is this still a problem? try win 7 compatibility? i have an older i7 2600k. older z68 mobo type era with a beta uefi bios, lol, but still 4 cores and multiple gens beyond eq needs. runs win7. no OC.
i don't run in any compatibility mode.. maybe a win 7 update fixed this and other winXX did not?
i use a powershell command in my bat files.
PowerShell "ForEach($PROCESS in GET-PROCESS eqgame) { $PROCESS.ProcessorAffinity=15}"
it runs so much better when set affinity to all. based on coretemp, it definitely saves on cpu utilization when running multiple eqgame.exe. it's not just spread out evenly, but lower utilization while running same # of eqgame.exe, and lower temps across the board goes hand-in-hand.
if i could run ~6-8 before, i could probably run 10-12 before nearing cpu 80-100% utilization. it's no small difference. worth the try... fps and aspect ration can cause oddities that could be misunderstood as the multi-core cpu-problem too.
