Both CPU Cores Maxed with this update

Comp · 09-23-2009, 09:35 PM

Don't know wtf happened; however it's uplayable for me. Was just fine until this update. I actually started seeing this on AMUN but I've been told it's expected due to all the crap on amun.

Game will run fine for a bit then BOOM both CPUs 100% consumed.

Still happening no matter what I do I stay in-game for about 10 minutes and BAM both CPU cores are at 100%

Please some assistance NGD - this was not happening until this update.

Hi Solarus,

Could you post here your hardware specs for us to find the problem?

We'll be checking this tomorrow morning as now it's 8pm and everyone's off the office (but me and some other crazy guys :P)

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Update:

I modifed powermizer settings to force performance to max and still no change. After about 10 minutes of game play CPU Cores go to 100% (both) and the game freezes.

Workaround for those interested (Thanks to Ulrin).

If you force RO to be bound to a specific CPU then the problem goes away.

Using taskset (example):

#>taskset -c <cpu-number> ./rolauncher

This will bind RO to a given CPU. So far it's working I'll report if it starts jackin up.

I have my core2duo 6300 on 100% for both core too but i have no freeze. Are you sure your system is stable with voltage/temperature ?

Yeah - didn't have this problem at all until 1.0.8 update. It seems that binding the game to a given CPU is a work-around.
