OneProcessorLaunch Tool.....

[TippeX]

quick update, i'm working on adding in the wizard stuff now (it'll make shortcuts or cmd/bat files) eta: v 0.0.0.2 release probably soon, maybe end of july along with something else too maybe ...

i also intend to put in a cpu report diagnostic portion (via commandline which will report the cpuid information from the processor), but that will be in v 0.0.0.3 as/when my new pc arrives

say tippex.. how is this tool different than setting processor affinity in windows? or is this just a frontend to launch the program with cpu affinity?

cheers,

neliz

well, as documented in the txt file with the program, setting the affinity in taskmanager is only possible after the process has been launched (which may be too late)... as for 'frontend'.. depends.. the tool does use the setprocessaffinity api's if that's what you mean... but does so by launching the process suspended, setting the affinity, then resuming the process... which is a little bit different than the windows launch -> user alt+tab -> taskmanager -> set affinity approach...

(i'm a pc user for crying out loud.. who ever reads a readme?)

Could you please make the working directory parameter an optional paramenter.

It would be nice if

"oneprocessorlaunchtool.exe SplinterCell2.exe" would work. So that the tool is taking the exe path as default work dir.

[TippeX]

just put the path in yourself, its hardly super hard..
im working on the new version atm that'll make shortcuts.. no idea on time though, bit busy atm...

and in your example you don't state the path anyway...

[chron]

Its because I have the processor tool in the same directory as the game exe.

[TippeX]

just use the normal method currently (-w workingdirectory -l executable) the -l part doesn't need the path, ideally though the tool shouldn't be in the same dir as the game exe (causes clutter etc)... i'll try and get the new version done soon (it'll make shortcuts for you.. much easier).. does spliter cell 2 really have a problem with multiple processors, or are you just testing it?

Thanks everyone for your support, you're the best!!

Thank you, TippeX, I registered on the forum just to thank you. My first time here and I stumble on your very useful tool!

It augures well for my membership.

What about this? For some it is even more useful.

[TippeX]

does pretty much the same thing, just some more customisation that i never got around to finishing.. might dust off this project and tweak it a little....

but as a rule of thumb, puting files in the system folders etc is sort of not advised anymore
