The overlay is part of it. But, it’s also the memory/routine load that Miqo does that might give some people FPS issues. if you are running around 16MB of RAM or less, you’ll see most of the problem. Windows hogs a significant amount. When the memory load gets to a certain threshold, applications will start stalling/stuttering. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of fix to this if it’s a physical RAM issue. But, you can try one thing that might help clear up the RAM a bit:

– Press Win+R
– Type “regedit”
– Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > Session Manager > Memory Management
– Find “ClearPageFileAtShutDown” and change value to 1″
– Restart

The only downside to this is that restarting your computer will take a bit of time since it is now clearing your page file.
See if this helps besides turning off 3D radar and other Miqo overlays. If this works for you, you will have to remember to restart the computer when memory usage hits around 70-80%.

Also, make sure you whitelist Miqo’s folder if you are using an Anti Virus and especially if you are using Windows Defender. It will constantly scan in the background that will use a lot of resources.

LASTLY, If you are running FFXIV Teamcraft (desktop version) I strongly suggest removing it, especially if you are auto uploading/downloading information to their site and Universalis. This app will run even if you have it closed.

This statement is incorrect.
Miqobot Team is doing everything possible to alleviate the issue with antiviruses.

We always inform antivirus vendors about False Positives, and Miqobot project is also subscribed to premium VirusTotal services that send automatic notifications to them.
If you upload Miqobot to VirusTotal, you may notice that our executables are published in the VirusTotal Monitor collection:
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/2064947885daaf35a7b77faf3e08601f223903894a49b401a00ab7e423e10bed/

However, we have no affiliation with antivirus vendors and have no access to their source code, therefore we can not help them fix this problem. It’s entirely up to them when and how to address it.

Yes, this is expected behaviour.

Miqobot uses functions that Anti-Virus softwares find suspicious, and pretty much every game or software use these kinds of functions too, but usually most companies report their programs to the Anti-Virus companies long in advance so they’re not detected as possible threats.
However, AV-companies often take very long to whitelist stuff and it’s often very troublesome, which is why Miqo doesn’t bother with that anymore and people are just instructed to whitelist Miqo, as this behaviour is expected.

Its a false positive. Always happened always will. Just whitelist and move on.

And btw it was already asked yesterday: https://miqobot.com/forum/forums/topic/virustrojan-win32wacatac-bml/

Hey!
My windows did an update during night and this morning I noticed miqobot was removed by windows defender.
When I try to instal it again (from here, not any shady website) windows recodnises it as a virus and when I check the details and make an exeption for it, it litellary says it’s a troijan.
wtf is going on?

Edit: added a pic as proof, seems forum does not show pictures so it’s just a file.

I am not pointing fingers here as i know some programs such as this can get a false positive, but it should be noted that this is picked up as a virus and is very annoying when used with Windows Defender.

Miqobot saves your settings and presets in these files:

• settings.miqo
• presets.miqo
• catnip.license

They are generated when you first start Miqobot and are automatically updated when you close Miqobot.

Do you see these files being created and updated next to your Miqobot application?
If not, then something is blocking her from saving your settings.
Please try the following solutions:

1. Try running Miqobot as Administrator.
2. Try moving Miqobot to a different folder.
3. Make sure that Miqobot has full write access to the folder she resides in.
4. Make sure that your antivirus and firewall do not interfere with Miqobot.

There has been no changes to Miqobot application recently, so this issue is most likely caused by external interference.
Some antiviruses may get anxious about overlay rendering applications, such as Miqobot’s 3D Radar, and decrease the overall performance by constantly scanning it.

One of the things you can try is to disable 3D Radar.
Here is the list of settings that must be disabled in order to deactivate 3D Radar overlay completely:

1. 3D Radar tab -> Show -> Nothing.
2. 3D Radar tab -> Show FATEs -> List / World.
3. 3D Radar tab -> Show Gathering -> Out of reach.
4. Navigation tab -> Show on radar.
5. Gold Saucer tab -> Racing -> Show -> Rails / Mid-rail / Progress / Waypoints.
6. Combat tab -> 3D Radar -> Show arena.
7. Combat tab -> Assist -> Pause -> Show pause status.

You can verify that 3D Radar is deactivated by looking at the top left corner of the game.

• If you see a transparent box, it means 3D Radar application is rendering the overlay window.
• If the top left corner is empty, it means 3D Radar application is deactivated.

This issue is not related to the original question. Miqobot servers are up.

Miqobot saves your settings and presets in these two files:

• settings.miqo
• presets.miqo

They are generated when you first start Miqobot and are automatically updated when you close Miqobot.

Do you see these files being created and updated next to your Miqobot application?
If not, then something is blocking her from saving your presets.
Please try the following solutions:

1. Try running Miqobot as Administrator.

Don’t have any antivirus running… ;/

[AiKeymaster]

Maybe your antivirus kills it? It sometimes can happen after new version is released.

[MiqobotKeymaster]

We are trying to minimize the amount of new versions, because every new executable requires several days to prepare, build, and perform the testing, and creates additional problems with antiviruses for the community.
