Title: Question
Post by: Duel on November 06, 2011, 02:18:43 am: How can I reduce the Game's CPU Usage?

This is where I am really stuffed, everything runs the game, just with a bit of lag because of my CPU, the usage is like always on 90% / 100% while playing, and lags lags lags... Any way to reduce it? My graphics, and RAM is all fine... Just the CPU.. So basicly I don't want an FPS Booster..

Useful topic already :D
