hmmmm ......
is ur DOTA an installed version ?

mine is just a copied folder
it's eating 100% of one of my CPU cores ...

settings at MAX
=P

i'm still wonder is it because of I never installed the copy ?
or it's the new Blizzard patch which did this
the previous patch i did not have such problems

my PC specs definitely have no problem running WC3
i doubt it's my RAM or CPU problem or GC

played Crysis, COH4, Dirt all at high settings no lag at all .....


but i lazy reinstall WC3
hahahahahaha

i think older games will hog entire cpu, but newer games wont, it's all about did your wc3/dota laggy/unresponsive or not? u can try other games, cs 1.6, i will also hog entire cpu when it run.

Facing same problem with my sister's Dell Vostro 1400. CPU Usage sky rockets when I play dota.

Try to find the software RegCure. Must buy one, but I think you can get serial by other methods, if you know what I mean.

I just installed it today. It helped a little but the cpu usage still sky rockets, not up to 100%. Sticking around 60~70% ish.

From the looks of it, your graphics should be able to support. Probably just too much stuff hiding in your registry whenever you uninstall/update.

The problem you are having is lack of Memory, XP takes up 500megs just to function properly, pairs with a heavily triggerd map like DOTA your processor has to make up for it. Here are some fixes

1. Buy more ram, cheap and easy, 1 gig sticks for your computer can be found for as little as 20 bucks on www.neweggs.com, get 2 more gigs, it will make a huge difference, and it only takes 5 minutes to put in

2. Clean your HD, run scan disk and Defrag, make sure you have at least 5 gigs free on your system for temporary files and so RAM can use it

3. Go to Start>Run> and type MSCONFIG, in that program go to the startup tab, disable anything you don't need, such as Realplay, Itunes and what not. This doesn't mean you can't use the programs, it just keeps them from running in the background when you are not using them.
Found this at another forum. Good read.
