CPU usage 80% when i am looking at SRO

What i mean is when i alt tab to SRO , i get 80% cpu usage, if i alt tab out to other window (no longer looking at sro) i get 5% cpu usage...
I got a Core2Duo 2.66ghz, should be able to run this shit fine (only 1 client)

Its coded poorly , thats why , ud be amazed how many stuff take up 100% cuz of the unlimited animation/fps caps , red alert 2 takes up 100% too lol

SRO is made with Direct X and is very CPU intensive.
When you move to another window, it is not drawn anymore so that's why you see a drop in CPU usage.

anyway i can fix it? 1 day i accidentally afk with it looking at SRO, when i come back after 8 hrs, the PC hang

The only thing you could do is upgrade your CPU.

:( i am not upgrading just for SRO, my friend running lousier Core2Duo than me and yet his SRO only take 10% when look at it

I know of someone that runs 6 3.2ghz cores, and the CPU is at like 30,40% when a client is in focus. lol.

sadded this is shit

WTH , i Run 10 clients and my cpu usage never goes over 12~15% , i have Core i7 720QM 1.6 Ghz only ^^ , so you gotta have some problem going on with your computer

that cant be true , i think when he switches to look at cpu usage in taskmanager the client is no longer in focus

also , i think you should be able to get 50% usage if u set cpu affinity for sro window


and ur pc hung when u left it 8 hours becuz of overheat ... u may have a bad overclock or a closed pc case

well kgy, i can run 5 client and also only at most 25%. ( if it is not in focus)

Toma, you mean going to task manager and setting it 1core?
tried that, when it is in focus, it is still eating shit up. This game is bad

How can you know how much it is taking when its in focus? i mean you switch to check CPU meter its not on focus anymore

windowed mode ... u move taskman aside so u can see ...


@auggie the affinity thing should let one core work on one window , ill try in a few hours with my x4 3.2ghz

EDIT: here's a pic

My 3 years old laptop can run this better than my PC.....
