So ya after so much investigation I'm still looking for an automated solution.I found that disabling HT on my CPU (i7-6700K) has no impact on DCS at all. so ya that's the cause.ĮDIT 3: Problem solved using external software to auto-force the CPU affinity for the game once it detects that it is running, though that's most likely a temporary solution until I find a program that doesn't do more than that. Possible cause: the way how BattlEye service works.?īoth Steam and Uplay were at right affinity settingĮDIT 2: I'm unable to change affinity for BEService.exe because access ends up being denied and it says that system, not the user has run it. Technically a fix to this would be making Uplay's process be with set affinity to 7, i'll try to force that in and then run the crew through steam and see if it works and reply again.ĮDIT: just tried running Uplay with needed affinity, all related processes like upc.exe and others were run with proper affinity, but the crew's ones still use all cores. If you run steam in set affinity, it will run any game that doesn't use those other external services to run with set affinity. (.bat file content example for the 'Run steam in set affinity':Īffinity of 7 is affinity of 0111 (111->1+2+4=7) aka only 3 cores instead of 4) bat file tricks to run their games for this like that since nobody did discover the needed launch option. I don't think telling me to go to steam support and ask for launch options about that would work here tbh. which leads me to being unable to run it automatically like i want so the only fix for me is to just do it every time in task manager when last instance of TheCrew2.exe runs. Just because It's Uplay, and Uplay is the one responsible for affinity for The Crew's processes. In this process, even if Uplay was closed beforehand, steam still can't spawn Uplay's process with affinity set same as Steam. Steam runs Uplay, Uplay runs TheCrew2.exe, TheCrew2.exe closes and runs TheCrew2_BE.exe instead, which then runs TheCrew2.exe upon verification. it still won't work for this game because the launch goes as follows:
