I am having an issue with one of my profiles which is a mage. When I am in FM my chat boxes/inventory box are very laggy and have no information in them. I click in different boxes and all the wording goes away. I try to bring up spell book and has no wording just pics of the spells. Even the wording in hotbars will not come up. Is there anything I can do to fix the issue? I can not even see things I type in the chat boxes.

this sounds like the eq limitation on displayed items/objects

do you have your map open with map labels on?
 
So with MQ2Map loaded the map in FM will have tons of mobs, opening the map will often cause lag the first time you open it in a zone, and anytime you drag the map around. You can type /mapfilter npc to temporarily disable the displaying of NPCs on the map, click the "labels" button, and then /mapfilter npc again to turn the NPC's back on.

You can also produce the described behavior by having too much text visible on screen in the chat windows by having a bunch of chat windows that span from the top of your display to the bottom. I've encountered this using 3440x1440 resolution and opening probably 5-6 chat windows, with one of my plugin windows stretched from the top of the screen to the bottom. You can solve that by making the windows shorter, or closing additional chat windows that you don't really need.

It's more common that the issue is with MQ2Map trying to show a label for every creature in the zone, and FM has a TON of creatures, so it's very common it happens there.
 
Ok great thank you I will try that. This makes since since it did occur in other zones with lots of mobs but doesn't act up in say GMM the Howlings mission.
 
You can also try setting up a radius filter when in these zones, e.g.

/mapfilter custom npc radius 1000

I don't think the circle moves with you, but it should help otherwise.
