1.72.2 CPU use

Divas Kind Imps · Post by **Divas Kind Imps** » Wed Jan 14, 2009 12:22 am

Hey all,

Downloaded and installed 172.2 test- as well I included add-on oxp files (my usual group).

Sound loads and plays. Graphics are bug-slow and interface sllllooooowwww to respond. Checked cpu use by exe and clocked it at 95-98%.

Before I move back to an earlier version (7.72 works fine) I thought I'd leave all as it is so you can request particular files to help you look for the problems:-)

What OS? What service Pack of the OS (if Windows)?

What A/V solution? Is it running or disabled? Was it running when the update was installed?

What video card? Driver?

What background programs / systray icons are running?

OK, here comes sys specs:

AV solution... Antivirus? If so, AVG. Oolite installed offline. AVG off when installing.
When offline and using pc for entertainment/work I turn off the active software, though 3 background minimal-memory processes continue running: AVG resident shield, AVG e-mail scanner, and AVG watchdog. No other background programs running other than a few of WinXPs nascent services I've not disabled. If a list of the Winxp services I've left on are needed, I'll provide.

anything else?

Did you enable shaders in Oolite?

No shaders.

I'll catch-up with providing more data tomorrow afternoon if needed.

It would be helpful to know what it is, for future reference. :-)

Gotcha-

I was fiddling with openGL compatability settings and was forcing software rasterization.
