I just wonder how much a streaming client will change the client's structure, and if Amadeus has worked on it while it's been on test.
EQ2Bot, EQ2Harvest & Craft were all functional last night (12/10) at 11pm cst, confirmed on multiple toons, working with the new LU. Everything is running as it always has. I saw no change in dps, no change in time to do rush writs and the harvest bot is ... the harvest bot
Even better, it appears the memory issues were resolved as well. For the first time since the 'ugly update' that killed performance, none of my windows exceeded their normally memory use. All my lag and performance issues are resolved.
THANKS DEVS!
All is working as it was on the UK servers.
The game client itself seems to be more stable now, but I am still getting ever-increasing memory use that I /do not/ get when using just the client alone, but get constantly using isxeq2. It's not as bad as pre-patch but it's still happening all the same.
8 gig memory, multiple sessions, higher gfx settings than minimal, so I see the memory usage climb on all sessions till it ends up causing thrashing to block the OS.
I hate to say it but I would diagnose that as a leak in the isxeq2 part of things, if that's possible.

Since I just ran a 6 hour session, 4 toons, one a nearly max settings, on 4 gigs of memory, vista 32 bit, and no issues other then some longer load times as time went by. Which by the way, happens without ISX loaded as well.

When you load ISX, look at the console, what is it saying?

I'm using the exe from the 9th not the 10th if that helps.

Ok, I followed the link and used the .exe from 12/9 and that worked...thanks guys. One thing though...now my bot window is up in the upper right corner of my screen and I cannot drag it down or minimize or close...any ideas? I tried full screen and it simply disappears so I am at a loss...I wouldn't normally care, but I need to see that part of the screen on my main window..lol.

Make sure the EQ2BOT window is open and either run
Code:
UIElement[EQ2 Bot]:Reset
Code:
run uiresetI don't fully understand the sentence, it seems incomplete, or like you're answering some question I didn't ask.
I'm unable to run a session for 6 hours without having to restart the client from scratch, IF I use innerspace to launch it. Launching using just SoE, it is fine.
I would like to point out, I didn't come here and post this for the fun of it, I posted it because it's a problem I'm experiencing. I've no reason to make it up. It's what is happening on my system, and in most regards I'm happy with innerspace + isxeq2.
I'm running win7 64.
I noticed just now that when I do C+A+D, and bring up taskmaster, the memory(private) initially showed up as half a gig more on each eq2 process, and the system locked up for a few seconds, and then the memory usage by each process dropped by half a gig, back down to around 1gig per process. Those sessions were only running for about 1h, cos I'd had to restart them about that long ago.
Now sitting here typing this, the memory (private) for each process is just going up each second by a few 100k, while I am doing nothing in game at all.
One of them has climbed about 1/10 of a gig just while I wrote this, and did some random web stuff.
So .. maybe something caused the working set to get flushed there, I dunno. Maybe win7 works different to vista, I dunno. maybe 64 works different to 32, I dunno. What I do know is I'm still getting constant memory usage up beyond reasonable numbers, and eventually the system goes into a pathological swap state, and becomes unresponsive, etc.
Your disbelief doesn't seem to have solved the problem. Maybe there's something more useful you could suggest?

That what I get for posting while drinking and paying more attention to a movie then the keyboard.
What I was trying to say, is I'm running without any issues at all with the above settings. I exclusively launch using ISboxer through IS.
I'm not accusing you of making anything up, nor of whining, I'm simply pointing out that it seems to work perfectly for me. Your issues may be related to windows 7, how much memory you have, other programs you are running, or any of a host of other things that I'm not smart enough to figure out. Which is why I posted specs of what I'm running that it runs fine on.
Sorry, I was being over-defensive. I've had a few "you're doing something wrong" replies before, when I wasn't.
Since I last posted, I left 3 sessions running, all around 1 gig. I just now checked back here, hit c+a+d, ran taskmanager. Each session was on 1.5 gig, and immediately the system locked all 3 sessions, and dumped their presumably un-used memory, thrashed the disk, returned to responsive, and each dropped back down to under 1 gig. Since it's releasing it doesn't seem as if it'd be a leak, but why it isn't releasing under normal use I can't understand.
I don't use isboxer, only innerspace + isxeq2.

I don't think it's directly related to Win7 or 64 bit.
For the fun of it, I put 7 EQ2 sessions on my 1 computer (8 gig of ram) for.. at least 5 hours. I didn't experience any "extra" lag from time.
This may or may not be related, but that computer does nothing but eq2. It has no filesharing installed, no instant messagers etc etc.
If you can make it crash, a crash report may direct you to where the problem is, be IS, ISXEQ2, EQ2, or a driver (be sound, audio, or something else).
With Vista, I had an audio driver that would cause me to crash, maybe once every 2-3 days. Crash report is how I found how what was causing it.

when I am running EQ2 that's all this pc does, also. I like to keep my pc clean and free of junk, and I am the kind of person who regularly looks down the process list to check there's nothing there I don't know about, and want running right now.
The game doesn't crash, it uses up all memory until the pc deadlocks cos it's swapping all the time and stops functioning.

You are the man Bob!! Thanks so much.. run uireset did the trick.
It's not just you i have the same problem. I can sit there even with just one client and watch the process memory usage and it slowely increases never decreases overtime my client can get up to 4g or more of memory usage at which point i am forced to reload the client because it bugs out and i loose my ui and start to loose in game graphics. I'm not sure what is causing this but it does not do it with the plain client only with innerspace and isxeq2. I am running windows 7 pro 64bit. Now heres the twist I have a 2nd PC exact same specs on 2nd PC (Quad Core, 8g Ram, hd 4870 VC) the 2nd PC does not do it. /shrug
ah, you're right, I'd forgotten about that cos I've been boxing so much. Mine does the same thing if I let it go for long enough, the UI goes blackout, and you can still see the view screen.
My pc gets pathalogical swap crisis before that happens when boxing tho, cos 3 of em doing it.
That is odd about the other pc.

Not trying to nit-pick but my corp runs Win 7 pro (Windows 7 Professional). I run it at home.
