Dual Core question

[drac0nin]

I'm trying out the free trial tho having trouble getting the game to accept one of my character names. Keeps telling me invalid name. But my main problem was that the game only appeared to be using one of my processors. Is the game compatible with dual cores? Is there a work a round? I play City of Heroes at the moment and have to add "-renderthread 1" to target line for it to use both processors.

I tried doing a brief search and couldn't find anything, so I apologize if there's a sticky/thread somewhere I missed. Have to head to work in a minute so I thought I'd pop the question here and see what ya'll have to say. Thanx.

At the moment I don't think Ryzom will use the second core. But I will ask around and let you know for sure.

Hi,
Ryzom certainly does work with dual core processors. As to whether it utilizes more than one core, I don't know, at least here it does not, and actually I do not think it does at all.

The character name might be invalid because of special chars in it, like umlauts etc, or it might already exist, so you are not allowed to use this name...

I got a name to work, but the server is down. Is this around the time that daily server maintainence is done?

That's pretty dissapointing that it won't utilize both cores. With the popularity of dual cores on the rise (most gamers today are using core 2 duo or AMD's X2) are there any plans to introduce code for dual core users in the future?

noticed this also, any plans to enable it?

...

I have been using dual processors for over a year (single core), and Ryzom only engages one. The upside is - when I had 1 processor it ran at 98% and anything else I wanted to do was sluggish at best. Dual gives headroom for other stuff beside Ryzom, so is never a bad idea

download startaffinity.exe from AMD Site and install as service *read the installation note*

start startaffinity.exe and set a new default affinity to client_ryzom_rd.exe

now Ryzom will always eats 2 cpu's

Anyone know if there is a intel core 2 duo version of the startaffinity? or if that one works for both brands dual core solutions?
