Incredibly High CPU Usage even with low settings
Hello, I've just installed Distant Horizons along with Iris, Sodium, and Indium for 1.20.4 Fabric singleplayer, and I've hit a massive CPU usage spike while using the mod. Even at balanced or low settings I stay at 95-100% CPU usage. I have checked my system usage, and my GPU remains at 30% usage with 120 FPS. I have 32 gigs of ram with 16 currently allocated. I am aware this mod is CPU intensive, but I am pretty sure this is more than what it should be (I am running this on an i7 12700k). I have lowered the total thread count to 5 and raised it as high as 15 (lower threads marginally helps), I've installed C2ME, Noisium, and Starlight, none of which gave a serious boost, and even increased the chunk update time to 10 seconds, which still leaves me at 70% CPU usage when combined with low settings. Running the game on Aggressive CPU loading has caused crashes. Is this an incompatibility, a settings issue, or is this just the performance I should expect?
Solution
Sorry I didn’t see this earlier. I tried all the suggestions given here, but they didn’t seem to have a huge impact. I did lower my thread count as much as was possible and reduce ram to 10 gigs, which had no effect initially but after making a new world my usage goes down to between 40-60%, which seems normal. I’m not sure if that fixed it or not but if you have the same problem it’s worth a try
