Subject: CPU working while Poser should be idle

 Hi,

From a couple of weeks I have a very annoying problem with Poser Pro. When a scene is loaded (even if is just a V4) The GUI is slow, sloppy, and unresponsive. Looking at the Task manager, I see that PoserPro.exe seems always around 50% of CPU usage (sometimes even more). When I make some input (for example moving the camera or selecting a dial) there is always a delay of a couple of seconds before the program reacts. Even the redraw of windows and menus freezes for some instants.

When I start a render (with separate process) FFRender.exe goes to 50% (I have an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHZ) and PoserPro.exe drops around 2 or 3%. But when the render is finished, the main exe starts again eating CPU clocks.

What is PoserPro.exe doing? Indexing something? But the hard disk light does not seem active, only the CPU is.

I have unistalled everything and reinstalled Poser with its latest service pack. The situation was normal for a couple of days, then the madness is returned, apparently without reason.

I have installed nothing strange and every antivirus and malware scanner seems  happy with my machine.

Any suggestions?? Thanks!

Giorgio

If you have a light or camera selected it eats CPU like that.  I understand problem has been reported and fixed, maybe patch comes out in next SR

if you want, (and you're on a PC) try pulling up Task Manager. It will show what programs are running; if you need more detail, what processes are running. Usually 'system idle' is how much isn't running.

It's best not to mess with starting or stopping processes, unless you really know what you're doing. However, if you see something spike when you're seeing strange behavior like that, the Poser folks can probably explain it.

I was aware of this problem (light or camera selected causes high CPU) for Poser 8, not Poser Pro. There will not be an SR for Poser Pro.

You are talking about Poser Pro, not Poser Pro 2010, right?


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

Yes, I am talking about Poser Pro, the one right after Poser 7.

That is why I asked which Poser. If it is Poser Pro, I have no ideas.

I never heard of this with Poser Pro, and I'm not going to be able to reproduce it even if I were willing to try by re-installing Poser Pro.

You should contact SM.
