webwallpaper32.exe took lots of CPU resource!

[ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ]

I found that if I use web-base wallpaper,
the process named webwallpaper32.exe took near a quater CPU resource!
it has two instance because I have two screen?
its performance is really poor

If your Windows version is 64Bit, then try running the webwallpaper64.exe version instead and see if that gives better performance.

You can find those files from within the main Wallpaper Enginer folder of where it's installed on your computer.

An easy way to navigate to it could be to go to your Steam Library, right-click on Wallpaper Engine, select Properties, Local Files then Browse Local Files.

You could then make a shortcut of the webwallpaper64.exe to place on your Desktop to make it easier to run it when you want.

Running the 64Bit version seems to work fine for me.
Maybe you are using a 32Bit version of Windows?

no, I'm using 64 bit.
lanch app with wallpaper64.exe
but it still create webwallpaper32.exe
I found that its child-process webwallpaper only have 32 bit version
so it is no difference

Ok. Well, when I run wallpaper64.exe, if I look at the Windows Task Manager, it shows me that it's running wallpaper64.exe, so I just assumed it was actually running the 64Bit version.

Buuut, hmmm... I probably misunderstood something, you say it's only if you run a web-based wallpaper that it then only runs the 32Bit version? But, do other wallpapers (such as video based wallpapers) run with the 64Bit engine ok?
Perhaps for now web-based wallpapers only run via the 32Bit wellpaper-engine.

Anyways, maybe if you contact the Developer about it they could give you more info about what's happening with that.
