The latest version should now work fine with replays and also have low CPU usage during BNET screens. Download: http://r-1.ch/cpusavior-1.6.zip Source (not required): http://r-1.ch/CPUSavior.cpp Install: Put in the ChaosLauncher/BWL directory and tick the 'CPU Savior' plugin when launching. | ||

This is very appreciated. I hope this doesn't increase players delay who use it. I don't care if it skips frames during replay just don't mess up normal game play. | ||

Same issue in LAN vs computer, as in SC singleplayer and BW singleplayer. Its slow and choppy during all the menus as well unfortunatly. Edit: I tried it on Battle.net Europe against a random player and it became very slow for both of us. | ||

StarCraft Power Saver is different from CPU Savior in that it modifies the StarCraft executable directly so you don't need to run any external programs. From what I've read of CPU Savior, StarCraft Power Saver is similar to CPU Savior in most other ways. Any feedback on the tool would be appreciated. | ||

See, my CPU tends to overheat and cause system crashes ever so often when I play starcraft. That is, more often than not lately. Using CPU savior I at least avoid the overheating, but it's a traddeoff for a pretty darn big portion of lagg, mouse-related or otherwise - I seriously have problem telling. I've run a performance monitor which claims my CPU is running at 45-50% and RAM at ~25% when playing without the CPU savior, and about 3% CPU usage and a bit lower RAM when using CPU savior. On top of it I've recently started getting application errors too, something along the line of "Faulty program starcraft.exe, version 1.15.2.1, wrong module , version 0.0.0.0, wrong adress 0x00000000." - roughly translated from Swedish. Said errors at least - thankfully enough - don't crash the system, just the game. Reinstalled and cleared all SC-related files on computer I think 3 times in the past 2 weeks. All proper drivers installed for graphics card and checked the CPU fans for dust. I'm clueless by now :S I suppose this is just a shoutout to whoever recognizes said problem or just has some insight to it. And help/tips would be greatly appreciated. (Playing on an Intel Core 2 Quad-core Graphics card: GeForce 8800GT 512MB GDDR3 all on a -07 GIGABYTE mothercard, which modelnumber I for the life of me can't remember) | ||

How warm is your processor normally ? Is Starcraft the only game that crashes ? Maybe your heat sink isn't powerful enough (Quads get pretty hot). | ||

Sorry for the late response. I spent the past two days formating and reinstalling Windows XP and setting up all the right drivers etc etc. Finally getting the computer up to speed again. Gonna get games installed and stuff tomorrow and do a RAM-test etc. I'll get back to you on how it turns out (don't have any method of checking CPU temperature though) Oh and thanks R1CH for the new version, gonna try that out too! | ||

So while running SC without CPU Savior, the CPU usage of StarCraft.exe was about 90% all the fucking time.. And now with the fix, its about 0% all the time. And my mouse seems to be working like it should.. But don't take my words for granted because I haven't had the time to test it enough, just jet.. Maybe if I have the time later, I will check my CPU temperature while running CPU Savior and then do the same thing when I don't.. Brb, testing if I can run 16x in a replay without any further problems.. Thanks once again! ;-D | ||

Maybe you should take a look at task manager after logging on to battle.net and see for yourself. And lol at thinking getting a geforce 8 series video card will change anything.
