Optimizing my system to run the new playUO (is it even possible with my specs?)

[Solitary_man]

Hi all. I recently downloaded Sallos so I could try the new playUO. Everything installed perfectly and I had no hitches starting up the client and logging into hybrid. However, the CPU usage (when moving) was entirely too high for me to use this client as a primary. The old playUO use to run fine for me on the CPU side, were the system requirements increased for the latest release?

I'm also aware that my driver and system configerations and all that jazz can contribute to the clients CPU efficiency, though I do not know where to start. Does anybody have any tips on what I can tweak to get this client running at optimal efficiency for my system? (If I can even use it anymore) I seem to get the same performance no matter what my display settings are for PlayUO. Its always maxing out at 99-100.

My system specs:

AMD athlon XP 3000+
1 gig DDR SD
Windows xp home edition SP2
ATI Radeon x700 (Running the latest drivers I can have on this system without causing issues)

Firewall: Only the standard windows firewall
Antivirus: AVG free edition

System is also clean with no virus or spyware with only the basics running in the background. Are there any tweaks I can do, or do I have to wait for my new system?

I have about the same specs as you do (yours might even be better) and I run it just fine at a game size of 1024x768 and maximized, simply by turning all Display Settings down. Not sure what your problem is.
