How hard is it to code games to use all cores 4+?
I don't know,I am not making fun.
I know a lot about coding but I honestly have never used threads and the like in my own code.
So, why is it that most games use 1 and rarely 2+ core and leave the rest idling?
Does it have to be done explicitly in the code or is there an easier way?
Thank you
I disagree about the benefit. Some games, mostly stuff like Civ and Shogun are pretty much bottlenecked by the CPU if you are using a modern graphic card

Most games don't need more than one core, the video card or GPU does most of it's work, to answer your question how hard it is...its pretty hard...but you wouldn't see a major increase in performance except maybe start time. Getting all the threads to talk to each other once you have hundreds of functions and variables changing every nanosecond just gets anoying.
