2x 2.33GHz
2% cpu usage unfocused, 50% focused
lol

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Yeah Silkroad is outdated and poorly coded , not supporting hyper threading

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?

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

u cant make this shit up

@auggie

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

what does it do ?

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

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.
