OOTP takes up ~50% of one of my CPU cores even while idling. Anybody else see this?

Mac version on Steam, if that matters.

Mine runs about 15% while it's loading, then goes to essentially zero on a stand alone PC version.

It's probably about time for a new $2500 MacBook. Your last software update probably obsoleted your current one.

Oh, I pay Apple double the price for mine, just on principle.

I admit that if a Chromebook ran windows programs, I'd probably drop Windows in a minute.

All right, let's be serious, if a Chromebook ran OOTP in a straightforward way. I mean, at the end of the day I can probably replace just about everything else I use.

CPU issue fixed. It was the goddamn Steam version.

How'd you fix it? I'm running a steam version on my pc laptop (migrated from iMac for this version) and have noticed that OOTP and other games (from Steam) are a serious drain.

It's the Steam version that did it. I got a regularly-licensed version and it's fine.
