ya its 25% on quad core , with affinity set to 1 core , its 100% all time

and for kqy's pic , it looks like sro doesnt use ht , so its 25% for u too

Yeah Silkroad is outdated and poorly coded , not supporting hyper threading

[auggie]

they should have a console... to set stuff
I am monitoring my cpu temp
not in focus, 38 Degrees celsius
in focus up to 66 degrees celsis (WTF!!!)

@kgy, you are using quad?

EDIT: i am using E6750 Core2Duo 2.66ghz. No HT technology. shouldn't it support SRO

Is it only SRO that consumes your CPU or is there other processes running?

- Have you tried increasing / decreasing the priority of the process?

[TomaCukor]

i downclocked to 0.8ghz with 4core and total usage still 25% !!

u cant make this **** up

@auggie

ur probly running with closed pc case and stock cpu cooler ... thats what u should expect

[auggie]

I tested with only SRO running, and some other windows process
still it uses 80- 90% cpu

increasing decreasing priority does nothing

@toma
I am running with cpu case open with coolermaster heat sink, averaging 38 -40 degrees when normal usage, 50-55 when playing black ops

EDIT: I think this game is not optimizing the GPU alot and transferring most of the load to the CPU.

[EQ8]

Most of this free games are usually coded poorly and contains lot's of bugs!

- However check if there is a option inside / outside the game to "Allow Game Refresh" then un-tick that.

[auggie]

That is for sroking i suppose? i am not using that

[hadyz3]

well it happened to me b4 but it was with all not only sro if i do open anything it just consume alot of cpu so i found that the error was in my power supply after changing it to a better one all went smooth

[auggie]

hazdy i think your problem has nothing to do with ours.
U see i have a 500W PSU.

And only SRO consume lots of cpu.

[auggie]

weeee, i just realise by using SROking, i can tick save cpu

what does it do ?

[auggie]

reduces ( or afaik forces silkroad to not use so much cpu ) i am only using 15-20% in focus now without lag, save too much will cause lag

[Rzahm]

I see this too. It started after the last major update. 90 - 100% cpu usage. the game ran fine before the update. Now it even uses so much i have to reboot the computer.
