Thanks, that worked well enough. I actually managed to play a round on Ramiel today without it rubber-banding everywhere.

I set it to reduce by 90% - didn't really notice anything too negative about that other than the overlay being a little delayed in response.

Worked well using a BAT file (which I execute after the map has loaded):

Code: Select all

"C:\path\to\bes.exe" "C:\path\to\bf2\mods\pr_beta\bin\PRLauncher.exe" 90 --minimize

I never tried monitoring before latest update but just now i played about 45 mins on ramiel ins and the PR launcher on average only used 0.79% of CPU.

Yep, it's a lot better now on 1.0.25.0, about 1.5% here I think, down from ~38% in 1.0.22.0. Good work.

You can use Nvidia Optimus and use the GPU State Viewer. You can see which programs are set to use which GPU.
