Core Affinity in Autoexec.cfg no longer working?


wopski

Recommended Posts

Running multiple dedicated servers it makes life easy being able to set core affinity in the autoexec.cfg but this no longer works both on dedicated server or client install?

 

Is this just temp thing, has it been replaced with a different command or just removed all together?

 

affinity_mask = ***

 

Kind regards,

Affinty mask is still overridden in stable release on dedicated server??

 

Please can you tell me why? I'm sorry but i don't see a mention of it in change logs! OB or stable. ?

 

It even overrides 3rd party software firedeamon pro.

 

worked fine before 2.5.6

 

will post a video tomorrow

 

Kind regards,

Same question here, sorry that we don't have any answer.

I'm going to ping BigNewy.

I've also tried forcing the cpu affinity with cmd and it does not work for DCS.exe for some reason. Works on other executables on the same machine though.

 

For example this works:

start "" /affinity 0x3 /high "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Discord\app-0.0.306\Discord.exe" --test

But this doesn't:

start "" /affinity 0x3 /high "C:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World Server\bin\DCS.exe" --server --norender -w DCSZA_1

Yes, I think that DCS is managing its affinity itself, in its own code, hence the failure to do what Windows wants it to do !

This may be either an intended or unintended consequence of a fix or partial workaround of what I reported some time ago, regarding thread racing between main and texture/asset loading threads. But Im currently in maintenance, didnt test anything myself in the last mont and probably for the next two.

Indeed it is, an unintended one. The next openbeta should fix this.

For me with my i7 10700k I see core 12 and 15 being used close to 100% (core 15 is a hyperthread and not ideal) and the rest staying at a very low amount, I have to force a more balanced load via task manager core affinity setting for DCS.exe, just wished it worked properly via the autoexec.cfg.
