CPU use by POTCO on your computer

[Your Gladiator]

mine is like 1 to 10%

[swashbuckler II]

mine is 3% on abassa right now

[MacIronhawk]

I was on for about 30 minutes and it was going back and forth between 1% to 4%
Sorry, but what does that mean?

That's more of a philosophic question. I'm trying to estimate from this poll how many people (like you) have POTCO functioning flawlessly, in comparison to how many people (like me) have POTCO functioning barely at all, due to the run-away keyboard-reader thread causing permanent preemption of the garbage collector thread.

What it means, is that you, like the two before you, should answer "1-20%" for this poll.

Ok.
I have an HP windows vista with 4GB.
I have little to no lag at all. If I get any lag most of it would be server lag.
I'm guessing that's good.

I still don't see why POTCO won't/can't make it so almsot ever computer can run it with no lag.

If you ask live-chat support, they will ALWAYS say it is your video card or video drivers. But it seems pretty clear to me, that it is the keyboard reader routine, to blame. I agree that if they make it work better for everyone, more people will be able to play (and therefore pay them.)

It seems like, the more eye-candy they add, the fewer people can play. Perhaps the only things they can add without slowing the game more, are additional quests.

But anyhow, thank you all for responding to the poll. So far, so good. Glad to hear that there are actually a bunch of people out there, that don't have to melt their CPUs to play.</jealous> :-)
