I have now tested the game on a 6 core AMD cpu and no matter what AFFINITY value I tried I could not get it to work properly.<br/>

This may mean that the fix does not work on any AMD cpu's. It could ...

Alby, yes I know but if I would like to listening music (mp3 files for example) during game, SPWAW sounds will "cover" music quite effective way because loss of any volume knob... And I like to hear both at same time (but SPWAW's sounds ...

I have removed the download link for the fix for now. I will need to test the fix on an Intel i5 computer and see what is wrong.

<r> Does the fix work for anyone on Windows 10???<br/>
<br/>
What if you try different checkboxes for the Affinity like selecting CPU 1,2 & 3 and leaving CPU 0 unchecked?<br/>

Here is a test you could try out:<br/>
<br/>
1. First start the game directly from mech.exe.<br/>
2. Then press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to get to the Windows task manager.<br/>
3. select the "details" tab.<br/>

Made a small update to the fix. New version number is 2.1.

<t> The point of Artillery fix version 2 was to automaticaly start SPWAW with the correct AFFINITY value depending on what type of cpu the user has. <br/>
