    Default high priority programs

    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.

    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.
