Task manager -> processes, highlight steam, right click, set priority to lowest.
That's the solution I've been using for the past year and a half. -----Original Message----- From: Adam "amckern" Mckern [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: March 3, 2006 11:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [hlcoders] Steam.exe useing 100% cpu at random times Steam.exe useing 100% cpu at random times? When runing a half life mod, or half life 2 mod (or even the core game its self) steam.exe randomly takes over the cpu time, and wont give it up - i left the computer for 45 minuites, and had to end task steam.exe so i could keep playing the game... I am not running any beta software, and this bug has been around before the firends beta came into effect. steam.exe also eats 100% cpu when i play unrealted games, such as unreal, quake 2, dawn of war, etc. I have the febuary direct x 9 update, and my computer aduit is at http://ammahls.com/random/report.htm - has any one else run into the issue? I also used the steam installer version 1.59.0.0 -------- My Website http://www.ammahls.com Lead Programer NightFall http://www.nightfallmod.net Developer of CST and ZHLT 3.0 http://www.zhlt.info Team Lead - Prime - Website TBA... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
