EQ2Map causing FPS to decrease.

Hi.

I recently returned to EQ2 after a couple months and have been trying to get rid of anything that will hinder my FPS.

I downloaded EQ2 map last week and everything was fine. For five minutes. After that, my FPS dropped by around 10 no matter where i went. I tried logging out and back in, and that fixed my FPS problem. For five minutes.

I usually get around 30 almost everywhere, but with EQ2Map i get barely 20.

Is this just something with EQ2Map? or is it me?

I would really like to use this, but if i have to take that big of a hit on my FPS then i'll have to live without it.

Keep in mind your comp is having to render/display a lot more information when using EQ2MAPs vs the default map.

Also with EQ2MAP you have all the zones loaded vs a hand full. So it does use more resources then the default map. So it is quite feasible that it will drop your FPS some but never figured 10+.

Before removing eq2map, I would take a look at the following post...

I have used that guide many times.

Well, i decided to try to find this problem one more time.

I downloaded Profit UI (with EQ2Map) instead of using default, and my FPS is higher than ever.

Thanks for the help!
