    Running on Windows Vista, the game is using more than 90% processor resources.
    I'm using a 4400 dual core AMD, 4 GB RAM, 512 MB GeForce 8800 card, etc.....

    Any ideea what's wrong?

    I've tried to set the compatibility mode in different settings but no results.

    first of all windows vista sucks ! :D and second of all yea the game keeps eating alot of resources no matter what configuration you have, but you can try reinstaling the windows or put better versions of windows like windows xp or windows 7, you may have this problem because of your windows problems or bugs

    Agree but, before the last updates, the game works fine. 45 - 60 % max.
    Thanks for advice but windows xp time has passed.

    For those who have dual core or better....
    Open task manager: select the game process (main.exe), right click and select afinity...
    A list with active processors will be apear.
    u can deselect all the active processors except CPU 0 and than OK.
    This will increase your PC performance while game runnig.

    In my case, the PC resources decreased from 92% to 56-60%.

    i think CASE CLOSED
