Sywindt: is there a way to set the cpu affinity of a Ryzom client in Linux ?
I would say it's mostly a memory/IO issue ... if you change the continent, it loads the new textures and all from disk, and if there's two clients and both load at the same time (looks roughly 700MB-1GB apiece) while also swapping to disk, it gets real slow. Try disabling swap (no idea how that can be done in Windows) if you have more than 3GB RAM for two clients. It does make a nice difference.
On Linux, just run "swapoff -a".
btw, what's the 5 core machine ? never heard of one :)
Iala
will have to try that (no single core machines left here, smallest has 5). Was under the impression it was mostly GPU related.
