to higher minimums for the new expansion (even though we've been assured the minimum reqs would not increase to an untenable level), but apparently, even folks with the latest and greatest systems are having issues. :-/

Just now, the Windows Task Manager (which I leave up on a regular basis now) indicated that EverQuest2, on its own, was gobbling up over 1 million K in Mem Usage, which crashed the game and spawned many a Critical Error message regarding memory usage (for the second night in a row, while on Test Server, I got 6 Critical Error messages to 1 EverQuest2 on my Taskbar and had to shut down the game [under "Close Group"]).  In the past, EverQuest2 had maintained its Mem Usage at a few dozen K without increasing, but even with LaunchPad.exe and Awesomium.exe off (and had been for hours), there seems to be an odd "build-up" of memory usage (or memory leakage?).  Why?

Good thing I'm not paying you guys by the hour for this game; I used to be able to play great marathons, but now it seems I'll be restricted to an hour or two if I don't want to reboot on a regular basis.  In essence, the game is becoming literally unplayable for me, which is a shame.

Uwk

P.S. I'll have to admit, I'm not sure what other settings could be affecting this; I have the whole list available if anyone's interested.  Just noticed this tonight: I'd gotten as far as the Character Select screen, and the Mem Usage just for EverQuest2 was over 730,000 K, until I killed AwesomiumProcess.exe and (mistakenly) LaunchPad.exe.  My Mem Usage plummeted!  It was great!  On the other hand, when I tried to come in with a character, it booted me out of the game.  D'oh.  Next time, I'll see if I can get rid of "Awesomium" and still get in.  I adjusted some other graphics settings, hoping that would help my Mem Usage, restarted,  killed "Awesomium" and LaunchPad the minute my character was in the world, and it didn't help my Mem Usage at all; it was up to over 800,000 K and climbing. On the plus side, adjusting the graphics settings in more detail did help my FPS a tad.  Can't wait until I can see double-digits there! --U.

P.P.S. That change of a few graphics settings under Options didn't do much; got the Critical Errors again tonight.  Hope I can figure this out before Erollisi Day is over. --U.

Honestly I'm shocked the FPS is that high. I cannot play on this machine anymore without absolute minimum settings AND with a macro made to turn every particle effect off. I have to be sat out in some raid fights because this machine can't handle them. Other times I'm running 2-5 FPS. Yes, with bare minumum settings.

I take really good care of this computer, and it's frustrating to see how this game has become almost unplayable despite having a clean machine. It used to run just fine with "Balanced" mode two years ago, and now I wouldn't ever dream of turning it up that high. Has the game really been messed up that badly since then? I mean, this is so bad I am now having to consider buying a whole new gaming laptop just because my main game, EQII, can't be run on this current one anymore. Sure I can play other games if I upgrade too, but come on...

I know my computer needs a upgrade and im hoping too soon i got a computer build that should run eq2 on max settings with 50+ constant fps

25 fps at moors dock at the most graphically intense spot. Running graphics at extreme quality and switched to gpu shadows. I think some of the optional stuff like sun rays are set on too. Everywhere else I'm running 40-60 fps. Great performance for a fairly cheap build. If you have more money to spend the only upgrades I would suggest would be a motherboard that can overclock and an i5 2500k or 3570k. An SSD would be nice too.

FPS: 53

Lowest FPS is in Paineel moving around where it drops to around 8 or 9

Mind you, I modify the heck out of operating system and game settings like using /app_cache_never_low_mem.  All textures to maximum, all settings to maximum and all special features like godrays.

Well when I run the game in high settings I can have 35 fps looking in one direction, then turn around and have only 17fps. There is too bad performance on this game, its not very optimized for modern computers. In Lotro I can run it in Ultra and never go below 25fps anywhere.

And aldo Eq2 looks bland in balanced and lower settings, so for me its not very easy to keep playing for longer periods, as the performance usually leaves me annoyed.

When your frames drop from turning or moving is from texture loading. Play the game on a SSD drive and you'll see much more stable frame rates. I recently upped mine to a SSD and it's made a world of difference.
