While this is indeed very helpful, if a game needs this amount of dedication to run properly, we can see that there are some serious problems here.

I don't have Set Affinity.
Only have: Collapse, End Task, Resource Values, Create Dump File, Goto details, Open File Location, Search Online & Properties.

You have the "Processes" (1st) tab open instead of "Details" (6th).

For sure, it's just there's unfortunately no easy fix in sight. Making the engine take advantage of multiple cores is a significant rewrite FP likely will never do.
Theoretically someone could write a program that automated this but I can't be bothered

Looks good, I should probably learn powershell one day.
How hard would it be to make it read process names from a text file? That way you can have it limit more than just one process and don't have to type the process names every time. Might play around and try myself...

Hey man. If you just want it so that it targets a different process to Steam then you can replace "Steam" in the PS1 file where it targets it to something else. If you want to make it so that it reads from a text file, that's pretty easy too, however I'm assuming you just mean a text file containing one process. If you want to make it so it applies this to a few processes it's a bit different and I can provide some examples over PM. For just the one, pop this at the top of the script:
Code:
$secondtarget = Get-Content -Path C:\users\noop\desktop\blabla.txtAnd then modify these lines as shown below:
Code:
Write-Host "Set affinity of" $secondtarget "to use other half of logical cores" -BackgroundColor DarkGreen
(Get-Process $secondtarget).ProcessorAffinity = [int]$otheraffinLiv

I was thinking just putting a few processes (5-10) in a text file and have it loop through em.
I actually just bought a new CPU though so I don't even need this guide anymore :')
Appreciate the explanation though ofc

Ah fair enough mate. That's easy to do anyway. Format list as CSV, make sure it has a key (header),
Code:
import-csv C:\blabla.csv | ForEach {
do some function with variable $_.headername
}
