Pol Cpu Usage

after todays update, pol is running anywhere from 50-90% cpu usage for me now(ran 0-5% before). anyone else experiencing the same thing? or have any suggestions as to whats going on, some of my other games are still fine :(

Mine runs higher CPU usage the more stuff that is on screen. Are you at whitegate auction house?

its anywhere I go, was running to sea, and my comp locked up at teledem :/

What Kind of Cpu are you running?

I haven't been on since the update, but normally mine runs 1-10% depending on areas.

dual Intel 6400s @ 2.13ghz with 2gb ram, not the best I know, but have never had any problems with it :/

Reboot, try upgrading your graphics drivers... not really sure what else to tell ya. I'm sure there would be a flood of posts about it if it was wide spread issue.

yeah youre right, k ill try that, ty for inputs

I find this claim to be highly suspect, even alone in MH without Moogle-spinning action.

Like Hyp said, update your drivers and if you still have trouble and are using Windower try unloading them on by one to see if that's your problem.

Back when I was running XI on a single-core 2.4GHz CPU 50-90% CPU for FFXI was the status quo. If it keeps up I would recommend using the Priority plugin to fiddle with the process priority automatically, or doing it manually through Task Manager.

ya it would be a good time to upgrade drivers. I remember FFXI having a problem with dual/Quad core Cpu's with only using one core. Not sure that is still in effect or not.
