Bug: MAXFPS in background mode

I have set maxfps to 35fg/2bg. When running EQ normally, it is using the background parameter in foreground mode. I am getting limited to 2fps.

Hmm... they must have changed something. When not using EQW, it will use the background parameter 100% of the time.
I'll have to look deeper into this, could be related to their new engine crap

Just some more info... I don't use EQW and normally not windowed mode within EQ. I am using full-screen mode. Prior to this most recent patch for the 3/16 dated eqgame, it would work as I stated. FG for when active and BG for when I minimized the game (out of focus).
Thanks for looking at this... right now, i just set the FG and BG parameters the same for maxfps.

I am seeing the same thing.
my defaults are 60 FG / 5 BG. I set BG to 60 and I get my normal frame rate. The FG and BG are not reversed. and setting FG to any setting has no effect.

This can be read as "If anyone posts after this and says 'i also see this problem', they are useless"
You can get around the problem by using EQW. I'm going to lock this thread because nothing anyone says can possibly help, I'll reply after it's solved.
