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

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.
