No idea if it’s even worth asking here with the underfunded support staff but here goes.
I noticed something while monitoring performance in TWW that the main cpu load of the game is hopping around on 4 different threads, whereas in Win10 and DF the main load stayed loaded on 1 thread start to finish.
So in my case it starts on thread 1, then jumps to thread 2, then 5, then 6 and back to 1. And this repeats indefinitely. Each hop lasts roughly 5-6 seconds.
Now I was told that hopping threads within the same physical core is fine, but hopping between cores has a performance penalty. So is something broken? Is it the game or Windows itself?
