3.0ghz proccesor. lovely.

do you run it in high priority on one CPU or not?

I set (in localprefs) to have all the play code in high priority on one core, networking and sound in normal priority on the second.

how is that done?

how is that done?

From Gameprefs.ini

Code Select Expand


// Some threading and multi-CPU tuning values. For all priority
// values, they can be one of the following values:
// -2 : THREAD_PRIORITY_LOWEST
// -1 : THREAD_PRIORITY_BELOW_NORMAL
//  0 : THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL
//  1 : THREAD_PRIORITY_ABOVE_NORMAL
//  2 : THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST
// Values outside of -2..2 are treated as 0.
MainThreadPriority = 0
NetworkThreadPriority = 1
OggDecodeThreadPriority = 1

// Thread affinity masks. These are bitfields, with 1 being the first
// CPU in the system, 2 the second CPU, 4 the third CPU, etc. If a
// mask specified here refers to a CPU that doesn't exist, it is
// treated as 1
MainThreadAffinityMask = 2
NetworkThreadAffinityMask = 2
OggDecodeThreadAffinityMask = 1

now i know what the localprefs file is used for... probably easier to edit that than the gameprefs file directly :S

Editing Gameprefs.ini will give you bad assets (that's why it's read-only).
