high priority programs

[GiantMonkeyMan]

hey i just wanted to ask how EB made the high priority shortcut/program thingy to make the game run smoother and i was wondering if i could take what EB did and apply it to other games (mainly Oblivion)...

thanks

Which one is the command line you have to put into the shortcut path???

I kinda uninstalled 0.74, and to wait 0.8 I`ve installed Darth Mod, but I don`t know how to make that mod run smoother...

Thanks

Perhaps someone can kill two birds with one stone in this thread and answer this question too.

Is there a way to make the .exe run with the affinity set to 1 cpu from the get-go, just like making the priority high? I ask because on dual core pc's such as mine, RTW gets weird and has issues, so I have to alt+tab and manually check the affinity to cpu 1.

Man, I hope that made sense to somebody.

at the moment i don't have EB installed to save space and i'm waiting for 0.8 so would somone just post what is in the shortcut's command lines please... and does the person who found out about that for EB think that it would work for other programs?

cheers

What issues? I run RTW with a dual core processor without any trouble at all. What I do know is that you can manually adjust priority of a program with the Task Manager, by going to the process list right clicking on it and there you should find a 'Set priority' tab. Although I must admit that this might not work on other than Professional editions of whatever Windows you're using as the taskmanager in professional versions is a lot more powerfull.

So, to summarize: while your program is running you can ALT+TAB and/or change the priority of the program.

He said that he would rather not do that.
