![]() Perhaps on the older machines back when the game was first released, it only used one core on some machines. ![]() If you are certain the game only uses 1 core and these must have been other processes running, then those processes must be ones that the game runs, which, technically, is still the game using 3 cores. The other 3 cores were in the warm to lukewarm range. I didn't go as far as sticking a thermometer on them. Since I had the covers off of my computer, I also did a feel test of the cores with my fingers, and all 3 cores were generating the same amount of heat. I was using a mod that seriously increases the number of mobs and elevates the level of many of the mobs to Elite and Boss monsters, and the loot drops were tremendous, so yeah, it was very obvious when all of that was going on. All 3 cores were in use and all 3 were heating up at the same time, but only doing so in tandem while I was in the game. I watched the Afterburner console while the game was not running, and then while I was running other apps, and then while I was doing other things on the computer, and then while the game was running, and then while different things were happening in the game. I checked and rechecked it at the time, to make sure it was using all 3 cores. ALL of the core's registered the same amount of usage. Originally posted by HiFive:Okay, maybe my MSI Afterburner was wrong, but as I've stated in another thread recently, it showed that Torchlight was using 3 of the cores on my 8-core machine. I am almost 100% certain this is your problem unless you have a GPU that is from over a decade ago. It is confirmed that this game only uses one CPU core. Here's a thread I made about this issue back in September that was the one you posted in. Post an Afterburner screenshot here with all of your CPU cores visible with the game running in an area with tons of stuff on the screen (where you have frame drops). Whatever else you are seeing is the CPU running something else on your PC. Trust me, unless anything has changed in the last 3-4 years (which, I'm sure it hasn't) This game only utilizes one CPU core. Those other cores are running other aspects of your system. When you see one core of your CPU at or near 90+% and then you see other cores at 5-25%, those other cores are not being utilized by the game itself. Okay, maybe my MSI Afterburner was wrong, but as I've stated in another thread recently, it showed that Torchlight was using 3 of the cores on my 8-core machine. I have a 6700k and a 1080Ti and my framerate drops from 120fps all the way down to 40fps because one CPU core cannot keep up with everything on screen at 1440p with settings maxed out. It sucks, and you have to live with it or drop settings. If you download MSI Afterburner or a program similar to it, you will likely find that your GPU is hardly being utilized and the one core of your CPU that is being utilized is pegged at 100% when a lot is going on on the screen. The only "fix" is to play at a lower resolution and drop your settings. The game was made on an outdated engine and that's the way it is. ![]() This game, like many old ARPGs (Torchlight, Grim Dawn, Titan Quest ect) only utilize one CPU core and no, there is no "fix" for this. Even without that, your problem is probably the CPU. No GPU details, no CPU details, no resolution details, nothing. Originally posted by Necroshine:You gave us no information at all. ![]()
