I just upgraded from my athlonXP to a dual core intel and all my games are screaming except freespace which seems to be running far far slower. I was wondering is there some reason behind this that people are aware of?

[karajorma]

What version of FSO are you running. There is a known problem with 3.6.7.


Well actually there are a lot of known problems with 3.6.7.

[The Spac]

the official 3.6.9 release. I had freespace in mind when I upgraded so that I wouldn't get jerks when having an orion or installation on screen, upgraded version.

before it was around 25fps with craploads going on and now it's 15fps or so. *Cries*

Computer specs would be helpful, as well as the command line arguments you run with.

i regognize this...the dual-core bugg! doesent setting proccessor affinity to single-core fix it?

i'd also like to know...i bought a new laptop with core 2 duo...how do i switch the affinity to single core?

it's really slow...

[The Spac]

how do you do this single core setup thing?

Specs are

Intel Dual core 3600
2gig of ram
nvidia 6800GT

[aRaven]

figured it out...

task manager -> fresspace2 process -> righlclick -> uncheck a cpu

doesn't improve much though

[The Spac]

About a 25% improvement. At least it's back to where my Athlon use to be. lol

thats a good start 

Will SCP 3.6.10 maybe support dual core? plzzzzz? ^^

[Kazan]

install the dual core optimizer from AMD

[The Spac]

but I got an intel?

[aRaven]

i'm afraid AMD optimizer wouldn't do much good with intel cpu

[woutersmits]
