von Baur 54 Posted January 1, 2015 I heard this phrase, and I think I even stumbled upon it at one point, but I can't seem to find it now. I have CPU Control, so I can take everything off CPU 1 prior to starting up WOFF. The problem is tha my computer still assigns WOFF to all four processors. I'd like to be able to program Windos to assign it (and CFS3, for that matter) to run only on CPU1. Can anyone help me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sky High 166 Posted January 1, 2015 I have used Bill2's Process Manager. A small piece of freeware. Just "google" it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did try this software on my sons system and I know that this 2007 software, is doing strange things when running more then 4 cores. But suppose you run a 4core system and have selected the 4core checkbox [in options]. You have to set all to manual mode, and make a profile. Now run Woff start a mission [CFS3.exe is starting], go to pause and alt/tab Rest to explain is in the picture, think it is the CFS3.exe that is causing max load not Woff btw.

Burning Beard 14 Posted January 8, 2015 There is an easy way to do this. Hit Ctrl, Alt, Delete and go to the task manager. Once there, go to the Processes tab, right click on the program you want to set the affinity for and pick Set Affinity from the drop down menu. Beard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eagle2046 2 Posted January 11, 2015 I am going to try that. Thanks ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted January 14, 2015 Seems I must select the CPU every time after starting WOFF again, Beard? It doesn't seem to remember my selection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamper 9 Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Seems I must select the CPU every time after starting WOFF again, Beard? It doesn't seem to remember my selection. The method Beard refers to will allow you to set CPU core affinity - it's good because, being part of the OS, it generally behaves well and it's free. The issue that Olham points out is that this method is not 'persistent'; it doesn't store the setting anywhere. Some of the programs mentioned above include specific means to do that, but (as with all such utilities) YMMV and there can be drawbacks; use these utilities "at your own risk".

JimAttrill 24 Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) I use Process Lasso to set affinities for WOFF, CFS3 and TrackIr. It remembers the affinities you set. And it is free. Edited March 26, 2015 by JimAttrill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did not read this topic after I had posted my reply. I had discussed this also on Simhq before the whole bunch did take it over. But here is something for you that is interesting: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/37272/set-a-programs-affinity-in-windows-7-for-better-performance/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
