X3: TC - Enable multiprocessor support?

[BlkKnight]

Is there some way I can enable multi processor support?

No. Using more than one core would require rewriting the engine.

Thanks for the quick response.

You would have thought that a newly released game would utilise modern hardware.

You mean like all the other newly released games that also don't support it......

New game, old engine. And multicore support generally requires a ground-up rewrite.

there already is multiprocessor support, just not a lot of it
a lot of the directx stuff runs on separate threads, including part of the graphics engine. The main game engine is still one thread, but the other threads combined can use between 30 and 70% of my 2nd core.

This is probably more something Windows is doing as opposed to the X3 engine doing it. Would be far more efficient to have X3 do it but as previously stated this would be a huge undertaking.

I know im replying to an old thread but in my own research ive found the following to be helpfull when running this game

1) Run the game explicitly on a single core this means entering task manager right clicking on the game's executable and setting affinity to 1 core only.

2) after setting the game to use a single core only, set it's process priority to realtime, this allows the game to completely take over a single core of your cpu and use it to maximum effect, all other multithreadable processes will happily use the other core(s) as per normal

after doing this i noticed my 10x seta performance to be far better than it was previous maybe 2-3 times better framerate
