For the first time today I checked my processes and found that Guild Wars was using 99% of my CPU usage and 30,000K memory usage. Is this a bad programming problem? Can it be a memory leak? Others find the same thing.

WELCOME

100% usage is normal and i cant tell on the memory but i know it grabs all it can

again welcome

Lov is correct, 100% usage is perfectly normal and 30k memory usage is normal too. Just means GW is using the hardware to its full potential

100,00-300,000K or even more is the pretty normal amount of memory consumption. Rarely seems to go over 300M, thenagain I haven't paid that much attention.

And yes, games tend to eat 100% of the CPU power available all times (with the exceptions being in dualcore, multiprocessor systems and hyperthreading processors, which eat less due to having multiple processors. That one processor is still eating 100%, bringing the total use to 50% :b). Nothing odd there. Move along, keep moving.
