Setting 'process priority'

CSA · 13 May 2006 at 13:12

After suffering from laggy game play in BF2 i had a sneaky feeling it was being caused by punkbuster , so after reading through the PB site a tried a fix they recommend

The fix is to open up task manager while the game is running and set the process priority to below normal , so i tried this and it works a treat , the thing is i have to do this every time i start the game up , is there a way to make this setting permanent so i dont have to change it every time i play ?

Maybe a batch script (.bat file)? Sounds like the sort of thing that could work with one.

Not very experienced with the syntax personally but I'm sure someone else will help you out.

you can use the start command in a batchfile to start the game/application with a different priority here is an example of my counterstrike server bat file

Code:

start /abovenormal C:\Game-Hosts\CounterStrike\srcds.exe

Obviously, change the game and priority to suit your needs, then place the bat file on your desktop and remove the old one.
