ET screws up with DUALCORE?

by kuraigu • 26 Dec 2007, 14:09 • Journals
hello.


it seems something has fucked up on my system..

every time i start et or better when i'm on the server, i got damn huge fps lags.
from 85 down to 20 and up.. in a cycling mode. almost sync. when i then decrease the
fps (down to 50-40) for awhile, all is good again. but sometimes this won't do, either.

and when i then set both cores for ET, the lags are gone.
but we all know that ET runs very sucky with both cores allowed for ET.


anyone has experienced this weird bug ??

thanks in advance

if you got a dual/quad core, normally every programms runs on 2 cores, at least for me

should run by default on 4 cores otherwise ctrl + alt + del -> processes -> et.exe-> affinity/belonging & now you should be able to choose on which cores you want 2 run et but i dunno how it works for intel this is the way it works for my amd

ET isnt build for running on dual-core

Changing it to 2 cores won't have a difference it will change back to 1 core as soon as you close task manager, try swapping it to "cpu1" as that core won't be used as much by other programs you have running.

ET can't use both cores imo.

snoop always changes the process of et to one core after he started et, because et isnt optimized for 2 cores.

if you use 2 cores, you wont notice the diference, thats why :)
et is not optimized for 2 cores, change et to 2nd core and use the 1st one for all the other shit is a good idea tbh.
