Dual Cores and SLI

Submitted by Fideach on Sat, 2007-04-14 22:18. Technical Support

Does SEV not make use of Dual cores? I see in my task manager that its only making use at most 50% of my processor.
As well It was crashing anytime, even with a brand new install and patched, whenever I hit the construction button for some reason. Anytime I had SLI enabled.
Not that SEV graphics need SLI or anything, but I would like it if it didn't crash when its enabled.

Did you try to change Support Multithreading line to TRUE in Settings.txt?

Nope, didn't work. Even started a new game to see if it needed to load the new settings for it to take effect.

you can disable multithreading in your Bios, its a workaround not a fix though

it will work with 100% cpu, however its not how it should be

The game shouldn't be aware of a SLI situation. The graphics card driver, however, would be. Often crashes can be attributed to buggy drivers. I've noticed my new computer (with a GeForce 8800) has more issues with SEV than my old one (with a GeForce 6600, I think? Can't recall) and it's probably related to the relative newness of the 8800 card.
