EPTtoday I wanted to play some Starcraft II after a longer period of not playing any (I think I started it 2 months ago for the last time..)
Somehow it did not go smoothly at all. After playing a custom game with my buddy, I tabbed out of the Menu to check on CPU-usage just to see that all my cores were up at constant 100% usage, the SC2.exe-process taking at least 89% of the capacity. The last time I was playing, it never went any higher than 30% if I remember correctly (I used to play on all ultra apart from a couple of too flashy things). Also I am experiencing heavy delay while ingame (~1-2 seconds), the CPU-usage drops to 60% once ingame, tho. It should be a lot lower tho, I guess.
I tried lowering the settings quite a bit, but that didn't help at all.
Any help would be highly appreciated !
