Title: GTA SA Multicore suport?
Post by: Wayne on August 28, 2011, 05:52:05 am
Is there a way to force multicore support?

i've tried to set process afinity in task manager, but whenever i got back to game, my mouse freezes, but i can move with keyboard.
Is there a way to fix this?

Actually is the game, the mouse freezes inside the game when multicore suport is used. When outside the game it works fine

All i need is a way to fix this mouse bug.

Nope, one core only.

Why would you need to force multicore any way?

What OS are you using? Windows 7 uses all cores by default. You might've chosen to only have one core in MSConfig.

No, it doesn't. How on earth can a program made for one core work on multiple cars without an update? It can't, you must be getting mixed up with the PC and the program using multiple cores.

Wayne wants it so multiple cores are used by GTA: SA not his pc, of course the PC uses all of it's cores, but GTA: SA only makes use of one.

But Wayne, no you can't force it to use multiple cores.

Too fix it, just remove any setting you have applied and have it back as it was before.

CPU Control is a freeware program for that.
I had Windows XP, GTASA was running on 1 core all the time and was lagging as hell. I set gta_sa.exe to run on 2 cores - no lag.

I need multicore suport, because my processor is six core and runs 2.8ghz each, when i'm running 1 core in my GTA SA lags slightly, so, that's why i need atleast 2 cores, but GTA SA forces the use of only one, And whenever i set extra cores in process afinity, the mouse freezes inside the game. :|

And yes, i'm running Win7 X64

Are you sure it is the processor causing the issue?

That's not the problem, it's a game malfunction, i have searched in google, some people has exactly the same problem when enabling 2+ cores into the game.

How can it be a game malfunction when the game doesn't support more than one core?

I only have a quard core, but I have never changed any setting for the CPU and have never had any issues at all with it.

Perhaps the windows set automatically your GTA to 1 CPU due to compatibility issues?

but i've seen people force multicore suport, and had sucess, but i've been looking hard on it and couldn't find a solution :|
It is possible, since some ppl done.
