Rediculous - Can't Play - CPU 100%

[Richens]

Okay, I tell I lie, I can play.. But... it's not fun when you have a big lure and your CPU is always at 95-100%... It just can't cope, but when I go on Mir2 it's smooth as anything!!!

What is the problem, it's such an old game now yet still uses sooooo much CPU, there must be something to change/ sort out???

Please help soon, otherwise I will be quitting Mir3 I think and looking at making a Mir2 server...

"System Information Below"

Kind Regards

All you can do is go into your nvidia control panel and choose the mir.exe and disable all 3d settings etc. There is also a "Nvidia fix" but it's dodgy in my opinion and may not even work, it just basically disables your graphic cards 3d settings. Someone on these forums will have it.

I play games like Aion at 160 fps yet on mir 3 my fps is around 15

The easiest fix for this, is to set the priority to either Medium or low. You can still play the game without any problems, it just lowers at how much cache is used for the game.
