Leatrix Latency Fix will reduce your online gaming latency significantly by increasing the frequency of TCP acknowledgements sent to the game server. For the technically minded, this is a program which will modify TCPAckFrequency.
Shit I forgot about that! Thanks a lot! Although that only tabs back and forth, it wont go through multiple characters if you box more than 2.
That is great too thanks. I keep dying and I blame it all on lag. Either my heal doesn't go through because of the previously mentioned message which sucks, or one of my alts on /follow goes running off in to the distance by himself and aggroes the world. I still haven't done the datarate fix yet but hopefully between that and this, it will fix the lag up.Leatrix Latency Fix will reduce your online gaming latency significantly by increasing the frequency of TCP acknowledgements sent to the game server.

You will see reduced latency in many online games including World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2, Diablo 3, Star Wars, Rift, Aion, Warhammer, Lord of the Rings, and more.

I still have a problem with mobs disappearing in front of me only to be 20 yards away when I turn 180 degrees. My ping to the server is normally 60ms, but the server latency bounces all over the place from 200 to 6850 depending on what zone Im currently in. At least with the datarate.txt & TCP ack mods I know that there wont be a problem on my end.
EverQuest uses UDP.
The frequency of checks the server does to see if players are within aggro radius of mobs is reduced here. That is normal/classic; I remember sneaking past mobs in dungeons just by running past them quickly. The server code was written for machines from the last millennium and looping through the mob list to check for player proximity is the bulk of the computational resource load on servers I would imagine. 'Threatening' mobs will also not aggro until you've been nearby them for awhile.
I thought that too but I can literally stand in front of them for 10 minutes. Although it only seems to happen to light blue cons. Dark blue and higher still attack as normal.
Yeah, I'm not fired up about 3 boxing to 50+. It gets tedious, and makes me wonder if I wouldn't have more fun just flying solo. As it is, I'm just going to play my SK with a cleric healbot and enchanter for buffs. If anyone wants to start grouping (or drop me some newbie gear
The 2003 PoP client is considered by many to be the Golden age of MMO gaming. If SOE were to release a Windows executable, they would need for it to provide revenue. Opening up the EQMac client to PC's is going to bring in a huge amount of players; most Rerolled.org forum-goers, for starters. This is going to further tax the hamster wheels, soup cans, and string that they are currently using to host this server. There is no way that the paltry "hardware" being used to host EQMac could support any kind of appreciable population, and why would SOE invest more money into what has already been officially established as a dead-end for profit? If the server is essentially being used as a form of marketing, as Smed purports, then that would be some expensive fucking marketing for only reaching a few hundred or couple thousand players.
It's been stated by Smed that it is kept up as a gesture of goodwill to Mac gamers so they will try out future games, or some shit.
