BLUF: install EEEX, SET FPS limit to 120, and enjoy super smooth scrolling.
So I saw a post here a week ago highlighting eeex v1 release and thought it was finally time to install and try out artisans eeex monk kits. Got everything up and running with a full fresh bg1 and bg2 installation and kept noticing my laptop fans starting to burn a hole in our atmosphere 🙃 and after some playing around I realized the fps rate 360 was the cause in eeex settings. Lowered it the original 30 locked cap of the EEs.. and wow I never realized how blurry everything got while scrolling around maps with 30 fps. I found 120 fps looks really amazing and is the sweet spot / my laptop easily handles it and the game looks amazing. Its really just a huge QoL improvement to a 25+ year old game, can't recommend enough.
