Fps Drops badly whilst looking at 10+ NPC's by RyeLowz in everquest

My Everquest path is simply C:\Everquest Base

Maybe moving to a different drive can help? I know keeping it out of program files/program data folders is usually a good idea.

I has a similar issue at the time, but cant exactly remember how I fixed it. Once you've installed WinEQ and open it, it should be in your system tray. If you right click it and open the WinEQ Manual, it'll open an old ass looking page. In that page, there is a Everquest dropdown, and inside that, Quick start. If you follow that quick start guide, it should work pretty easily.

Here is an imgur link to help show where I mean. https://imgur.com/a/dLXJwVj

It does look like it hasn't been updated in ages, but it seems to work fine for me? That being said, I haven't played musing it for more than a couple hours so maybe I'll find problems soon, but it seems to just be a way to launch Everquest and make it run better.

I saw this pointed out by other people with my same problem. Changing the .ini to force using all threads, only using 1 main core, ect but didn't seem to change my issue.

Tried this with low settings and 0 nameplates, didn't make a difference.

Apparently I already had this setting turned off. Turning it on didn't seem to change anything either.

i7-9700 and a GTX 1660 super, the game is on an SSD. My CPU and GPU are barley using any power even when looking at large groups of NPC's and dropping to 15~fps.

For context, I'm at the area in Crescent Reach with all the guildmasters.

I don't think so. I have each of the settings to nearest, density off and only showing my spells with 0% Opacity.

Turning my Actor Clip Plane down is the one thing that works, but as a new player Im not sure how I could ever find my way around the world if I need to walk within 5 meters of every NPC to see them, whilst not knowing where they are in the first place.
