Strange YR 100% GPU Usage Problem (with video)

[ekaano]

Hello there everybody,

 

I am having a really strange issue lately with YR CNCnet client.

 

My specs are:

MSI B350 Mortar Arctic

GSkill FlareX 2400Mhz 2x8GB 

Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.8GHz

GeForce GTX 1080 (had the same issue with 1070 as well)

During this scene gpu memory and clock goes to 100% and windows task manager shows 100% GPU 3D usage.

 

I reinstalled windows from scratch, reverted back the overclock to stock, dowloaded the game again, reinstalled it.

 

 No luck.

 

Do you have any idea why this can be happening?

Solved the issue by setting the affinity to two cores.

The game used to run on a single core which caused the throttling.

Now everything is fine.

The game may crash randomly if it's allowed to run on multiple processors.

If that happens and you have to set single processor affinity again, you can disable the score screen by putting SkipScoreScreen=Yes under [Options] in RA2MD.INI
