I noticed again that my Win XP system is having 100% CPU usage from Ryzom ...
At the point where the login splash page is waiting for the input of the password!!!
And it is doing 100% CPU usage at all times during the game except during logout. The problem is that this usage is interfering with things like entering text into chatboxes. I have recently done a re-install and I regularly defrag my disk. Neither of these has changed a thing. I first started noticing this after the last major patch, but only just now looked at the system monitor and saw what I saw.
When it's waiting for the loging password it uses CPU to such an extent that it slows down Firefox (a 2% user under normal circumstances).
Sywindt -- there is no "scaling back". Why should Ryzom use 100% of the CPU when it isn't *doing* anything? What is it doing with those CPU cycles?
File fragmentation does not produce CPU usage, but disk access usage. That, at least as far as I can tell, is not up.
