By disabling TurboCore and Cool'n'Quiet however the game loads up very quickly and runs fine. Eventually it loads and the game seems to run totally fine after though. The game starts up but is very very slow to start, with the loading bar hanging for a minute or two before finally proceeding. One game that experiences problem #2 here on GOG is "Far Cry". Some problems can include a game just crashing outright, or starting up slow, or other kinds of misbehaviour depending on the nature of how and when the CPU frequency might change and how it might interact negatively with the game's bad assumptions about the CPU clock. That can result in a multitude of potential problems with no absolute pattern. CPU technologies that can dynamically scale the processor speed up or down (ie: AMD's TurboCore and Cool'n'Quiet or Intel's equivalents) can cause these timing algorithms to malfunction in games. Many games contain timing related algorithms that may possibly make bad assumptions about the clock frequency of the processor being a static thing. Generally this can be resolved by restricting the application to 1 or 2 cores using OS supplied or 3rd party addon utilities, ie: the "START" command in Windows.Ģ) CPU frequency scaling technology found in newer CPUs over the last decade or so. Multi-threaded apps that are not SMP aware/optimized and cause cache thrashing can dramatically slow down the app running on multi-processor and/or multi-core systems. If that works there are two problems that can have that symptom that I know of, but it could be something else also.ġ) SMP cache thrashing. At that point it looks and runs great don't think I'll even be looking into any widescreen mods.
