Re: Game Only Uses One Processor on Computer

Bumping thread.

Is the threading issue going to get solved in the final version?

I've noticed the performance drops constantly throughout playing, starting at 60+ fps, and then dropping to under 15 fps after 2, 3 hours of playing.
After the game became really slow, I fired up Task Manager and saw that the CPU usage was at 100% on my first two cores, while the other 6 did nothing. (I have an i7-920@3.8GHz, 4 hardware and 8 logical cores)

I then opened Afterburner, and concluded that the game was being massively bottlenecked by the lack of threadedness - GPU usage was between 5 and 10% with the fps sitting around 15.

Holy Necromancy. Lol.

If you read through the first post kinda explains it " should " be multi threaded. But I've learned ( through hard experience a two core can out perform a 4-8 core easily just because the cores are " dedicated " but benchmarking isn't a good " benchmark " it just goes omgerd great numbers galore...) So what it seems to me what is potentially happening is your cores are not effectively handling the load, and are bogging down, in addition to a larger range of other " possibilities " that could be occurring such as your computer is cycling down your gpu ( not likely ) you've not set your power settings right ( go to control panel>power options or something to that matter and click on change plan settings then hit advanced and navigate to processor power management, I change these to 100% .. but I'd recommend 0-100% just so you have leeway when you idle your computer... best of luck
