  1. I get stuttering and bad frame drops,


    Number of processors: 8
    Processor architecture: x86
    Processor: AMD64 Family 21 Model 2 Stepping 0, AuthenticAMD
    ProcessAffinityMask: 000000FF
    SystemAffinityMask: 000000FF
    WindowsVersion: 6.2.9200

    EnvAppId: 211820

    The Steam Overlay has been detected.
    Disabling the Steam overlay may improve render performance.

    Environment Compatibility Flags: ElevateCreateProcess

    Done.

    Might be nothing to do with the CPU. Having an amazingly good CPU doesn't make a difference if you have insufficient RAM or a bad GPU.
    If you have either bad RAM or bad GPU, those could be causing the lag, not the incredibly good CPU.

    Its nothing to do with his setup. For some reason the game uses 97% of my CPU yet can play current gen high requirement with no issue and yet a game that should be super low requirements kills high end gaming rigs. Thats the terrible optimisation but again beta is beta just hoping theyre going to fix it soon. Acutally would like to hear from the devs on this. Could be a mulit core thing?

    Doubtful, there's no reason why more cores would make it worse. Sure, it could be that more cores wouldn't improve performance, but make it worse? Very doubtful.

    I've only got an i5 second gen, yet it only takes 20% or under. Seems like something you're just doing wrong.

    Are you using Duel monitors?

    I too have a AMD 8 core CPU. I also removed the Overlay and changed the compatibility mode. I was still lagging. Once I removed one of my monitors the game ran smoothly.( was hooking my PS3 to my other monitor when I discovered this, who knew : / )

    Hope this helps!

    Fix that " The Steam Overlay has been detected." warning first.
