[NOT A BUG] strange cpu usage

Post by NachbarsLumpi »

the game uses 100% of (one from) my cpu(s) .. is this wanted or just a bug where something runs that shouldn't run?

OS: linux fedora core 3 (386smp dual core)

if you are not using select's may this be the reason .. you should definitly change it :-D

we don't use select. we use a 3rd party library for the low level network stuff. but maybe that library does.

did you activate the FPS limit in the setup window? if not tmw forces the cpu to draw as much frames as possible.

Yea use the frame rate limiter, you can set it in the config file.

It is normal for games without an active frame rate limiter to draw full CPU power, so no bug.
