Affinity mask simstarter NG

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,  So I am trying to use Simstarter NG for my start up and assign cpu cores to each add on.  But know matter what I do after start up I check task manager and each one is running on all cores instead of the ones I assigned.  So thinking it was a simstarter issue I built a batch file to test the issue.  Exact same issue.  The only way to assign cores is after the program is running with task manager affinity settings but that of course is only temporary.  Am I missing something?  I am starting to think it is a mobo bios or Windows 10 issue.  It is Asus mobo with 7700k. Any help is much appreciated.  Thanks!!

About what addons do we talk here? In my case, I had only one issue using the Batch file method: for ActiveSky, both the batch file AND the executable had to have the tick marked "run as administrator". Either one (batch file or .exe) not running as administrator resulted in using all cores available.

I have tried ActiveSky, UT live, and EFB.  I made sure all programs involved were using admin rights including Simstarter.

And you made sure that also the .bat files had the tick for "run as administrator"?

Thank u for your help.  My batch file was not set as administrator.  Working great now.  But for some reason simstarter still has issues assigning cores.

Chris, where's that "tick" exactly?

Thanks
