[0.16.51] CPU usage skyhigh so player is responding with lag
Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2019 7:01 pm
Hi,
When playing Factorio it seems as if the keypresses are lagging from time to time. This causes the player to annoyingly wander off continuously into a direction for a few seconds, while I'm no longer pressing wsad into that direction. This is super annoying and I'm hoping someone can help getting this solved.
It's likely that my CPU is a bottleneck as performance monitoring shows that it is frequently hitting 100% (and the GPU isn't). So I've tried to reduce the load by changing the graphic settings to the lowest possible, producing a super pixelated game. But I still get this keyboard-lagging effect, even on a brand new map. Also the FPS and UPS are on a stable 60/s. I've noticed that the lagging effect is greater when zoomed out. My CPU is an i5-7300@2.60GHz with 8 GB RAM and integrated GPU (Intel HD Graphics 620).
Are there any other settings I should try? Or simply give up and buy a new laptop?
Appreciated!
