EQ1 - EverQuest and Vista? : EQ1 EverQuest 1 News

The players have a discussion going on about using Microsoft Vista with EverQuest on the EQPlayers boards.

It can be done, but needs some workarounds. Player Nedrom posted:

"Vista runs your whole UI off your video card which leaves less video ram for EQ to play with.

The best way to speed up EQ in Visa is to right click on eqgame.exe and on one of the tabs you can turn off "desktop composition" this disables the Aero interface and stops the GUI from running on your video card.

I found this was a huge performance increaser for running EQ in Vista.
Vista isn't officially supported either so it's really try it, like it, go back to XP, like a lot of folks."

Thanks Nedrom for the tips! You can see what other people have experienced with the thread link above.
