TC Lights using to much CPU! - Orange™ - 2012-07-04 18:04

Right only happens when using TC Lights. At first i thought it was Team speak but did a few test where i had TC lights on and team speak. Tc lights takes up 50% cpu and lags team speak and my game. So i took off TC Lights and found my Team speak didn't lag.

My pc specs are (i know abit old but shouldnt be an issue)

Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (32Bit)
DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo E6850, 3000 MHz
500GB Drive
512MB Geforce 8800GT
4GB Ram (3.3GB only because of 32Bit)

Anyone can help me please! It's bugging me because i like to be on TS while copping and this issue is stopping me!

Thanks!

Are those 50% an estimate or did you see that in the task manager?

Hm. I tried this test myself running it with lfs open and both lights/sirens on and found it to take 00-02% of my cpu max, and around 5,700k memory - that's on a pentium 4 machine which is pretty old Tongue

you sure it's tc lights doing it?

Only problem I ever have with tc lights is sometimes the mouse randomly flickers on the screen when it should be hidden :/

It cant be TC Lights. Have you done a virus scan lately in safe mode?

Ye it's possible some virii has infected the program give the exe a scan

I had the same problem but after reinstalling windows it was alright. Smile

I have a worse system than you orange. I usually have running teamspeak, TC lights, skype and MSN with LFS and no lag whatsoever. I check task manager and TC lights uses next to nothing.

Think you might have a virus or memory issues.

Could just as easily be a broken .NET install
