Having MQ performance problems after 5/5 patch

Post by tbigg » Fri May 07, 2004 1:06 am

One of the PCs I run MQ on is an old PII system with an Intel 810 graphics chip (unaccellerated). I have it optimized for macro performance (no sound, low clip plane, low res graphics, etc.) Until the last patch on 5/5, it has worked quite well, especially after Sony sorted out all the Dx9 issues.

But the last patch has caused my macro to run about 15x slower. The only plugins I have loaded are:

mq2fps (with low fps set)
mq2chatwnd
mq2itemdisplay
mq2labels

I do not notice lower performance in EQ when I have MQ unloaded, so I am assuming it is something with MQ.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks

You da man, Lax. That did it.

I'll look through the release to see if I can figure out what that did, but for now I'm happy.

New feature. All currently reported performance issues are related to this so I'm going to be looking at speeding it up a bit underneath and/or having it disabled by default.
