Odd Problem?

I do not know how to describe this possible problem so I could not search for it. I did do some looking at the forums and didn't see anything, so here it goes....

Me and my girlfriend both installed the game last night. She's playing on a laptop that isn't like anything insanely powerful, but this game isn't that intensive anyway.

Anyway, the game is fine on my computer, on hers though, so weird stuff happened when she started in Surefall.

Now, bear with me please...

The NPCs started to bend backwards until their heads warped through their legs and they started getting large. She was unable to open doors, the sky was skipping and she was getting booted off when she zoned.

I think the problem is she is on wireless internet, but I'm just a Desktop Support Technician, what do I know......

What do ya'll think? Like I said, it's a HP laptop running Vista (guess that could be the problem too?) with an onboard graphics accelerator, P4 and 1gb of DDR2 RAM. It should be fine because I ran EQ back in the day with a computer WAAAAAY less powerful than that...
 
She does. I don't fully understand what to do though. I have to download imagecfg.exe and install it into the SoD folder>?
 
What type of laptop is it? My girlfriend had an HP Pavilion that had an AMD processor in it and she had to install the AMD patch to fix it.
 
HP Pavillion DV 9000. And it is an AMD, not sure why I said it was a Pentium earlier....
Is there a patch somwhere?
 
AMD Dual-Core Optimizer Version 1.1.4 - The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer can help improve some PC gaming video performance by compensating for those applications that bypass the Windows API for timing by directly using the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction. Applications that rely on RDTSC do not benefit from the logic in the operating system to properly account for the affect of power management mechanisms on the rate at which a processor core's Time Stamp Counter (TSC) is incremented. The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer helps to correct the resulting video performance effects or other incorrect timing effects that these applications may experience on dual-core processor systems, by periodically adjusting the core time-stamp-counters, so that they are synchronized.

I thank you for yoru responses and help. The above fix did not work. Anyone got anything else up their sleeves? :confused:

Then use imagecfg instead. Download it and place it inside your EQ folder, then open your comand prompt, change the directory to your EQ folder and run the command that's listed in the post I linked earlier.
 
  1. download the imagecfg.exe tool from here
  2. unzip the tool in your EQ folder
  3. open a command prompt and go to your EQ folder
  4. type: imagecfg -a 0x1 eqgame.exe
  5. close the commend prompt window.
  6. SoD is now "patched" to run on the virtual CPU 0 only when started.
 
I downloaded it and placed it in the EQ-SoD folder. However, the problem is not resolved. I am not sure where I am supposed to do the "Replace n with the CPU youwant the process to use"at.

Ok, so that fixed the whole "NPCs bend backwards and expand" issue. She still "jumps" around the world, it skips. Im still thinking thats cause of wireless.

Thank you so much for all of your help!
