Title: Megaglest and Intel Core2 Quad
Post by: Irosonic on 22 March 2011, 14:00:25: Hey guys...i hope this is the right topic.. ive started some days ago with playing this awesome :thumbup: game!! Its great and fun...but ive got a problem. Some times the game jerks/jiggels (ruckelt) so hard, that iam not able to play. But my system is all right:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200
HD Readon 5770
6 GB Ram

So i got some Questions and hope you can help me:
1.Does the game support Prozessors with more Cores (my english is horrible :confused:)?
2. Does it help, when i change the affinity of the game for one Core (Prozessor Affinity)?

i hope you can help me. Thanks :)

It happens when you have very big battles and often has something to do with the pathfinding and units which got stuck...
It also happens when you choose to play with many factions and the Mega CPU player which produces tons of units ....

Oder auf deutsch:
Nee das ist (leider) normal, sollte aber nur passieren wenn viele Einheiten unterwegs sind. In der nÃ¤chsten Version wird es hoffentlich ein bisschen besser.

Well obviously we need 2 things: multi-core support, and more optimization...

Irosonic, have you clocked it any much? 2.33 GHz, and i dont know if Intel has any such thing as AMD cool'n quiet technology. Like my processor has only 800mhz when im idling and when i play games it jumps up as needed to maintain framrate and not become a bottleneck. Maybe check in task manager and/or OC software your clock speeds while playing.

Post by: Irosonic on 22 March 2011, 19:27:17: Thanks for the fast answers :).. iam not sure Gabbe if my intel got that like AMD also iam not that expert about Prozessors :angel: but i tried to put the hole process on one core like Core 0 and then it worked better....

It also happens wen you set a unit's sight to a large number like 500.
