Edit 2 ======================================

So, i had tested all i could with all possible solution found in internet, the unpark thing and messing with S1engine.ini file, no good results in cpu usage, it still uses only 2 cores at full.. and did not found a way to fix UI bug.. Yet the unpark can help ppl with 2 cores processor..

I still could not try the argument "USEALLAVAILABLECORES" found on UE3 official site here. http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/CommandLineArguments.html becouse i cant run the game if i dont start from launcher.. the only way the seens this comand to work its puting the argument in command line to run TL.exe, so only EME can test this..

Today, the best way to run the game its to have the stronger core value, with intel core i3/i5/i7 OC, or have luck not having UI problem..

yes im sad, i dont wanna spend more money to run this game, i already did buy current pc to play TERA.. Oo


Original text ==============================

After weeks in research and trying all kind of stuffs to get better FPS in TERA, none realy works for me. I have a 4 core AMD CPU, and TERA only uses 50% max (2 cores), what gives me crap FPS, sinse TERA as UE3 are CPU based, combine that with my UI bug, i got some times 5fps in boss fights DGs..

Ok, here is the deal.. on Unreal documentations i found this command "USEALLAVAILABLECORES".

sorce : http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/CommandLineArguments.html

Now im at work and cant test if works, there is 3 possible ways for this to work:

-Put this comand in some .ini file like S1engine.ini
-Start launcher, log in, then start the game with cmd, like "d:\games\tera\folder i dont know name\TL.exe -useallavailablecores" , i dont know if will accept login

Finaly if EME put that line on Launcher when press the "Play" button...

If anyone want to try this and feedback us.. i do apreciate, or even EME staff try this.. Run the game using all cores for sure would bring great peformace joy.. Oo

Edit : ===================================

You guys must check this, mostly the "Unpark" part, thx a lot for the info CZIvo

C:\Program Files\TERA\Client\S1Game\Config\S1Engine.ini

CTRL+F -> CompatLevelGPU
below this lane add CPUNumLogicalProcessors=2
number after "=" is count og your cores.. 8 core machine 8, dual core 2....

save.. congratulation, your Tera client now using all available cores. (tested on my laptop with Coe 2 Duo before this setting my TERA.EXE uses only 48-50% of CPU, after this change uses full cpu - both cores)
BUT if not..
you need to download:

http://www.coderbag.com/Uploads/Unpark-CPU-App.zip

start it, click to CheckStatus, if you see somewhere under STATUS - PARKED click to "unpark all", this disallow one most annoying feature of windows vista/7/8 - system trying save energy and bla bla bla simply "park" some cores of your processor and application like tera simply can not use it..



if you have fps issues due to low hw specs, in same file S1Engine.ini find
ScreenPercentage=100.000000
and lower this value.. example to
ScreenPercentage=90.000000
or
ScreenPercentage=80.000000
it will HIGHLY increase your FPS, !BUT! you must have deactivated lighting options ingame i dont know exactly name.. is in Settings / Video there is any.. realtime compensation of lighting or something like that.. then this can be activated but choose above must be set to "1" NOT to "2" if you set it to "2" (more lighting, more light effects) gam will divide display and show really strange something :D

*if you modify ScreenPercentage=100.000000 to another value then 100.000000 you ill not see loading screens anymore (you can see only loading bar but not loading screen image, not sure why)

This IS an intresting find, however, becareful when messing around with the .inis.
One wrong line can mean bye-bye birdy for tera.

If you do decide to try this back up your ini file.

I'll give this a go, though I don't have FPS issues so I don't know if any feedback from me would be any use.

weve already tried this before... it doesnt work if we put it in because it isnt turned on in the game... this would have to be done by BHS most likely.

besides... most of the problem isnt that it only uses two cpu cores... but the fact that it uses the cpu for everything graphical instead of the gpu

i havent see anyone trying this.. anyway, its on the epicgames site, and its supost to be used on .exe file, so the .ini file its just a guess..

I still hope that someone can make this work, or EME ask BHS to make this fix.. Oo

i will in near future release here step by step ini tweaking tutorial.. i have working in Unreal 3 many times, im map/mutator developer for UT3, and i have learned really much about unreal 3 engine, then i know what to add where and what dit to another value to get maximum efectivity..

i will only need from en masse support some informations about what featured are disabled and not wlcomed, like FOV and others.

Tried both, I saw really no change, I think. My GF has a better video card but the same cpu and our fps was around the same. (Mines overclocked a little, and I did both changes in the post above, she has done none of that.)
However, I never looked before but it does appear TERA is using all 4 cores.

But was it like that before? I have no idea and I'm too lazy to check.
