"entropia did not shut down normally"

[beyor]

I am wondering if MA knows about the problem and is working on that. I hope it will soon be fixed!

hi there,

i have good news for FX Owners.
You can start the clientloader with one cpu (e.g. CPU7 for 8 cores).

for them open the taskmanager and right click "clientloader.exe".
change the number of used cpus under affinity and discard CPU0 to CPU6 .. or CPU0 to CPU2 on quadcores!

i've found out that you can have 2 cpus .. if you choose cpu3 and cpu7 on 8 cores only .. it will work too (its only one cpu per bulldozer module) .. its a problem with the game sheduling

have fun

Wow.. thanks. Leave it to the community to figure out a work around before anyone in support.

This works guys, see you in game.

Agreed! Now you can use this cpu and not have to worry about waiting till someone at MA figures it out or at AMD for that matter!! lol

Thank you fineprobe!

Game loaded and was able to log in. Attempted to teleport to twinpeaks and got the same error as usual. no time to fiddle will check later

Subsequent attempts:

3-7 Same error
7 Only Same error.

Further tinkering:
Disabled cores 4-8 in bios and ran client on core 3 affinity - runs but lags... though i had my settings maxed out

Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
System Model: GA-990FXA-UD3

hi there,

i forgot to say that you need to do this every time you're restarting your clientloader .. when the game crashes and/or clientloader too .. your windows will not know about this setting.

i know its a little bit work cause you can play without a update.

greetings

where can i find this "affinity" thing? Im in task manager, im in the "Processes" tab, and i clicked ClientLoader.exe *32 and i cant find affinity anywhere, even when i right click it.

what am i doing wrong? ^_^

edit nvm, somehow now it shows up O_o
