Quoting out of context ftl You make your own dolls, sir!

Don't forget that I had my whole fleet ready to attack right when that ended.

ragequit!

of course, even just your presence was useful, but there really was nothing that you did then.

Hmmmm the real reason to global warming???   

lol, that 25% is 100% of a single core, one of your 4 are maxed out.
But Quad's are really bad for gaming as they are underpowered and no game supports 4 threads yet, which is where dual cores come in, but in sins it won't make difference until it is multi threaded.


lol, no it doesn't you dont have a 15 core CPU, that reading would be based on something else, you can thank microsoft for being so stupid and saying otherwise

why did you revive a dead thread to say that someone is wrong? Especially when your the one thats wrong. A thread isnt a core, genious...

A thread really is a pipeline with a set of instructions sent to the CPU. A single core can handle multiple threads, thats how the magic box on your desk can run your music player and internet explorer...
Know your facts before you try to prove someone wrong, especially if your gonna revive something this old.

Still a cool post though (the 10k ships)

You obviously have no idea of what you are talking about. You can run any number of threads on one processor and while I don't know how many threads Sins uses, 15 sounds perfectly normal.

Edit: Didn't even see this was an old thread. While we're at it: If we can run that many ships.... why will the cap be so low that it's unfeasible to actually play a large map (unless you want to play a game of "catch the enemy's fleet while it rampages through your empire and vice versa")?

because we can't

at about 500 ships in system, things don't get their icons displayed, and my computer starts lagging with loads of overhead in all areas, so it's code or a bus somewhere.

Ok, now I have formed my Strategy! In my first game against Annatar I will restart the game at least four times till I get two more asteroids than him. I will turtle until I accumulate 30,000+ Desolators and Devastators and then I still won't attack because I dunno... I lick to be a d*ck? Then when he says something like: "If your gonna turtle its gonna be a long game." I will say something like: "Like your giving me much choice!". Then if he destroys my 30,000 flagships with like 20 Assailants I will be sure to make some excuse about how I ran out of time and leave game.

  

In programming a single thread is refered to as a core.
The game that me and my mate are programming is a multi threaded game, supporting 2 threads (2 cores).
It won't run an faster with 3 or 4 threads (3 or 4 cores)
I do know what im talking about btw

Sounds like you have your lingo mixed up, or you jsut learned incorrectly. Not sure about XP but in Vista press CTRL + ALT + Delete then go to processes then go to resource monitor and then to the CPU area. You can see multiple threads. Heres Screen Shot.

Oh btw, I win.   

thread != core

Totaly wrong.

Its too early at the morning to explain it to you, just read this:
Thread
Multithreading
Multicore

Damn, my programming Prof would have killed ya for this...

lol, I couldn't really care, I'd kill him first.
But most discussion's ive read in forums all dev's refer to a thread as a core, and from my programming if I make a program multi threaded (2 threads) it runs on 2 cores...
It's how ive been taught, its what I understand/beleve.
Education is different in America as to what it is here.

Yeah and Europe....

Thats not true at all, you using windwos and other programs in the background, they do require some calculation all the time. So if the game is programmed to use 2 cores, the duel core will have to share one of its cores to other things which is running in the background. On a Quad the program will be able to have 2 full cores all to it self.


FYI this took me about 2 full days where one core was running the game all the time. Once you get beyond the 1000 units it will be unplayable.


actually i got to 20k ships

Oh and Sins DO support multi cores

SgtDPilla i hope the modding stuff you asked for will help you see its not playable beyond the 1000's units, and that beta 4 supports multi cores
