Set CPU affinity with EAC active

[kaetting]

Hello,

Does anyone have a bulletproof way nowdays to run 7dtd with CPU affinity and EAC active?

This is a very CPU heavy game and the FPS drops are insane. 

When I use Nvidia Geforce Experience  the "Optimal" setting are close to Ultra, but Ive trouble running a stable game at Lowest due to CPU FPS drops.

 

AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics 3.20 GHz / 16GB RAM / Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU / Windows 11 Home 23H2

 

Atm Im running the game from a bat-file with "%comspec% /C start /affinity 0x000000000000FFFC 7DaysToDie_EAC.exe" but it doesnt work 100%, more like 50/50 it starts with the set affinity.

you could use a PowerShell command to change the affinity of an already running process:
 

(get-process 7DaysToDie).ProcessorAffinity=[int]0xFFFC

 

just start the game in your favorite way and after that fire that command above.

With EAC on I do not believe this is possible.

you're right, with EAC I got an access denied error, lol.

(I'm using it every time - but I've never played with EAC, so... was worth a try )
