Since the Game Assistant update - Aurora.exe now constantly uses CPU resource even when no game is running and no trainer active - If a 10+ tab web browser can use less CPU - It feels like Aurora might be getting too many things running concurrently even without the user accessing them.
do you have hardware acceleration turned on?
Just resize the Aurora window, or change the layout (as you mentioned) or hide the button in Aurora settings. The easiest and fastest way is to simply resize the window.
I am having this issue as well. I have tried resizing the window, but the Game Assistant icon is always in the bottom right, and the Game Speed configuration icon (gear) is also always in the bottom right - no matter how I resize / move the window. I'm going to attempt to attach a screenshot.
I was able to switch to "tile" layout quickly and easily, change the game speed option to what I wanted, and then switch back to list layout, so no big deal. I just thought you guys would want to know about the issue and maybe find a new home for the assistant. Thanks for all your hard work!
