Slow motion movement - not an affinity issue and it's driving me insane!! - Page 3

hey, wanted to post an update.

I tried cpu-z and speedfan. the former appears to just give me information, but not allow me to adjust anything. speedfan looks like it has the ability to adjust fan speeds and cpu throttling, but it will not allow me to using bootcamp. presently I'm doing some serious web digging to find an answer to this problem.

here's another update: being unable to disable the throttling of my cpu, I have found a work around. the slow moving problem is gone if I have another game or two running in the background to keep the CPU up. this is obviously not ideal, but it works for now. anyone else still having this problem should give it a try.

Give this a try.

gave that a shot, and it appeared to throttle the cpu, but it wasn't very consistent, and it actually caused my computer to BSOD due to allowing me to undervolt too low. I fixed it though. I stumbled on this when I was troubleshooting, and it feels safer because it doesn't allow me to undervolt to the point of instant BSOD:

RightMark CPU Clock Utility

Either way, I could not get the CPU to reliably NOT throttle. it did allow me to set some standards though, at least it appears that way. I still have the slow moving thing unless I'm running another EQ instance in the background.

RMCPUClock shows cpu speed in my system tray, and I noticed that my core 2 duo is running at 1.67ghz with just one EQ instance...when I launch 2, it shoots up to 2.79ghz.

so I'm not sure if I'm not using RMclock right, or if maybe throttlestop would be more effective at this point I'm not sure.

basically I'm still having trouble turning throttling off entirely, and ramping up my cpu and keeping there.

ok, the problem is solved, at least for me. I found the answer in the dual/multi core sticky in a post made earlier this month.

run msconfig, go to boot tab, click advanced, set /NUMPROC= 1, reboot.

this makes perfect sense, and I wish I would have read the entirety of that thread beyond the bind affinity thing. I read elsewhere that the core 2 duo's will not throttle up unless both cores have a significant load. this way, you're forcing windows to operate with one core. problem solved. this is apparently the best way to solve this problem running bootcamp on a macbook pro, since we don't have the option of disabling speedstep.

wanted to post this here so anyone now or in the future who does a search for the slow motion movement problem (as I did) can find an answer.

Yes we had that issue running slowly at random. We tried several different things before using the MSconfig and set to 1 processor and that did correct the issue.
