Test: Setting CPU Affinity

I appreciate the help. I did run the compatibility troubleshooter also, no success though. I will uncheck "Run as Admin" and see what happens? Otherwise, I will look for another solution. I tried Process Explorer earlier today, but I could not find any means to setup any rules.

Thats alot though, your PM was VERY helpful indeed!

Hi y'all,

I'm still struggeling to reduce cpu frametimes.

Anyway, I recently stumbled upon an suite of up tp date tools:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/

I'm experimenting with ProcessExplorer. It lets' you set a processes priority and affinity and more.

Cheers.

Looks like setting affinity_mask in autoexec no longer works with 2.5.6...

Still an issue in 2021 with latest DCS builds, would be great to have the use of this feature once more.

Just following up yet again to confirm,,, so editing the autoexec for affinity_mask still does not work, correct???

@Hectic how did you make out with this?

I stopped fiddling with ProcessExplorer.

Setting core affintity didn’t seem to reduce cpu frametimes.

Setting DCS process priority to ‘realtime’ also didn’t improve frametimes drastically, maybe barely noticeable. I could be fooling myself (placebo/wishfull thinking etc.).
But I created a shortcut to cmd.exe to run DCS in realtime priority anyway.

Type in the targetbox:  %windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c start "" /Realtime "F:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS.exe".

As soon as stocks and prices are back to ‘normal’  I’ll update my 9700k@52_1080ti _32GB_NVMe combo to something more capable to drive my HP G2…

Thanks for the update. I'm not having issues with Framerates,,, just the stuttering/jittering. I fiddled again with Process Lasso yesterday, I couldnt make any improvements setting DCS on 2, 3 or all 4 cores,,,,

will post my autoexec.cfg when I get home tonight,

 

I have it set to use 2 cores (06 and 07) and cap my FPS at 30 (to avoid Tearing etc).

I have an AMD5800x, my fastest cores are 02 and 07, what code would I need to use? Having trouble figuring this out. Thanks!

This thread is 8 years old, the DCS Core has changed drastically since then, I wouldn't recommend forcing any affinity's on Ryzen or any of the last 9 Intel Core Generations.

Affinity and priority helps my 9600k when hosting a server. For singleplayer it doesn’t matter.
