Dirty Bomb uses up an incredible amount of CPU

(BeardyDuck) #1

Why does it use upwards of 64% of processing speed? This game runs on UE3 which isn’t all that demanding.

I currently use an i5-4460 at 3.2GHz. I’d post a picture of the CPU usage but apparently linking is not allowed.

game is no where near optimized YET

It doesn’t matter if it’s not optimized, it shouldn’t be maxing out my CPU usage.

oh, ok

btw, 64% isn’t your max

(BeardyDuck) #5

64% definitely is the max because it maxes out my CPU usage to 99%.

UPDATE: I’ve found the source of the problem. One Frame Thread Lag (Interval) absolutely eats up CPU and after turning it off the game has gone down to a normal 20-30% CPU usage.

What does “One Frame Interval” even do? One would hope that it was chewing up those CPU cycles for a reason.

I assume more fps at the cost of latency
