[Server] Game resets affinity

[silentradios]

I have the same issue.. I wrote a one liner in powershell you can copy/paste into the win-r run dialog to set the processoraffinity in a loop - I have experienced zero kicks, although I did have one CTD (could be unrelated) when running multi-core -- freelancer still uses one core for the majority of things regardless of affinity settings:

Code:

powershell -c while($true){$f=ps freelancer -EA SilentlyContinue;if($f -and $f.ProcessorAffinity -eq 1){$f.ProcessorAffinity=[int]([Math]::Pow(2,$env:NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS)-1);write-host "Set at $(get-date -Format "s")"};sleep 1;}

More readable version:

Code:

while($true) {
  $fl=Get-Process -Name Freelancer -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
  if($fl -and $fl.ProcessorAffinity -eq 1) {
    $fl.ProcessorAffinity=[int]([Math]::Pow(2,$env:NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS)-1)
    "Set at $(get-date -Format "s")"
  }
  sleep 1
}

Does discovery itself call SetProcessAffinityMask anywhere?

Might also be reasonable to have a thread in the discovery launcher enabled by a setting that does this if the root cause isn't easy to find.
