[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 403592] Re: CPU goes skyhigh when starting to play.

[ubuntu user]

Sounds more like hardware/driver issues instead of an alien arena bug.
What graphics card and cpu do you have, and does this happen for other
games?  I think this is a pretty common occurrence for advanced graphics
games, at least for me.  There are several in-game options to decrease
graphics if you really want to lower cpu usage.

4. Well, as soon as I'm starting to play, the CPU goes skyhigh.

I'd like to know what's causing it & if it can be fixed.
