Question - Max EQ Instances on one core

[Cannonballdex]

Does mq2 limit the amount of instances of eq that can be run on a core to 4? If so can this be changed? I have a quad core processor and seems I can only run 16 instances of eq.

Your issue is most likely limited by one of two factors:
1) Ram available
2) Lack of usage of Eqwire

I've had over 60 accounts up on my machine before (more then 4 per core)

Wow! What CPU / RAM on the machine with 60x instances? (and what resolution?)

 

[Eltai86]

I7-5930 plus 64 gigs of ram....

 

[Eltai86]

1920x1080 as far as resolution.

Awesome! So it seems RAM is the key to getting more instances on one box? (I also use EQWire)

 

[Eltai86]

Yes, EQ is and always will be more ram intensive. EQwire massively reduced the strain on CPUs

Yah its like 10 year old HP with 16 gb ram. Probably the case.

With 16 gigs of RAM, I was able to get up to 24, but I had to turn settings down drastically.

I have 16Gb DRAM with a i7 2700k, I can get 12 running but I can feel the drag on the system. BUT Im also running at 1440p and I think that makes a pretty big difference. I suspect at 1080 it would be better.

EQWire is more important than the computer. Got it about 2 weeks ago. Game changer - pun not intended, but certainly applicable.

I have a modern laptop that I 6 box on while running other things (gamparse, spotify, discord, news sites, etc...) in the back ground. I have to also second endorse mq2eqwire, totally worth the investment.
