Answer» Recently I have been having a PROBLEM when playing games like DoW 2 Beta, SupCom and Left4Dead. while playing the cpu usage will shoot up to 100%, which is strange because my computer plays the games fine in between the lag spikes. As I'm playing the cpu usage will be about 55% and the games runs fine at about 35 fps. The problem started occurring after I downloaded DoW 2. Plz Help TYWhat is the main taker of your CPU usage? When did this start? What are your computer specs?Downloaded DoW ? ? That may be the issue here...Oh I missed that part. I agree with Patio's assessment.Thanks guys. will just have to wait for the full release. Ahh WELL its only like 2 weeks. just deleted, and tried l4d to see if the prob had stopped but its still there. but what i dont understand is that, when i was playing the beta, the cpu usage sat at about 55% average between both cores. my cpu's a AMD Athlon 64 X2 DUAL 6000+ 3.01 GHz. Are there any kind of virus of bug that sucks up cpu memory and how do i get rid of them? Help would be MUCH apreciated. TY Quote from: patio on February 07, 2009, 08:23:19 PM Downloaded DoW ? ?

Quote it should not be its a open beta What part of BETA don't you get ? ?And, depending where you downloaded it from, it could contain a virus.WARNING: terrible pun Approaching. If it's only the one game, it's likely a issue with the game itself. But I'm not about to beta on it. HA HA HA. I apologize. That was uncalled for. There is no need to involve vibrant coloured fish in this discussion.Yes that was a bad pun. And yes DoW 2 is the man. I'll try what you said, iamyourmom, and will report back. I downloaded it through steam and that shouldn't contain viruses but you never know.Hey problems still happening. And I know its not the dow 2 beta because i deleted it. And cooling is not the problem because i got a new case, that's full size. It didnt seem to be happening and i thought it was a problem with steam because i play games through it. So i re installed and it the lag wasnt happening until i got back into steam after re install. Are there any problems, issues or bugs that could cause cpu lag through steam? If so plz post was to fix them and ways to fix. Ty
