Fritz 19 using CPU resources??

Post by reflectionofpower »

I have a RAM monitor from one of my programs and I noticed Fritz 19.exe even when it is not the engine loaded is using up my CPU (50%) and heating up my laptop? Fritz 18 never did this?

The minute you load your engine of choice it will load, and then you will see Fritz 19 engine load right after it?? Once you start Infinite Mode of your engine and then stop. Fritz 19 keeps operating in the background??

No, if:
Assisted Analysis is unchecked and F19 isn't connected to cb- server (user's not logged in at start of GUI), regards

My assisted analysis is unchecked and F19 isn't connected to cb server so what are you telling me?

I'm telling you, what you asked: if my F19 kept operating in the background, and I added, that's not so for me (answer no, doesn't keep working in background), if I don't have any F19- related resident processes running

I am dealing with CB support right now. I gave them screenshots and a video file of Fritz 19 engine loading when Dragon loads. Furthermore, I also noticed that when you are analyzing with Dragon, Fritz is also operating??

What happens when you close Fritz 19, is it still active on Task Manager?

I've had the same problem. I noticed that the Fritz19 engine was sometimes hogging up the CPU after activating the 'buddy' engine.

Always keep the resource monitor open when working with engines. After killing off the process manually, the buddy engine
would appear to return to normal functionality, but it's a little tiresome to always have to check the resource monitor when analyzing.

Once I KILL fritz 19.exe it shuts the whole Fritz 19 program down. I am still waiting for an explanation from CB. I sent them the video file and a couple of screenshots. I knew it just would not be happening to me. This is a horrible bug that never should have been experienced by anyone. So every time I analyze, I have to unload Fritz 19. That's a pain in the butt and totally unacceptable.

Well of course 'killing' Fritz19.ext would shut down the whole program...it IS the program.
Whatever they do, I must say, the whole Idea behind the buddy engine is brilliant when it comes to analysis.

I see from changelog 19.4 "Disable buddy in analysis function".
