changing priority

[ramirez_nz]

hi,

Because of a problem with race driver 3 and force feedback wheels I need to run this game in High priority mode. Codemasters website suggests making a new short cut with the following; which does work but needs the cd in the drive.

%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c start "" /high "g:\program files\Codemasters\Race Driver 3\RD3.exe"

I've tried to convert this into a profile, I've tried making new profiles but it doesn't want to work.

Is there an option to run a profile/game in high priority mode??

Any suggestion's would be most appreciated

Thanks

You can create a workaround using a batchfile and a GJ-created shortcut, like this:


Create a standard profile for the game (which I assume you have done).

In the profile's properties, disable "Auto start game when this profile is selected".

Create a desktop shortcut to the profile. Rename it something easy like RD3 and copy it to the same directory as the game's executable.

In that same directory, create a batch file along the following lines:


@echo off
"RD3.lnk"
PING -n 3 127.0.0.1>nul
start "" /wait /high "g:\program files\Codemasters\Race Driver 3\RD3.exe"
"c:\program files\slysoft\game jackal\gamejackal_cl.exe" /deactivate


Use the batchfile to play the game.



This example assumes the following:

that you installed Game Jackal to "c:\program files\slysoft\game jackal". If not, just change that line in the batchfile to your GJ installation dir.

that you called the link "RD3". Again, if you didn't, change that line to whatever you called it (just remember that a shortcut has the .lnk extension, though windows doesn't display it).

I copied the path to the game executable that you used in your example. Change if you need to.


This should serve as a workaround, though it might be nice to add the priority option to the "Advanced options" in the Profile Management window.
