Myth has always been a resource hog. It's been my experience that myth will always use 100% of your system resources no matter how fast of a computer you install it on.

Myth's CPU usage behavior hasn't changed between 1.5.1 and my version (Yet). I will be looking into CPU usage reduction in the future.

Yeah, generally the idea is to give the best performance possible, which means taking all the resources the computer has to offer to be just that much more responsive. Perhaps a laptop-friendly option can be made to not drain the battery as much by sleeping more often.
Also, Melekor, I believe there were two ways for windows input code (the directinput checkbox in prefs), precisely because some systems had extreme input lag with one way or the other.

my myth log doesn't give squat info on the D3D problem:
I have an ACER Travelmate 4000, windows XP home, ATI 9700 btw
first a game offline, lower then native resolution, then one online (only me in it) same resolution, online crashed:
and then two games (offline/online) native resolution = no crashes
and two games higher then native res. -> online = crash

btw, i put 2 screenshots in your uploads folder on udogs from my D3D fucking up in multiplayer on native resolution, games worked except they looked a bit "odd" 
ctrl-F12 didn't seem to work in them either
that was in multiplayers with other people, all other tests were solo
as soon as game ended/i quit game my screen turned back normal
i think it might have something to do with playing in D3D after oGL, will try that tomorrow...
if i don't post here tomorro, send me PM again

Heh, I see that I forgot to take that gotfocus=1 message out :((((
And yes those screenshots do look pretty messed up. I think this one is going to be hard to track down, it is most likely related to some obscure detail that is specific to your hardware...
EDIT: BTW, Ctrl-F12 isn't supposed to work in D3D.

New build up: misc fixes, got rid of the gotfocus log message, added yet more D3D log messages, made myth remember your fullscreen/windowed mode state in the prefs file.
Posted: Sun Jun 05, 2005 4:24 am
in the last beta, i see a interfaces... button.
Is it implemented yet ? And if so, where do I have to put my interfaces plugins to be able to change ?
I think it's one more great idea

it is indeed the switch from OpenGL to D3D that does the strange thing to my screen
myth_log doesn't give no info though...

Brainbug, I've uploaded a build which behaves a bit differently; it recreates the window every time you switch between renderers, and it never has both an opengl and d3d context open at the same time. Can you see if this version still causes the problem?
Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2005 2:13 am
posting just so you know i haven't forgotten about this, but i haven't had time to test just yet, probably later today
Posted: Sun Jun 12, 2005 7:46 pm
ok, switching between D3D and openGL works now
tried different resolutions in D3D online, worked as well
did i forget anything?
