EQ1 Multicore support

Post by Hyred » Thu Oct 10, 2013 9:27 pm

Quick question...

Does WinEQ2 ignore the "recently" introduced "CPUaffinity=-1" setting for EQ 1?

I noticed that running EQ from Launchpad correctly assigns "all cores" to the eqgame.exe process with "CPUaffinity=-1"
However, when running EQ with WINEQ2 it just ignores this setting and the eqgame.exe is limited to one core only as if "CPUAffinity=0" was set in the eqclient.ini.
This still can be fixed by manually adjusting it via task manager, but it's annoying.

Well since I can't edit my previous post ...

Found the answer myself...
The "Set CPU Affinity" setting under WINEQ2.0>General overwrites the settings of the eqclient.ini.

Turned it off and it's working fine.

After all those years I totally forgot about that setting in WinEQ2 Preferences, always thought it was using the setting of the ini file ... ;)

/cheers
