yeah nice response lol.. if u had tried to ctrl-alt-del u wud know that it takes at least 5 min to get to ur desktop if your lucky.. then another few mins to be able to actually do anything at ur desktop...

lets us know how u get on fellas.. i went back to 1.2 using the 21 mb fixed exe..

You can create a Batch as your shortcut and call the program.. Like this
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

START ["title"] [/Dpath] [/I] [/MIN] [/MAX] [/SEPARATE | /SHARED]
[/LOW | /NORMAL | /HIGH | /REALTIME | /ABOVENORMAL | /BELOWNORMAL]
[/WAIT] [/B] [command/program]
[parameters]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Or I believe These flags will work in the existing Shortcut for the game..

If you know VB Script use that..

Yes, but you have to load graw.exe v1.06 with the anti-securom loader (asr.exe)...so how do you create a batch file that does THAT ;)

the batch file would contain this line :

START /NORMAL "c:\asr\asr.exe" "c:\graw\graw.exe"


Replace "C:\asr" and "c:\graw" with the paths to both executables and it should work. To make a batch file, just paste the line above in a new textfile then rename the extension of that file to .bat

Nope..that didn't work :(

I get the 'conflict with emulation software detected' error and I also noticed that graw.exe was still running in high priority mode.

When I try to add the -r command to that batch file, it stops working saying 'windows cannot find -r'.

ah coolio.. and the .bat file wud go where in the game dir ??

You can put the .bat file anywhere and run it.

but it didn't work for me.

The following used as a shortcut DOES work, but the priority mode switch doesn't take effect.

"D:\Games\Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter\asr.exe" -r "D:\Games\Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter\graw.exe" /NORMAL

Of course, it doesn't change the priority mode because only the START command has this "/normal" etc. command line options; ASR.EXE doesn't. You cannot override ASR.EXE's behavior with settings that are processed before ASR.EXE is executed, unless ASR.EXE processes/honors them itself!

Ah well..I guess I'll just keep doing it the way I've been doing it.

Start the game normally...wait for about 2 minutes for the keyboard to become responsive and ctrl-alt-del. Right-click about a million times on graw.exe until the mouse becomes responsive. Then left-click on Normal about a million times until the mouse becomes responsive. Then left-click on Yes about a million times until the mouse becomes responsive.

See what I have to go through ;)

I may just put the freakin' original in :D

Unless this Patch actually solves a problem you are having, why are you updating?

As for all this daemon tools stuff, and mini mds files. I used the fixed exe from gamecopyworld. game starts fine, no fancy tools to avoid securom etc. I just replaced the original exe with the fixed exe

I do have the original but I just hate having to keep the DVD in. it really p*sses me off.

^^ we know lol.. we have uptaded because the patch is supposed to fix things.. so obv were trying to get a fix so we can play 1.06.. no other prog we can use except anti-securom loader (asr.exe) ??

and yeah i hate puttin in the dvd all the time.. :P

dude.. best way ive found so far.. once u ctrl-alt-del.. dont press another button.. just wait till task manager appears after a few mins.. click processes and wait.. dont repeatedly press it or you will give the cpu more work... which obv will take even longer to deal with.. then after 20/30 secs.. i then sort by memory usage needs to be clicked 2 (instead of scrolling to graw.exe).. u click it once it lists mem starting from zero.. click again then GRAW.exe will be top.. u know what im talking about.. just dont keep pressing buttons.. each option press once and wait.. voila

2/3 mins at my desktop i had the priority at normal.. total sweet ingame now..

just ignore me if u already do the above lol..

oh aint tried with comms yet.. will try that tonight to see if i get kicked again lol

You could try Process Tamer. It's a free program that should automatically lower the priority of any process that slows down the system. I haven't tried it, but it seems perfect for your problem.

If this works, I'm gonna reach over there and kiss you ;)

I have been GOOGLING my ASS off looking for just such an app...

Ummmmm, could I settle instead for your undying gratitude ? Kissing is so yucky :D
