CPUs maxed at 50% on Task Manager

[matamor]

Never had that bug before 1.33. Tried everything, can't get more than 50% of my cpu performances on wwii.exe. 3 fps in game. Windows 7. INTEL Pentium dual cores 2.4ghz.

50 + 50 = 100

much as romzy's posting style can give me headaches (and the fact that he's "nevar wrong!!"), that post pretty much nails it on the head.

romz you['re] my damn hero

ya know, at first romsburg, you rubbed me the wrong way and i wasn't a fan. But over the past 12 months, you have really grown on me. You're precise, well spoken and although you are sometimes a little harsh, you are most often correct and in proper context with your responses.

irelandeb:

indeed he's one of the few voices of common sense on these forums

jw:

if you're going to argue with romz, do your homework before you post. He gets it, and you can't teach common sense, you have to be born with it.

pete, linc & julie:

i can't say [any]thing else [than] that the ban was justified considering that you have an 'impressive' tos history....

both cpus are working on wwii.exe for 25% each, it only happens with my wwii.exe, couldn't get past 50% together, i have a lot of other processes that go in the upper 80% and stay there without any problems. probably the reason why its so laggy

[geckopow]

I have a similar issue, quad 3ghz, overall cpu usage 20-25%, main core runs at approx 70-75%, i wonder if this ties in with my massive fps drop when using hud and map etc..?

[Hinfoos]

thought wwiiol only could use 1 core

[AHWULF]

The way the game is written it should use 100% (possibly spread over multiple cores but logically its just 1 core's worth) unless something stops the main thread from running. The only new item in 1.33 is XAudio which replaced the old Directx sound. XAudio plays in separate threads. Maybe something is locking up the main thread enough to kill FPS.

Do any of you see the HUD/MAP up fps drop offline (turn off environment sounds so nothing is making noise)?

I've got a E5400 P4 2.4 GHz with a Radeon HD2400.

Offline with a .benchremagen followed by a .benchvehicles I'm getting 83% combined CPU usage.

Please run this test:

• launch offline
  
• at the unit select screen type .benchremagen
  
• spawn
  
• type .benchvehicles
  
• ctrl-alt-del and bring up task manager
  
• report CPU usage

benchremagen CPU 25-27% cpu usage core 0 and 4 seems to run at about 60% while core 1 and 2 run very low.

w/ benchvehicles CPU 26-27%, same core usage as benchremagen.

Also worth noting, my hud and map on, hardly affects my fps, it drops by about 3-5fps, although i am only getting about 25fps...

AMD Phenom 2 quad 3ghz, with a nvidia gtx460, still very worrying that i get such low fps with these benchtests!

Did the test that Gophur requested, i got a tiny hit on fps this time, i.e. no sound when using map and hud, a drop ranging between 2-5fps, where as in live, im getting a drop of approx 50%.

[OLDZEKE]

Mine seems as expected cpu wise.

Hmm one onf your cores is running at max, none of mine come close to 100%....Highest peak i have seen is about 70% on one core...

[matamor]

I pushed all my video card settings to the best quality and performance, overcloacked my dual core, adjusting some bios settings for cpus, memory and pci express slot memory to 16m to 128megs, got few new fps, gonna run these benchmark offline later! keep you posted!
