Compiling in 2003 literally kills my computer (Cross post from /f483/

[Improved]

Have anyone experienced this? Whenever I try to compile the FlyFF source, applications tend to freeze. My CPU dosen't increase at all.

I use Win7x64. My specs are decent, so that shouldn't be the problem unless some of it dosen't synergize well with VS2003.

Made a topic in both sections, as it might be hardware, and the sections rarely gets any decent replies.

Oh gosh, so sorry I didn't see this before!


If it helps, list out your PC specifications. Are you running any virus applications in the background? If so, list those out to. Also, which program are you using to compile the source?



If applications tend to freeze and it bogs down heavily, it points to either a corrupt program, a memory read error, or just a bogged down CPU (WHich really wouldnt be the case, in this situation).


What type of hard drive are you using? If its an SSD, compiling doesn't work all too well on an SSD, its those small files that cause them to slow down and make the computer think its freezing (Depending on the application size).

if you're a serious coder/developer for private servers do yourself a favor and run a windows xp 32bit VM. Saves tons of hassles as that's what all the games we work on were developed on

Not to mention Olly and other goodies don't like 64bit yet.
