Visual C++ Express problem

by kcpdad · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 05/13/2009 (2:16 pm) · 1 replies

When running the stronghold demo in Visual C++ Express 2008 either with a debug or release build the VCExpress.exe process eats up the cpu such the demo is unplayable, maybe 1 frame every 5-6 seconds if that. The IDE works fine, it operates as expected except for being a cpu hog.
Anyone run into a similar issue?

Check your processes(If you haven't). That JUST happened to me a few minutes ago, and for some odd reason I had 8 instances of the game open at once, it seems I crashed out a few and it didn't free up the processor.
