Helpful utility if you are adjusting CPU affinity

Run this little app, set up a new profile. (right click in the little white window, and select add program).

Name the profile in the top bar, then click the browse button, locate the BTR executable and select. Can set priority too if needed. Then, go to the SMP tab and you can set which CPU(s) it will use. Save profile and then whenever you launch the game you run WinXP launcher and double click your profile. No need to alt-tab and manually set affinity each time.

Added plus, at least for me, the game launches/save loads much faster when set to a single core from the start. :)

Thank you for the utility it seems to fix most of the performance issues (do not need to disable direct draw).  Great suggestion!

That is a great little utility for setting program priority and affinity for specific games, thank you.

However, it does not fix the issue I have which is having Target Damage highlight on...this particular issue seems to be connected to DirectDraw, being as when I switch OFF DirectDraw the problem (unplayable map scrolling) goes away.

This utility does prevent having to ALT-TAB out the game though (which it really doesn't like)
