Topic: only 1 of 16 cores used

Hello, i have a 16 core ryzen but widelands uses only 1 of those cores. I red in one forumtread that Widelands does not set single or multi core itself how can i make my computer use multicore for widelands?

Ok, well, the thread ruling the gamelogic hits the roof and slows down very much. i play an 400 x 400 game. Maybe i have to reset some effects. thank you.

If you are using windows 7 up, the device manager can tell you how many cores a process is using but that function is hard to find and has different ways to get it with each different version of windows. For Windows 10, there is a seperate utility available from microsoft developer that lists how many cores a task is using.I can't remember its name at the moment.

The aussies are coming, ya ho! ya ho!

Hi i am a native linux usr with mint21.3 on 64 amd ryzen 7 with 16core and 16gb. i have a icon for the system monitor in my taskbar and i see a large amount off CPU % use hop from one core to another exept when the messengerbox is open, then there is 1 core at 100% and it stays there. further i think to have read in a tread that multicore is NOT implemented by widelands at all. so the core hopping is what mint21 does. which thread i dont know, i looked for GPU and found about 10 links.

Meanwhile i discovered that the actual play time as given in the Panel is TO SLOW, it TAKES 2 to 3 seconds top count 1 second of play time but well, i have a map off 447x447 and 591 soldiers and the lot of buildings.

very off topic:
