I've been a victim of the CPU issues recently discussed in the forums, and I'm trying to get the latest update which addresses it, but I can't get my Steam version to retrieve the latest Beta update. All of the other direct links I'm seeing are telling me that should be installing the version from Steam. Any chance of getting a link for Steam (if it exists)?

Also, thanks for taking care of the CPU thing. Love the product.

Glad to hear you like DisplayFusion! On the DisplayFusion Settings > Options tab, just enable the "Check for newer beta versions" option, apply the settings, then click the "Check for Updates" button :)

Yes, that's the part that wasn't working. The Login section on the Settings page was trying to login to my account, and taking lots of CPU (it was fighting with the main DF process for 100%). Clicking the Check for Update button didn't do anything extra.

I realized the issue -- after reinstalling earlier this week (to try and fix the CPU issue), I hadn't set DisplayFusion to run as Administrator. This was somehow responsible for the inability to update.

It's all good now, though.

Cheers

Ok, awesome! So after getting it to update to Beta 9, the CPU usage issue is resolved as well?

Yep, CPU is back to normal.

Thanks again

Sad news on this front I'm afraid. I installed DF v7beta10 on 27th or 28th, today the 2nd, I had my first experience with DF sucking all the life cycles out of my CPU. It happened when I launched Winamp. I aborted DF, restarted it, now Winamp plays fine, so probably just a coincidence.

Please don't kill the messenger! ;-)

Ok, strange! If you exit Winamp and start it back up, does the CPU run up again?

Both DF and Winamp have been running fine without further problem. So unless you've had other reports, Winamp was probably just a coincidence.

Ok, I'll close this out for now. Just let me know if you do notice any more weirdness :)

Thanks!
