Newb question, but just making sure...

This just help game play when 2 boxing? (acopy of EQ in background as stated in read me)

or does it help reduce cpu usage during normal game play as well?

Works for both, so that while you are medding or whatnot, you can go do other things on your computer with much less system slowdown.

Any way we can get an updated version useable after the GoD update?

Thanks!

If you're here, then you can probable compile it yourself ...

The source is here: http://teqim.sourceforge.net/downloads/ ... ce-src.zip

The 2/10 fixes are here: http://teqim.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=136

Sadly, I don't have a compiler.

Even if I did I wouldn’t know how to use it...I suck

If you run WinXP here is a small registry tweak that can possibly help while you wait for the compiled version of eqplaynice:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \System \CurrentControlSet \Control \PriorityControl]
Win32PrioritySeparation = 36 (decimal)

Meaning:
Short Quantum + Quantum is fixed and won't change for the foreground process + No foreground boost/priority

I can run multiple clients under WinXP with this setting without the background ones lagging behind.

More info here under #13:
http://snakefoot.fateback.com/tweak/win ... ml#QUANTUM

This setting gets overwritten if you fiddle around with the "Optimize Performance for applications/background" settings in control panel. In that case you have to re-apply the above. The setting given by the tweak cannot be accomplished through any combination of settings in the graphical interface.
