This game can use less CPU resource. Why isn't it doing so?

DISCLAIMER: I only play on laptop, I have no idea how performance issues are on PC.

So after a really long while, today I forgot to turn on ThrottleStop and the game performance drops dramatically for me.

When I turned on ThrottleStop and lowered all CPUs limit on my laptop, performance improved.

I didn’t suffer any losses in graphic quality or sound. I can play in TBL, I can see my CPU temperature decreased in crowded place and the lodge screen

So yeah, the question, why is this game so resource consuming while it clearly doesn’t need to?

#2

Answer: Because the game is not optimized.

From what i understand, tos is designed to run in a single core but doing multiple rendering. There are many background particles rendering and shadow effect realism.

Here is the source. Maybe you can decode it better than i do

Whether it is single core or multi core is irrelevant honestly. The point is it doesn’t need to hog the CPU.

#5

srsly, single core… 1998 game engine??

edit: idk if this is why it take so long to just start up tos with my dear 4 core intel i5 cpu.

CPU is control processing unit. It is also the one determine how many control core. RAM and Graphic cards play a major role too.

The problem is : Can IMC really optimise ToS to support standard pc/laptop till high end gaming desktops?

I’m well within the required specs to run TOS with a custom build PC. I’ve never had my FPS lock up except for in town when a peak amount of players are on, but I can drop down to 10 FPS during mob clears in a party.

In a nutshell, it isn’t much better.
