Spring RTS Engine

Hello all,

how do you restrict spring to run on one core in linux? because after 10 minuets of playing spring suddenly gets really slow (<1 fps) even when I'm far away from any rendered units.

Spring is a single threaded application, so it only uses one core by default.

then why is it suddenly getting so slow?

Is something else competing for CPU? You should give details about your system and OS setup.

kubuntu 8.10 kde 3
AMD 5200 2x
nvidia 7200gs
kde,spring all running on one x server
no other stuff running

7200gs? Ouch, that's gotta hurt.

I think it is a bug in Spring, because in the middle of the game with 3 AIs having HD3850 i zoomed camera to near floor & framerate did not changed at all rating at ~43 FPS!

that's what I would think as well but it hapens suddenly i mean its 40 fps one second and 1 the next

what mod?

all iv tryed: BA, EE, spring 1944

try to increase your swap? (spring eats your ram)

that would hard, because id have to resize a partition. Iv got 2GB of ram and 1GB of swap. ill try monitoring my ram while playing a spring game and then report back.
