Title: Trem Utilizing Dual Cores
Post by: vashts121 on December 24, 2007, 07:06:43 am

How can I make Trem use both cores? I am on XP, and I know you have to edit and recompile the source in order to do it, and I think it's only for Linux. Is there a way to do it for XP?

What Version of XP are you using?

Would that actually be useful? Trem should run okay on hardware that's non-recent.

Tremulous has no threading support, and due to ioq3 limitations it never will. ( yeah yeah, that's what they keep saying ).

So whats r_smp for?

r_ = renderer cvar, only the drawing logic is affected if I understand correctly.

I believe SDL supports multiprocessing on Mac systems, but no others.
