Add a system info tab since CC added "DLC"

Minor issue, probably uncommon.

It's a problem for games launched with the Origin Client (at least Apex Legends that I know of).
The game's process r5apex.exe is protected and can't have its affinity or process priority changed once it is started up.

Unique traits:

• The game inherits Origin.exe affinity settings by default
• NotCPUCores is able to catch and adjust r5apex.exe affinity settings (when considered as 'Other Processes') if it is running before game is launched.

Problem:

• NotCPUCores can't begin unless game is already running (or it'll auto stop if it detects game isn't running, I'm not too sure about the backend)

The current tedious workaround:

1. Manually assign 'Origin.exe's affinity with Task Manager`
2. Launch game so r5apex.exe is fixed with the affinity settings I've assigned earlier
3. Run NotCPUCores

As I've mentioned, it is application specific and probably an issue affecting only a small number of your program's userbase, but it may still be useful for others.

Currently the software loops within a single function ignoring all GUI and all functions with only OnEvent() calls interrupting it. This needs to change to support multiple processes and to prevent call blocking to other parts of the code.

Hey!
I am wondering why does your program consumes so 15% of my cpu.
My computer is:
XEON 1230 v3
Gtx 1070
16GB ram (4x4 GB CL9 1600Mhz )

Linus you're a genius in all the wrong ways.

• Add support for OBS and XSplit optimization
• Options to split Processor resources based on various modes:

OFF - Disable Steaming Mod
Last Core - Assign Broadcasting software to the Last Processor Thread
Last 2 Cores - Assign Broadcasting software to the Last 2 Processor Thread
Last 4 Cores - Assign Broadcasting software to the Last 4 Processor Thread
Odd Cores - Assign Broadcasting software to odd numbered Processor Threads
Even Cores - Assign Broadcasting software to even numbered Processor Threads
Last AMD CCX - Assign Broadcasting software to All processor threads within the last CCX (per Ryzen Specs)
Last 2 AMD CCX - Assign Broadcasting software to All processor threads within the last 2 CCXs (per Ryzen Specs)

When I was trying to set the priority and core allocation for Steam.exe and looking at the debug console's commands it mentions "Exited. Restoring Previous State" after setting Steam.exe from turning it off/on and it resets back to the default settings. If I try to optimize Steam.exe while it is running the custom settings applied will work unless I turn off Steam.exe

Evidence for the 'exited' thing: https://imgur.com/a/GE3Xkp7

After restarting/deactivating Steam: https://imgur.com/a/MzNB5XX (notice that the 'previous state' sentence in the debug console is there).

While Steam is running: https://imgur.com/a/utApd3j (notice that the 'previous state' sentence in the debug console isn't there).

Start moving code commits to their own branch until changes are complete. This will allow bugfixing of the current version while still allowing future changes to be made.

1.7.0.0 onward

Hi,
i have AMD Ryzen 5 2600X (6C/12T) and AMD Ryzen 5 2400U (4C/8T).
both Windows 10 1909 (Build 18363.592)
both 16GB DualChannel RAM (DDR4-3200CL16 and DDR4-2400CL16)

Any custom cores setting (like: 1,3,5,7,9,11) (for AMD Ryzen 5 2600X) or "Physical Cores" doesnt work! Actually non setting other than "All-Cores" work! (and this only once)
Does not work on BOTH CPUs/APUs (i can also check on Ryzen 5 2400G if you want)

debug error:
"Exited. Restoring Previous State...
Done"
...and nothing happens!

I want NotCPUCores to run games with "above normal" prio and on "Physical Cores" only - while running OBS on cores (2,4) on 2500U or (2,4,6,8) on 2600X when i stream games! (using my APU for OBS AMF Encoder // while using x264 on 2600X)

With v1.6.2.0 it works fine!

Using network translation to complete the text translation of simplified Chinese, because I am not a programmer, I can't use github, I can only put the translated text here, I hope the author can see and add it to the program.

Newer games on lower end systems suffer from core loss. While this is less noticeable on higher threaded systems, preventing FPS degradation takes priority over frame-rate stability (0.1% and 1% lows).

Hello, so i'd love to know if there is anyway this touches the files in game folders or somehow hooks onto processes related to steam? Thank you

Hi there. I get an error message when i try to start NotCPUCores_x64.exe that says it's "disabled or has no enabled devices associated with it." I attached a screenshot of the error here.

I disabled a lot of windows' default services. Do I need to have any services enabled for notcpucores?

Thanks for making this program! It saves me a lot of time.

I have a 8C16T CPU and I intend to do:
6 threads for the game
2 threads for everything else
8 threads for OBS encoding

When I do these settings:
Work/Play: Custom, 1-6
Stream: Last Half
Assign Other Processes: Remaining Cores

Everything works fine, game is assigned first 6 cores and OBS is assigned last 8 cores.

However, if I choose to do this instead which should mean the same thing:
Work/Play: Custom, 1-6
Stream: Custom, 9-16
Assign Other Processes: Remaining Cores

After selecting Game/App Cores and saving the profile, it does not get set back to it upon loading profile on my next start.

Currently only processes that are already running once you start NotCPUCores are in the list.
Make the list refreshable by button and/or F5

Both AMD and Intel will be releasing future processors with 4 threads per core. Add code to handle these types of processors.

hey - long time nothing happend - will there be more updates anytime?

Allow translation of strings based on a language file

In the GUI, I cannot type more than 14 characters into the Process Name box. This is problematic, because the process name of the game I wish to use it with is 18 characters. I see no reason for this restriction, especially considering NotCPUCores works just fine with process names longer than 14 characters through the command line.

The README says that the project is open source, but without a license, it's still fully copyrighted to you.

I suggest a simple license, such as the MIT License.

thank you for your work ;)

Is this expected, or is it being forgotten?

At the end it says "This program is free and open source. Feel free to download and modify. Please do not put up for sale.", but according to the licensing terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 which was the license chosen by this product, it allows commercial use if you agree the contract and its conditions.

Hence, it would be possible to fork the code (make some tweaks to it if wanted) and sell it providing the source code along the binaries, and also attributing that there is code taken from this project, and that would not even be breach of contract.

Therefore, should be removed or changed that statement at the end. You may not want to sell your product, but you should make clear that if this product is being sold somewhere, then you are not related to that project and then you will not maintain neither support it. You should say something like "is allowed the use, modification... commercial use allowed... providing that sources are available..." but also warn that you are not responsible for whatever come from forks/derivative works.

Hey,

Thanks for such a great project! I just download the executable file version 1.7.1.0-beta. Normally, I always keep UAC security level at highest and using UAC: Only elevate executables that are signed and validated option. As a ref #47, I think your digital sign provider or signer no longer accessible. Can you update the digital sign, please? Thank you so much!

PS: I don't think about to turn off UAC. (Just little safety thing, to be out of sight from the Script Kiddies who has taken an black hacker course on Udemy and learnt something a noob thing on YouTube Premium)

I know I'm gonna sound stupid because it works for everyone else but I can't see an exe file, how do I use this? Help!

i'll be happy to do the German translation, but is it necessary to have a seperate file for each variety of German if they will be identical?

Add option to start the program if it doesn't exist

For TF2 I do not have any custom commands or launch options that alter with the cpu core useage (I have set "-high" in the command) But when I try to use NotCPUCores to limit tf2 to use only the physical cores (0 and 2) it is very likely it won't save or will randomly reset back to using all the cores (2 physical cores and 2 virtual cores).

So how do I know this? I use Task Manager to see if TF2 is running on the cores I want it to run on; sometimes when the optimization actually works: in TM, TF2, Details, right click hl2.exe (it is TF2), and go on the set affinity it shows that only cores 0 and 2 are running/used. When the cpucores app doesn't work TM says that TF2 is using all the cores.

Hello
I found your project really good and as I'm learning how to code I decided to make my version.
The problem is that AutoIt is a little hard and I'm more confortable with c#.

I wanted to know which windows services does the software close and how does It choose which processes are optimized.

I didn't find any way to send you a message so I did It here
thanks

Create installer with NSIS

Depending on processor architectures certain core assignments will perform better than others, this is especially notable with AMD based processors. Look into and convert "Last AMD CXX" and "Last AMD" to Processor optimized settings.

Fairly simple idea: Since there is a GUI version of the program there should be a screenshot of it in the README so that people know what it looks like without needing to install the software.

Using 1.6 it shows the default core assignment for my 4 core AMD A8-7600 to be "1-2", but it still behaves like "1". Once i delete it and retype "1-2" or "1,2" it will actually use the first 2 threads

Sign all executables using generated P12 file and Digicert.

If you want to keep people from repackaging the code and selling it - avoid using the MIT license (probably use GPLv3 - that has pretty strict anti-commercial resale ideas in it).

Enlarge UI, especially horizontally to allow more upcoming options

Perhaps merge Back-end Console and Window Process List into UI (Collapsible?)

hey, when i run "Debug Console" to see if NotCPUCores works fine it doesnt scroll to the newest event

would be nice if you fix that. ;)

May I suggest something like....

Easy to work with and works well

sry,my english is poor.
i found that notcpucores register the hotkey F5.
F5 is used by many games or softwares,this conflict made lots of problem.
can i suggest to fix it?

Currently always limited to core 1 by default.
Make the default list of cores contain all cores.

i've been using NotCPUCores instead of CPUCores recently, and i'd like to be able to minimize the window, maybe even to the system tray, as it does take a while to start up & would be more convenient to just start once & then optimize games when needed
