Hi Sim!

taskmanager isnt good choice to get cpu usage ingame.
Please try "perfmon":
1. go to start
2. type "perfmon" in "run"
It will log cpu usage during gameplay.

There should be a setting in the config settings to open up more than one core. Well, there better be or this sinks the boat.


Remember this?

[rts]
ProcessAffinityMask=

Set it to 500. Things should get better.

It was already confirmed that CoD is multithreading. So multiple cores are supported.

Same happened to BlackSharks-Release-Version, though. The final didn't have the software switch to utilize more than 1 core. You could still enable them manually and after a few days a patch was released.

And again, world's still turning.

Just copied this from the CoD Cnfg file posted at SimHQ....should there be a colon in front of the ProcessAffinityMask?



[rts]
tickLen=30
;ProcessAffinityMask=2
maxTimerTicksInRealTick=20
; 0 - not use, 1 - show cursor and not capture, 2 - not show cursor, and capture
mouseUse=2
; 0 - not use, 1 - use if hardware exist
joyUse=1
; 0 - not use, 1 - use if hardware exist
trackIRUse=1
DisableIME=0
culture=en-GB

looks very much like the Il2 config, looks like the multicore hasn't made the initial release.

Sven, can that be enlarged so we can see the figures?

I wonder if that explains many of the Russian comments regarding CPU type not making much difference compared to physical RAM and GFX card specs?

Sorry Tree not mine, it's from russian sukhoi.su site, but it clearly indicates that of the 6 cores only 1 is running properly, there is something wrong with multi core support, that also explains why people with dual core are getting about same results FPS wise over there.

this is a sad state of affairs to be discovering early on a Sunday morning...



as an aside, do some research on/ turning off Core Parking (W7 64bit users)
