50% cpu usage issue

[osi_layer8]

For those who are not updating with the SVNs, here is an article to fix the cpu usage issue that occures on multi core/cpu machines:

Age of Valor :: View topic - Fixing CPU hog issue in RunUO2 RC1 with dual cpu/core

Even if you are on single cpu I would recommend doing this change to avoid future headaches. Not fixed, this causes your server to support little to no players as it eats up the whole cpu (its equivalent to 100% cpu usage on single core)

The fix is very easy to do, in theory, your changing a 0 with a 1. That's it.

Found that "bug" a long time ago. Agree it's an easy and harmless fix. On my system, I believe I set the sleep interval to some fractional less than millisecond thing and it still drops CPU utilization to nil.

Like this:

                TimeSpan multiCoreSleep = new TimeSpan( 10000 );
                TimeSpan singleCoreSleep = new TimeSpan( 1000000 );

                while ( !m_Closing ) {
                    Thread.Sleep( m_MultiProcessor ? multiCoreSleep : singleCoreSleep );

this is fixed in RC2 right?

[Dereckson]

Yep, as you can see on http://svn.runuo.com/repos/runuo/devel/Server/Main.cs

[Alex21]

lol they said it would be out by the end of what month?

does anyone actually have this already fixed. someone tried to help me with the directions on HOW to edit and recompile, but i just cant get it im sorry. im not a programer and when it comes to figuring out how to edit and compile, im just not good at it. thanks

Hi,

Here the RC1 core recompiled with only this modification:

RunUO-RC1-multicpufix.exe (x86)

Use it at your own risk. I don't warrant it runs, it won't cause the loss of all your data, a thermonuclear war.

Does anyone have the pre-compiled RC1 exe fix linked above by Dereckson? [link is dead]. If so could they reupload it here, or perhaps send it to me?

Thanks much!!
-GhostRiderGrey


Edit: Got the RC1 source files and will try and compile the fix.
