I too am having the same problem, a slight workaround is if your setup is like mine, VS 6.0, don't build it as a Release, make a Debug build, that helped stabilize the left-hand ping. If I did a Release build, the left hand number bounces around like crazy between 60-200, whereas Debug build keeps it pretty steady between 120-130 without jumping around alot. (I also set the Byte Alignment from 8 to 1).

Exactly what ive been seeing, Debug build seems to be more stable but still real laggy. Release build is very very laggy. I don't understand it. At least i know im not crazy....

VS.NET compile as 'release' seems fine other than an occassional hard crash (usually caused by me forgetting and typing /charinfo) ....

Didn't someone post a fix for /charinfo? Otherwise, I suggest we modify EQLib.cpp and make that command EQ rather than MQ.

/charinfo works with the latest CVS source

Having some problems with this.

CVS Compile, eqgame.ini from CVS... most of the time /who works, but sometimes, VERY RARE times like 1 out of 10 /whos kicks me to desktop.

CVS might not have the latest _spawninfo struct.

If you are up to it, edit MQ.h and update that struct from the last post of mine in the dev board.

I've never had any problems with lag. No problems crashing either since I've been using the latest MQ.h found in the developers forum. I use VS.NET with no special compile options.

Ok, edited it by hand, compiled, testing now.

Somehow I think this is a VS6 issue. Since I've compiled with .net it works fine.

I agree with Jaerin... .NET compile in release mode works perfectly with no lag problems whatsoever.

So what's the difference between VC 6 and VC 7 that is causing the lag?

It's not a compiler issue either, unless I'm really lucky, I've been compiling with VS6 in debug mode all along, with no lag whatsoever, just gotten Visual Studio .net 2003 and will try that, but my cursory glance at it yesterday gave me a unable to find detours.dll before I had to go home for the day.

I compile with vs .net using the precompiled detours.lib and using the detours.h provided by microsoft. I do not see any of the problems mentioned. Also I use the standard source from CVS and I'm running on XP and 98.

Thanks

I should add that I am also using detours.lib from the distro, I am not compiling it myself. Works like a charm under XP.

Just noticed the problem hapening on my machine today. I had not noticed the lag originaly but now I see it. The status number on the left is updating like crazy until I unload MQ. Disregard my last post I just had not been watching for the right thing.

i get the same jumpy numbers too...doesn't bother me that much cause they stay less than 130. It is probly much much worse for people with 56k or less
