Two questions about Crusade, Multi CPU and Steam Cloud

from GalCiv3 Forums

I just had time to play my first lager round of Crusade. I really like it, but i have two question.

Steam Cloud:

In the vanilla i could choose to safe to cloud, now i cannot, did i miss something or was it removed?

Mutli CPU Support.

Strange thing, i played on a AMD Ryzen with 16 logical cores, but the game never jused more then 5 or 6 of then. I did read the Dev Blog and there it was tested with 20 logical (10 pysical cores). So i was a bit disappointed, do i need to activate that features? Or is this maybe a Ryzen problem, cause when i started it on my 4 core / 8 logical CPU it used all 8 cores.

 

Hope you can help me....

I don't have answers but I am curious about the Ryzen use...    Given some of the statements about how the game uses threads I would think a Threadripper or i9 would be loads of fun to own for bigger games...

perhaps i'm wrong...

I will call upon Frog to answer this question about Ryzen. It was my understanding that Ai is each given its own thread to process its 'thinking' up to the number of cores your system can give. Thus in theory an I9 with 20 threads 'should' process ai thinking faster (better turn times?) then my current I5 with only 4 threads. 

Also if this applies to Ryzen then Gal Civ III should really really rock on Ryzen. I would like to hear from Frog and his observations or tests he has made.
