W:ET, CPU Problem

(Mutley_NoSkill) #1

Hi guys. I read a lot, mainly about QW but I play W:ET too. I decided to sign-up.

My problem is when I play W:ET I get 100% CPU usuage ALL the time and it jolts really bad, I played it before on my PC fine, any suggestions why?

Finally, bit of an off-topic question what is the story behind this:
:stroggtapir:

:stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks,
Mutley

So where did the whole Tapir thing start from? Is it a character out of a game or something? :o

100% CPU usage is normal on some [CPU limited] systems. By “jolts”, do you mean that FPS is unstable or that you have network lag?

Your system specs may be useful as well.

This is the first tapir post ever according to the search, but that has probably forgotten about some of the olders posts ;o
