The Epic Games Store could be draining your gaming laptop's battery life
https://tinyurl.com/ajx5xp
Folks who game on laptops are eternally battling for battery life, even if
gaming laptops have gotten much better in the last few years. Laptop gaming
means doing everything humanly possible to eke out as much life from your
system as possible. Bad news for Fortnite players: it turns out that the Epic
Games Store might be draining more juice from your laptop than you'd think.
This comes from PCW's testing of the Microsoft Surface Pro 7+ with the new
11th gen Tiger Lake processors inside. After receiving some inconsistent
results on their battery tests, they discovered that the Epic Games Store app
still running hidden in the taskbar was having a drastic effect on the
tablet's battery life.
PCWorld breaks down their whole testing methodology in the article, but they
ran a battery test in airplane mode on two systems and measured the battery
life with EGS on and off, signed in and running, signed off and running, etc.
to see what kind of impact Epic's platform has on PC.
They found an average drop in battery life by 20 percent (nearly two hours)
on the Pro 7+, and an eight percent drop on the Ryzen-powered Microsoft
Surface Laptop 3. All open applications consume a bit of battery, but it was
surprising to see how much the Epic Game Store was guilty of using.
The same tests were run with the Steam app running in the background and
little to no effect on battery life. Epic responded to PC World's findings by
saying via email that "in general, we are actively working to improve the
performance and reduce the power consumption of our launcher."
The more severe battery drain looks to be an issue with the new Tiger Lake
system or Surface Pro tablets in general. But as shown with the Ryzen system,
the Epic launcher can still affect performance even on non-Tiger Lake
systems, even just running in the background.
So, what can you do in the meantime to make sure you're getting the maximum
battery life on your laptop? Ensure that the Epic Games Store—and, really,
any other apps you're not using—aren't running in the background. Always
check the system tray.

其实就是测试发现，Epic Game的客户端会增加笔电电池耗电。
Microsoft Surface Pro 7+ 增加20%
Ryzen-powered Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 增加 8%
用Steam客户端做对照组做同样的测试，发现Steam客户端几乎不增加耗电。

如果笔电一直插著充电应该没影响

好耶

这还好吧

嗯？这是怎么做到的啊==

不意外阿 就一直想推播广告阿...

程式写太烂、要花更多能源去跑？

嘻嘻 这平台何时要岛

我的origin也会莫名其妙占10% cpu

比那个更重要的是：你不知道他在背景搞什么东东在耗电

你要不要领免费游戏嘛？ 要就别抱怨

一直跑一些额外功能就行了

在挖矿吧？哈哈

[震惊] 笔电开机状态居然会消耗电池寿命

背景不知道在干啥

就单纯程式写的烂吧，如果真要做坏事应该会写好一点才不会被

batter life 指的是电池续航力battery*

笑死

免费的最__

没有评论、社交功能 喷的电还比 Steam 凶?

epic启动器超吃cpu不是一段时间了 还没修喔

开启Epic一分钟，会耗损60秒的电池寿命

应该是怕你RAM太无聊

这种说法有点欲加之罪了吧...

又要开战了吗?

R星都能写烂code了 epic games写烂code又怎么了

阿就程式写不好而已，其他的也不见得写很好

腾讯日常

而且说增加耗电，标题却说减少寿命，这意思差多了

那我笔电都不开机 就不会损耗寿命了吧

不对，会自然耗损到没电，然后更伤电池

新闻标题不意外

功能少这么多还可以这么烂?!

玩游戏也是增加耗电，最好不要玩

战完游戏平台，换战浏览器好了

承认背景在偷干坏事很难?

我的笔电已经换了三次电池了,直接放弃电池纯插电

锂电池本来就用越多寿命损耗越快 要这么说不是不行啦

背景占用CPU，程式写的不好

一直很纳闷chrome 动不动吃CPU到三四十%是怎么吃的...

金山 360 等等……全部挂后台的感觉 开机cpu先烧两分钟

我的chrome之前吃CPU吃到60%，换成Edge好超多

之前有在笔电装过 Epic默认会用独显跑

刚看到中国那的讨论说装中国的程式像QQ也会增加耗电所以中国人觉得没什么 XD

开的网页数一样多，下载档案数也一样才10%~20%

CPU消耗高也可能是因为多线程优化作得比较好 我是说可能

应该说背景吃效能/记忆这种破事 WIN10已经少很多了

这标题超刻意，怎么不去讲chrome还比友牌多耗50%以上

因为Chrome很多人用，风向不对= =

现在就没啥人定期在清除暂存了..都等炸掉

我认识的人都在用IE，谁在用chrome

大概是因为这里是c恰吧

不EY

这篇在谈游戏平台的比对 怎会扯Chrome来护航...XD

笑死 硬要扯chrome出来干嘛 epic games是浏览器腻

所以还能被抓出来骂 就知道多烂XD

先问你Epic客户端跟chrome能做到一样的事吗

Epic可以下载别的浏览器吗

背景挖矿？还是回传资料？

chrome很吃资源是早就知道的事情了吧 但为什么那么多人用 不就是因为功能多如果你EPIC做的比steam功能多又稳 那谁会在意你耗资源

Epic可以下载别的游戏平台的个资= =

就是Epic功能比Steam少很多又更吃资源才让人在意呀大家会想功能少那么多为啥要多吃那么多资源

GC从以前就是把资源吃好吃满

EPIC还有他们的引擎商店 那个超卡= =

STEAM改版很多次 最有感还是把商店切开之后

写得太烂吧 steam也改进十几年了

现在开STEAM 除非你手贱去点商店 不然顺得很XD收藏库上千也是顺顺顺

偷资料耗点电力合情合理吧

传资料很辛苦的

就单纯程式写太烂吧 uplay origin battle.net 也都经历过吃资源的时代啊 啊不过battle.net是无法背景执行

EPIC就是烂，没啥好说的

新闻描述似乎是背景状态也在消耗,如果是这个描述那就有趣所以不是写的烂不烂的问题,是在背景有啥功能需要运作

就这是客户端程式写的烂吧，daemon没搞好，本来就会吃额外系统资源，看看那个UI跟操作...恩不意外就是了

在偷挖？ XD

反正epic都是免费仔在用

garena也会呢

偷个资都没在怕了，区区的耗电是能吓到谁?

偷挖个资就知道EPIC是一个有问题的平台了

如果照很早之前的推测 应该是内嵌了Chromium 这东西天生会在背景吃资源吧 GC只要开了什么是都不做也会

中国垃圾软件啊

epic根本小菜一碟 garena才是真的厉害
