Weird thing is though that with the earlier tests I've sent it crashed even with 2 cores or one if it was the wrong one But atleast I found one that worked well enough

Mmmh did not feel that random.. but then again both hex codes you provided also did not work. Looking foreward to the new version!

Thx!

Okay.. I've made a whole set of logs and put them in separate folders indicating which cpu it used with what hex number.. I went from 1-C

Seems like when ever it includes a Hyperthreaded core it gives an error.. the error when using 9 was different then the rest.. I've included a screenshot.

There must be a Hex number for selecting only the 16 real cores.. but I am not smart enough to find it out and do not have enough patience to try them all

Hope it helps: http://we.tl/ZDSlb506hV

Ah found a solution!

Here they discuss solutions on how to add an affinity preset to a shortcut : http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/229129-28-affinity-prior-launch

well i use win7 and that doesnt work for me,
What i am trying to do is make a program use both cores for smoother sailing

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start /affinity 0 1 C:\Program Files\SpacialAudio\SAMBC\SAMBC.exe
(modified command line to set sam using the two cores)

C:\Program Files\SpacialAudio\SAMBC\SAMBC.exe
(is the original command line)

And a little further:

Orion, your command line should read:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity 3 "C:\Program Files\SpacialAudio\SAMBC\SAMBC.exe"

I've added the quotes for clarity. I'm not sure if it likes spaces in paths. I've added the first set of quotes because Start will annoyingly use the first set of quoted text as the title.

The affinity should be a single hexadecimal number, not a list of CPU numbers:
1 = use CPU 0
2 = use CPU 1
3 = use CPU 1 and 0
4 = use CPU 2
...
F = use CPU 3, 2, 1 and 0

Some of the hex numbers give different errors while starting voidexpanse and using one cpu makes it run very choppy.. but there are combinations that work..

Aha yes I had this issue with the latest farcry game as well.. I had to go into my bios and disable multithreading. I'll try that first

thx

Even if I did not install it via steam? this is the download directly from the atomictorch site...

Lets see.. I cannot find a way to actually upload it so let me upload it here:

thx!

When I try to start voidexpanse I get:

Startup error:
object reference not set to an instance of an object 

And a quit button..

Any idea what is the cause?
