Cryostasis uses only one CPU core

[john2]

The game doesn't support multicores so you don't get any performance boost at all by enabling 2 or 4 CPUs (you are just wasting one CPU which isn't doing anything as it doesn't have any data to process). Already tried that after all and still the CPU usage is around 30-50% with my Core2Duo. It needs to be patched to take advantage of the multicores

Yes... i did mention this too with my core2quad.
It seams its engine issue which can't take advantage of the multiple core systems.
WE NEED PATCH!

Cryostasis: The Sleep of Cores.

Anyway, really please fix this game! I have a q9450@3.6, 4gb of RAM and a overclocked gtx260. The game sometimes runs really slow, when there are a lot of dynamic shadows and intensive particle effects.

It's really annoying because the story is great!

Didn't you say that with the european-american version a patch would be published?

Everytime a only PC game goes out it's always heavy and unbearable for most configurations (like Crysis)...

Im afraid no patch will be able to make it "multi core optimized", Cryostasis is very similar to STALKER Clear Sky in this aspect, just a new engine could make this happen.

u guys really have performance problems?
i use e6600 overclocked to 3ghz with an 8800gts 640 mb and i can play it with everything max @ 1152 * 864 with ~26 fps.
i'm quite happy it runs that well.

[thales100]

Well at this low res 1152 x 864 it shouldnt be a problem, but 1680 x 1050+ yes, a multi core optimization wouldnt hurt.

Lower settings lowered the framerate lol

If the PhysX patch coming out soon doesn't fix the performance issues I'm done with the game. Who in their right mind makes an extremely intense game and doesn't support modern CPUs? I'm sorry to say, but that is, to use the word literally, RETARDED.

Oh and do the developers even read this? I mean c'mon! This is the official forums and I've never once seen a developer post.

I'm starting to like EA more, and that's sad. Freaking game says a lot of bad things for small-time developers such as 1C Company.

Sorry, but getting bad performance for no reason when I just spent a butt-load of money on building a good computer pisses me off.

My performance with Cryostasis isn't that awful, it's about 30-40 in crowded areas with lots of lights, etc and usually 45-60 in other areas.
This is on all maximum settings, 1440x900.
Of course, since the game only uses one core, this isn't as bad for me as it is for some users, as I have a Q6600 overclocked to 3.6g/hz so it's using a single 3.6g/hz core.
Some of you guys should really try overclocking your CPUs, it helps a lot for this game.

My PC specs:
Q6600 @ 3.6g/hz
GTX 295
4gb RAM
Vista32bit
