CPU usage in 2d

[Clog|Mordain]

Umm... should I be using 100% of my CPU usage to use the 2D client? it hasnt been like that before

Is that with the log-in page or after you enter the game? Mine uses 50% with just the log-in page and drops to 2% after I enter the game.

also, I think this command still works

-reducecpu

That releases any unused handles on the CPU. Type it into the 2d client and press enter.

Type it in where on the 2D client?

Just like you are talking. And I should clarify, both clients are 2d, and I speak of the Classic Client.

-reducecpu (don't forget to include the dash at the front)

Well, do you get the 100% CPU usage from the Task master as an aggregate (total) cpu usage or is it from the task panel showing the 2d client at 100%.

I have a laptop, running UO and UOAssist, browser, and email, and Im only at 30% cpu usage. I have UOAssist set to run with High CPU Priority as well, and Im on a 64 bit Intel Processor running Windows 7 64 bit version (Still beta)

I forgot to mention, I am logged into windows on two windows accounts, running two instances of UOAssist and UO at same time. (NO it is not a cheat since i am not using a third party program to do so, just the typical OS and Client, running in two windows sessions on one PC. Handy for training or transferring stuff between accounts)

As a generalization, when some one sees the client at 100% it is generally going to be one of two conditions.

The Client is hung waiting on some event to complete, such as a call to a sound card that is not ready, video function that is not ready, network event that is not ready.

The Client for what ever its reason, is doing some low level back ground task.

The later is of no concern to anyone, as a generalization and will eventually complete its task.

The former is going to be an issue to those that encounter it.

I made a thread about that just yesterday; check it out: http://vboards.stratics.com/showthread.php?t=158851

Sounds like your PC is running both the client and UO.exe at the same time, when it's not necessary.

Try opening the game straight through the 'client' file in the UO directory. It should run at about 30-40% then.
