Diilicious Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I dont know why but can somebody explain this? I dont think any game I currently own does this. It does me a concern. It is supposed to use this much resource? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason132 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I only get 20-40% usage from my 1060, also the game usually uses between 2-3gb of ram. Something must be off, are you using tons of mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebula Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Mods load the processor and RAM. Even with a lot of mods, these values are not normal. There is something wrong with your graphics card. Have you changed the thermal paste for a long time, cleaned fans and radiators from dust? Maybe bitcoins are being farm on your computer, and you don't even know about it?

Diilicious Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 I dont use mods, just the base game. I run it in 4k but even so, even star citizen only uses 40% of my GPU. it seems incongruent that something like this would demand so much resource. as for the age of the thing it is quite new, no other game i play has anything close to this.

They can account for high CPU usage as well. If your system is lagging unexpectedly open task manager and try to very quickly look for a high cpu using task to suddenly disappear from task manager. The most recent one I saw would run then close once you opened task manager to try and hide itself, but there was a 1-2 second period where I could see it before it did so. If it's one that works like that, you can also leave task manager open and see if the odd usage suddenly goes away. Try running some antivirus scans (Avast! antivirus has a pretty good free version) and Malwarebytes Antimalware is good specifically for malware. The built in Windows Defender isn't particularly good and Microsoft sucks at keeping it regularly updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunter893 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Is v-sync enabled in the graphic settings? If it's not, I am willing to bet the graphics loop is running as many times per second as it can. V-sync should limit it to 60 frames per second (or whatever your monitor's refresh rate is... Typically 60 Hz though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkler Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 turn off v-sync. this isn't some malware issue, it's just zomboid also NEVER use avast, it's more malware than anti-malware at this point. you shouldn't need anything more than a windows security scan then a malwarebytes manual scan over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaGrey Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 If you have two monitors, perhaps some of the usage is down to drawing the windows desktop on the second one. Try turning it off, if this is the case. Personally, I'd not expect it to use 100% of the gpu, regardless. It certainly doesn't on my 980ti at ~qhd res or 4K. PZ's not remotely built for 4K regardless. We aim for 1080p, as most of our audience is on the lower-end of the hardware spectrum, on computers that are as much as 10 years old. Naturally, it doesn't scale well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
