It seems like it is indeed the formula 1 thing going on.

I have it with mining atm.... The difficulty of mining is so high i really feel a bit mangled thinking about how to manage metal production. Already lowered the production just to get higher results with the little bits left in the mine ...

Personally i hope the republica update adds a bit more spice to the empire management segment of the game overall. The game does feel a bit stale in that respect. For example, it is very easy to create a homogenous society with several 'aspect' combinations others are a bit harder but those are also ...

yea i think so.... The multi update might also contain the Oceania installer... My sheer confidence is backed by the number of own failures with this system

I do usually patch before adding DLC

First the installer then the update and DLC

had to take a peak :D

So what happen after the peak ? Did you play some further ? What you think ?


I did let it run for a bit, since i was interested to see if anything else would happen to my system other than turn into an enormous heating...

I found the whole thing a bit overwhelming ...

*Final approach

So i changed a couple of things around.

- Intake fans are now at the side front. This balances the airflow towards both radiators, top and bottom. In the previous setup intake was only from the bottom. Especially the CPU rad benefits from the increased cooling flow.

After ...

There is also this other post i found

Ever since it was introduced, I check new patches to see if it's "fixed"
I'm talking about that performance change that makes the cpu go 50% usage when paused with a freshly started galaxy.

I'm ...

I still have a fifth-gen i7 with 32 Gb, it runs 1K stars without problems. When you give DW2 more CPU it will increase the granularity of the simulation with more frequent updates.


While the tooltip ingame for the CPU slider only indicates that more or less CPU resources are used, so, you ...

Here you can see how that CPU performs
Prozessor Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 v2 @ 2.60GHz 2.60 GHz (2 CPUs)
Installedr RAM 64,0 GB

GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (6 GB)

Link to the Video.

Now my question is:
What the heck does the fps slider do as well as the cpu usage slider?
I can see no ...

again ....
it is not how much cpu temp i get (i have an full custom watercooling with an MoRa420 and here i get on full cpu load with over 500W only 69~70°C...)
It is that DW2 utilize the cpu even in pause mode or the main screen without an start of an game with an load that the cpu boost up to 4 ...

"If" i musst massive change how windows utilize the cpu for "one" game ..... where is then the culprit of this problem .....?
I see this more as an indication of where the fundamental problem comes from .... and not a solution for it.

For this the engine should simply doing what most engines ...

Okay, well, as i suspected my powerdraw is twice as high if i drive in power efficient windows mode and about trice as high if i enable windows performance mode.
So with this setup, Ultra 285K 2x24GB Ram running at 8000 hz

It seems intel is only recommended for gaming if you are a team blue ...

edit:
CPU load at around 60%

but..how much power does it draw cause my CPU could show 60% load and still not draw 60w 8-)
[/quote]

I can check, i would not be surprised if my draw is actually, a lot, higher. The 7800x3d is a beast of a gun ...

had to take a peak

had to purchase shakturi because of the peak....

loads game

sees everything moving

feels satisfied

edit:

CPU load at around 60%

Would you have watched my video .... you would have seen, i have adjusted the slider ... with "zero" effect ...
The slider only adjust how much from the actual "draw" is get the rendering task and how much the calculating task .. (IMHO)
Its change nothing from the "draw" self ...
And yea .. i ...

Nonsens ... sorry ....
calculating budgets .....
AI thinks (strongly NO) .....

And this utilize an newest Xenon CPU 16 cores to around 30% ...
you are kidding or ....

And if i switch from pause to game play at 1x speed nothing changes (nothing you can realy see ...)

And again ............it is ...

Wouldn't it be something, Matrix releasing the 'first' 'true' 'AI' 'gaming' title

When, do you think? , Will Matrix present us with the first title that will use the NPU that currently sits useless in your desktop waiting for any input during those long and arduous war game sessions

but i would suggest that you handle freighters like all other ships, means small--medium--large upgrades and not 3 different freighters that do the same job.
Also please a script for AI´s that deletes older teamplates. If you take out a AI Empire you suddenly get hundreds teamplates of small ...
