Topic: [HELP] Teeworlds - Cpu usage

Hey all,

I got a problem with my cpu.
My cpu usage is quite high if I start teeworlds and doesn't get lower while playing.
I'm not quite sure if that is causing my laggs/bad ping even if I have full internet bandwidth.
First I thought my modified teeworlds version (edgecomp - by my clanmate edgecrusher) causes the ~30% of
cpu usage but then I tested the normal teeworld version and my cpu usage still went up.
And 30% of my full cpu usage(intel core 2 quad 4x2.4 ghz) is almost ~3ghz just for teeworlds - and I can't belive
that this game causes a higher cpu usage than for example Warcraft 3 or Css.

Some other informations:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit version,
Cpu usage usually only gets up on ~30% while installing windows updates, bruning cds and so on.
The only game which causes such a cpu usage is teeworlds, my most played and favourite game-_-

Hope you could understand my request, forgive me my hopefully not that much made mistakes in this text and does this is the right part for "Helpthreads"?
I would appreciate some useful answers/help.
Ofc I'll complement open questions or details if needed.

So long
[Krypton] XaKe

Re: [HELP] Teeworlds - Cpu usage

flashgame.... lol... its not a flashgame wink
Its a game written in C/C++ and the CPU usage is normal... for me its even higher wink

and if u have laggs u should check your grafic driver or your network connection wink

Re: [HELP] Teeworlds - Cpu usage

Teeworlds uses a 3D game engine, like other well-known games. 1 "dimension" is unused, but it's still in the code.
You are using a 64bit operating system, so the 32bit executable you are running has been "emulated"... that's use more and more CPU that needed. You can download the sources and compile it yourself for Windows 64bit.
That's all.
By the way, Teeworlds CPU usage is not too much... I can run it without problem on a Intel Atom CPU...

Re: [HELP] Teeworlds - Cpu usage

I read somewhere that TeeWorlds uses maximum amount of CPU (not maximum, of course - in your case 30%) to give you a good gameplay.

Re: [HELP] Teeworlds - Cpu usage

im not able to compile or whatever it is and to lazy to learn it.

Now, but for sure it's smoother than with 64 in emulation... with my q9300 teeworlds use 30-35%

Re: [HELP] Teeworlds - Cpu usage

Games are designed to use all resources available on your machine. If anything is wrong, it's that it's ONLY using 30%.

He is talking about the CPU usage of Teeworlds, not anything else.
