★ Blocks Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 When I started playing SS again about 2 weeks ago, after not opening it for a couple months, Continuum started using up 99% of CPU resources when it's active. It shouldn't be doing this, as I have a blazingly fast processor. When I alt-tab out, it takes up a more reasonable chunk of CPU resources, something like 15%. Any ideas on why this is happening, and what I can do?
★ SOS Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 That is normal. Turn on frame rate limit (advanced settings), that might lower it. Might not. Either way, it is normal.
★ Blocks Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Posted April 7, 2006 Tried frame rate limit, to no avail. I don't think this can be normal, because when I'm in windowed, and have another window active on top of it, Continuum is still doing the same thing as before, but only using 15-20% of processor. When the window is active, it goes to 99% and the fan makes like I'm running some model in Matlab.
★ SOS Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Yes, it is nornal. Most games work like this. Ok, if frame rate limit did not do it, turn on VSync (should be in the display options->settings->advanced somewhere, depending on video card).
