The_Nephilim Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) Hi All, I found this neat program that you can assign multiple cores to any game Preferably if it does NOT support Multiple cores the game or Program. You just setup & Run this Program Before Running BS No Need to ALT+TAB out of the game as this will automatically do it for you if it is Running B4 You run BS or other applications..

Chillspider Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I would say as well to put this in the Multi core thread that is already in use instead of a new one alot of people are not searching for posts on the topic there interested in and starting a new thread on something that has already been in heavy discussion .

Fishu Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) I see your point but people check that multi core thread everytime theres a new post but i guess your right. I don't. There's many pages of bla bla bla with little content. So this is a welcome thread. I don't have time to every day go through lenghty threads in several forums looking for something I need, just because it might come today. This is not the only game which has problem with people forcing people to continue enormous threads of inconclusive bla bla bla with posts of significant value and I sometimes keep missing things because of the mentality. One thread unrelated to games, which has some interesting stuff every now and then, is just 500 pages long and grows by the hour. Whenever someone creates a new thread there's a bunch of people telling "WHY DIDN'T YOU USE THE EXISTING THREAD!?". God. Looking for content afterwards with search function is practically impossible.

H4rM Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 theox, Unfortunately you don't get any fps improvement in XP doing the multi-core affinity trick... if you get 32 fps in XP then on the same machine with the affinity trick you'll get 32, BUT if you install Vista on that same system (dualboot for BS) then you stand to get approx. anywhere from 10 to 20 fps more than you have with XP by using the affinity trick for a multi-core system.

104th_Crunch Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I use Alacrity :thumbup: to set a DCS BS to startup using cores of choice. It will let you do that and also close down other non essential programs. Also, I can make one shortcut to close all non essential programs, start DCS BS with multiple cores, load my CH profile (using ver Contol Mgr 4.5) and Trackir. To get DCS BS to start in Alacrity I had to point it at bat files in the DCS root folder itself, not the launcher.exe. Single player bat file contains: C:\g\Ka-50\bin\stable\Launcher.exe -console Multiplayer bat files contains: @start bin\stable\DCS.exe --net gui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aledmb Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 we have to configure it for dcs.exe, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
104th_Crunch Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 we have to configure it for dcs.exe, right? Nope. What I mean is, if you look at the shortcut for single player it says ...\Ka-50\bin\stable\Launcher.exe --console therefore to have Alacrity start up singleplayer of BS: 1) Create a text file in notepad and in the file type: ...\Ka-50\bin\stable\Launcher.exe --console of course yow would need the full proper path to your installation folder. 2) Save the file with wahtever name you want but make sure that it ends in .bat, for example BSstart.bat. Save it in the KA-50 folder 3) Create a profile in Alacrity for BS and in the section to start up programs, add the BSstart.bat file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper3two Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Well, I guess its OOOOOOOOOOOO MOOOJJJAAVVEEE for me. LMAO :thumbup: Yea me too...but I swear I don't want to toast what I have. I have kept my xps at xppro just because it works good and I don't have to worry about whether any of my sims/games will run on it. I have vista on my laptop and I generally wind up cussing it a few times a week -). I don't know if I should do the Mojave dance yet or not.... Oh and by the way, that has got to be the most ridiculous commercial I have ever seen in my life. "This is Windows Vista?!?!". Yea bud, like how much did they pay you to act like you have never heard of Vista before. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thbrix Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Hi, thanks for the information. I have tried with both programs to assign my 4 cores, without any luck, it seems that i have to do i manually with the taskmanager, to get it to work. I would be happy if AlacrityPC could do it for me, i have made the .bat startupfile and that works like it should, and i have set affinity on that file, plus i have tried to add dcs.exe in "monitor" mode and set affinity on that also, but when i look at the taskmanager when flying, its only using CPU0. I have the same problem with Taskassign. Any ideas? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This trick may not get you more FPS but maybe it just helps run the Program a little bit smoother??

wombat778 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) I have tried with both programs to assign my 4 cores, without any luck, it seems that i have to do i manually with the taskmanager, to get it to work. Have you tried the script from this post: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=593129&postcount=10? It was written specifically to work with Black Shark and so far I believe has a 100% success rate. Unfortunately the problem with most programs that automatically assign the affinity is that they set it too quickly after DCS.exe is launched. This means it does not work reliably. In some cases, this causes DCS not to use the additional cores, and in others it shows no FPS improvement even where the cores get set properly. Admittedly, I have not tried the "THG" program that the original poster mentioned or the alacrity method, but there is a good chance they suffer the same issue unless they insert a delay in setting the affinity. The script I posted above is designed specifically to avoid the the problem by waiting at least 30 seconds before setting DCS.exe to run on all cores. As I said, it seems to be 100% reliable at this stage, so you may want to try it. Let me know if it gives you any problems.
