OK.. how do I enable AH to use all of my cores?

[Tigger29]

No matter what I do, it only uses two:

The game architecture only allows the use of two.

[Tac]

you need to open a new AH account per every 2 cores you got...


be your own bombing raid. 

[curry1]

how many cores do you have?

[Masherbrum]

how many cores do you have?

I'm going out on a limb and by the 6GB of RAM indicated................a Quad Core.

i'm curious as to why theres 48 graphs in the CPU usage history, i have a quad core and only show 1 graph per core, or under view i can change it to just 1 graph for all 4 Cpu's, click the view, scroll down till you see CPU History click that and you'll have graph options, mine was like i said either 1 graph per core or 1 graph for all 4 cores ..... edit... i am using XP pro 64

I looked into this too...and ditto.

easy, pay them to hire a bunch of very expensive codemonkeys to recode it to use all your cores. just for you


PS why are you guys assuming that PCs can only use a single quad core processor?

[Skuzzy]

The short answer is Aces High uses all the cores it can use.  To use any more would not have any benefit at all.

That looks like a few too many cores. My quad i7 only shows 8 cores in Windows7 64 bit with Hyper-threading enabled. AH runs well on two of the cores. The only thing that has used all eight logical cores is DVD video editing software. Makes a 2 hour job run in about 45 minutes.

4 socket G34 board
12 core Opteron 6000 series processors
= 48 cores


edit: btw 16 core Opterons will be out later this year iirc, so 64 core systems will be possible

  Wait, so I need a Quad core cpu to run more than 4GB of RAM? I guess I better not put more in since I only have 2 cores.

[Buzzard7]

No you need an OS that is capable of addressing 4Gb or more ram. I think 64 bit OS is the only ones doing that now.

I was gunna say... this is a "look how many cores I have" thread rather than a "how do I get AH to run better" thread.
