CPU Usage 100% when playing the original games (STEAM)
Hello guys. Today i noticed something strange.
I recently overclocked my CPU, so i frequently check my CPU temps, just to be sure that everything is ok. I was playing Exoddus(on steam), when i tabbed out. I checked hwmonitor and i saw that my CPU usage was 90-100% when i was playing the game. After some more checking i am now sure that both of the original games push my CPU so hard for some reason. Anyone else experience something like this? My Cpu is a Xeon X5460 OC'ed at 4Ghz(On stock clocks, this xeon is a bit faster than a C2Q Q9650). And no, i am not running a server. There is a mod to run s771 CPU on s775 boards. Thanks in advance |

Hey man thanks for the reply. No it didnt, and i noticed that the game fell kinda choppy.
I still use a 4:3 monitor, so i dont need it anyway. Its not a huge problem, but i dont get why my Xeon get abused to run a, almost 20 year old game |
:
AO/AE are DOS-era games, it's really weird that they use up all your CPU capabilities. Are you absolutely sure that doesn't happen with any other game? Or that your antivirus isn't interfering? |
Well, it happens with many games, but none of them is 20years old :P .
I dont even use an antivirus :P I can live with tha. Thanks for the help tho. |
