Xion Community

Sometimes, but not always, when I change resoltuion on my laptop or go to extend desktop I run into a problem with Xion. When I change resolution or extend Xion cpu usage goes from 2% to ~30%. Is anyone else having this problem?

Note: Whenever I close Xion and re-open it the cpu usage goes back to normal.

Does this occur with specific skins, or all of them?

I have noticed some strange behaviour similar to this. On some skins incorporating the viz, such as Thump, the cpu usage increases when changing the resolution. But this only seems to happen on certain resolutions and only if the viz is activated or visible. The cpu increase I get is only 3-10% and it goes back down if the resolution change is reversed.

Running Xion with Thump (box open) at 1280x1024 uses 0% cpu usually. Knocking the resolution down to 1024x768 results in a 5-10% increase on the cpu. Only reducing it to 1152x864 has no effect.

Testing out the same settings using Overdrive, which is more intensive, but doesn't use the viz, has no effect.

Extending the desktop seems to have only a small effect, I use Ultramon at times and everything becomes more complicated if its active, especially video overlays.

No replies at all, I'm assuming this has been fixed for you UnseenRage?
