How to run GZ in high priority ALWAYS

[stranxk]

well this is a simple .bat but can be usefull for someone

1. open notepad
2. write this:

start /high GuitarStar.exe

3. Save as Whatever.bat
Save as type: All types
in your GZ folder (Where GuitarStar.exe is)

Now everytime you open your bat, GZ will run in high priority.
You can create a shortcut to your .bat

Hmm. Pretty cool. People that lag a lot will love this. I should try and do this with other games.

[flipsk8r1409]

a better way to do this is too also put in
tskill explorer.exe
since its running for no reason when playing the game

thanks flipsk8r1409... new .bat added

For even better performance use beta 5 update 4....for both you and your PC...

Thanx I think this works a whole lot! Also, instead of having a bunch of different GuitarStar.exe's you can now have bat files that load them and you name all of them something different. I put all the .bat files on my desktop and names them "GHI, GHII, GHIII, Rockband, Gamer Hero, etc."

Does this work for other programs, because I run some CPU intesive MIDI editing software for making charts and it'd be nice to be able to flip between playing and editing without lag.

first i need to fugure out how to even run gz2

[sonicxxrock]

it says that the TASKKILL or TKILL is not a command...

[stranxk]

are you writting it right?
maybe you're writting it bad
or... are you using win xp, vista?
try writting tskill instead og taskkill
(anyways, gz 2 beta 6 update 3 starts on "Above normal" priority)

[eggyegg500]

nice! i am about to try it with GH3

[halberdmetal]

For those with xp Home, write only

tskill explorer

And then the rest.

edit: nevermind, tskill doesn't work because explorer restarts
I tried to dload and install pskill but then guitar zero will crash
