Close, but not exactly. I'm used to PW's, but the actual problem looks like Ryzom fails to work properly with the hardware - or the other way. Basically everything runs well, but Ryzom hangs often. I'm guessing minor incompatibilities, but I have absolutely no clue where to start searching for the problem.
Hanging means that the whole Ryzom client stops doing anything for up to 10-15 seconds sometimes. No screen refresh, no input possible - it just does nothing, but all other active tasks (if there are any) still run fine. I'd say it does something, but it's hard to figure out anomalies since it always uses close to 100% of only one cpu core anyways.
My first suspect was some "AMD overdrive" technology - it lowers the CPU clock if the power consumption gets over a certain level. If I got that right I can set it to "+20%" which actually means the cpu runs on 100% all the time, but it also tells me that I will be doing this at my own risk, so I kept my fingers off of it.
My second suspect is that I'm using graphic hardware that is designed for CAD stuff rather than games - But it is fast enough to run for example LOTRO and ESO with incredibly high detail level and fps, so why would it be a problem for Ryzom?
For now I'm scared to mess with the system, it is new, runs perfect without crashes or even problems, cost a lot of money and I need it for a big part of my work on a daily basis...
I really don't know where to search, all I can think of right now is to throw in some additional information about the hardware and drivers - which I'll take care of tomorrow.
Maybe I just need to lower or limit GPU settings, downgrade some drivers or anything like that.
Any suggestions are welcome
