Problem with AGS games...

[Lucifiel]

In the past few days, I've been experiencing very high cpu load when trying to run an AGS game. This happens in the intro and when there are animations/cutscenes.

I suspect it could be a heatsink-related issue 'cos I've had my pc shut down due to heat issues but would also like to know if anyone else has had such problems. After all, my system has a couple of software issues too. 

And oops!!! I'm actually trying out "5 days a stranger" and "Ben Jordan 1". These 2 games were all right at first but soon peaked to around 100%.

Very interestingly, Fountain of Youth only had 1 peak of 98% cpu but that dropped to around 10% soon.

Edit: Hmmm... I switched to 320 x 200 mode and the problem still happens! Though, not during the intro anymore.

I think its better you ask this in the Technical Forum

Uhmmm but isn't the technical forum for those who're scripting games with AGS? And not for those who're having problems running AGS games?

Nevermind. I solved the issue.

It was resolved by having the heatsink reseated. And uhh the other cause is bad VIA drivers. *sighs* VIA is always such a PITA.
