TECHNICAL SUPPORT / WEB APPs BUGS

Hi,

Just a few things i was thinking of... Are you working on a laptop or desktop?
Laptop:
Is it slow when adapter is plugged in or is it when adapter is not plugged in?
This could come of powersaving stuff from Windows/Linux/Mac/Ubuntu/....

Desktop:
Also check your powerplan, maybe you have some C02 reducing stuff in there.
If you have that your PC is clocking your processor down when no need for power.
And switching back that is sometimes a bit of pain in speeds performance.

Greetz,
Benn

To Bennassi -- Desktop AMD Athalon 64 3200 2.01 GHz/ 2GM memory and Nvida 9600 GT. The power settings are set to "leave the bloody computer alone, I'll turn it off when I go to bed."

To all. Tried running Ryzom at lower priority, which did remove the interference with Firefox and with the use of text boxes in game, but at the expense of hesitant and jerky movement in game and less responsiveness to changes in my digging operations. I'm not sure I'm going to repeat that. CPU usage was at 100.0% at all times even with the reduced priority.

More ideas?

2 gigs sounds like alot of ram but Ryzom is a ram hog. If possible/can afford try to get it to 4 gigs. The hesitancy may be using hd as a swap file.-Kil

So it would seem like your AV is messing things up here. Personally I use Microsoft Security Essentials and have only good experiences with it. Failing all else perhaps you could consider switching.

I've used Avast for a good while, and it did slow down the game at some stage by scanning very large files the Ryzom client was accessing. Flagging the entire Ryzom directory to be excluded from scanning made it all smooth again for me.

If you do have RAM issues, perhaps using cleanmem before, or even during, your Ryzom playtime, might help. If your PC is low on RAM and paging to the drive, that will certainly make gameplay impossible.

Hekla --

I have flagged the Ryzom directory not to be scanne (see reports above) and while it helped some, it was not a panacea. (+Kilgore) The slowdowns are not correlated in any way to disk activity, so I'm doubting that it is the pagefile, especially since System Manager shows unused RAM during play.

Sywindt - Yes, it is clear that AV is related to the problem, but it also happened with McAfee and it is a change since last spring or even since the summer.

Putting more ram into an almost 6-year-old computer is pretty much not going to happen. Max for the Motherboard and OS is 4GB..

I am continuing experimentation....

Thanks, Pokeratis, for the thought, but as Celik notes, I not only tried cleaning the GPU and CPU heat sinks, I *did* clean them. I'm trying something else now, that is relevant to the time period in which I noticed the problem. I am determined that I *will* discover the cause of this and fix it. It's sort of like figuring out how to properly attack one of the Marauder NPC's. :)

Last night I tried removing some drivers for my tablet (which includes mouse function) on the grounds that I had recently upgraded them and it might be reacting to occasional nudges and bump. It might be, but that wasn't a cure.

I tried running cleanmem as suggested by Hekla and got no joy from it, as expected since the memory wasn't being completely used. It didn't interfere, but it didn't help either.

I'm wondering if it is somehow based in Firefox, but I tried running without a browser open in the background and while it seemed a little smoother, I still got the interference in the chatboxes. I'd wonder if I needed to drill through the Avast firewall, but that wouldn't explain the fact that it happened while I was still using McAffee and that the change happened while using McAffee.

I will continue thinking on this matter.

I have a desktop dislay which has shown CPU usage at 99% since 1st beta ..... Task maanger process tab howver usually has me about or jjust under 50% on my lappie Core Duo (XP). Have to look at the Win 7 build (SB/SLI).
