NOW..the question is,

Is there a way to get rid of the HighPriority mode of the new v1.06 exe while running the anti-securom loader?

I have to ctl-alt-delete while the game is loading up and quickly try to change the process' priority to Normal...otherwise I cannot use my mouse or keyboard once I'm in-game.

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

[RincewindTheWiz]

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

[Talus]

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'.

[Altern]

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

[Talus]

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

[Joe Forster/STA]

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!

[Talus]

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

[darkan9el]

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.

[Altern]

^^ 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

[RincewindTheWiz]

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...
