Slowdown even on high end (ish) PC!

[kiniki2004]

Had a 3 player KOTH game..

Halfway through 3/4 ants nests sprung up... Game started slowing down a fair bit...

On a Quad Core with Nvidia 8800!

I've played Crysis at mostly highest settings with no problem... Play MW, a game which souldn't trouble the PC at all and it starts falling down!

Mental... what kinda AI you got in those ants!?

They're probably smarter than the aliens in Crysis

On a more serious note, Multiwinia only uses one core. So at the same price, a dual core would give you more bang for the buck for this game.

Did the game slow down, or was there an FPS dip?

Really? I'll give it a try. Not that I need it. Core2Duo 2.2ghz + nVIDIA GeForce 8600m gs and I can run the game with entitys on med, everything else on high, and 4xAA on at the driver level.

I tried setting Multiwinia.exe to one CPU (q6600 @ stock 2.4ghz) and it actually decreased my fps (checked using the in-game fps meter in the beta) It was 32fps at a 20 minute game domination with ants nests, flaming forests etc. I alt+tabbed and enable Multiwinia.exe for all CPUs and fps bumped up to 60 and dipped down to 50 ish at times.

I know the game isn't multi-threaded but for me I prefer to keep it on all cores, just my limited test seemed to give better results that one core.

Can you set it to always run on a specific core/cores?

Or do you have to set the affinity each time you run the game?

The issue here is most probably the ant nests and as nothing to do with process affinity.
