If you're experiencing slowdowns please first don't hash stuff on your windows drive, swap disk, games drive or whichever other important drive that is being slow today. Second, if you have a single core / celeron / duron CPU, please realize it's slow and don't expect it to be all super duper super computer, anything which runs heavy stuff will probably tax it anyway. | If you're experiencing slowdowns please first don't hash stuff on your windows drive, swap disk, games drive or whichever other important drive that is being slow today.

With semi-decent hardware it's quite possible to hash stuff while playing games without noticing anything, assuming you have enough RAM for the game that is. ;) | With semi-decent hardware it's quite possible to hash stuff while playing games without noticing anything, assuming you have enough RAM for the game that is. ;) | ||
'''Q: When I hash files the application sometimes locks up at 98-99.9%?''' | |||
A: While many things in AoM does run in separate threads a lot of it doesn't. When hashing completes for a file the it's the main thread which updates the local data files, this sometimes takes a lot of time, especially if you're doing something else like moving files over a network in Vista or similar. | |||
Please note that some users have had application hangs on linux when hashing with the AVDump integration enabled. | |||
'''Q: My mylist in AoM does not match my mylist on AniDB!''' | |||
A: AoM only updates it's cache once every two hours, so if you add/update/remove items on AniDB it'll take up to two hours before AoM sees them. You can force it to update faster by restarting AoM. | |||
However, if your mylist still does not match after two hours, please try starting AoM with the /fullupdate switch to force a full update of your cache. If the problem persists please contact me in the #aom channel on irc. While I wish this was easy to fix it's a design mistake which will have to wait for the next major version. | |||
