Can't change priority or cpu affinity, access denied? | Forums

[Last_Approach]

Is anyone able to tell me how to get around this issue - I would like to change the Priority to HIGH or REALTIME To see if any of my FPS issues are resolved, but getting ACCESS DENIED like everyone else.

I see earlier in this thread a workaround was proposed; can someone provide some details about this?

FarCry5 process pushed to "High" priority.
You need to edit your Windows registry for that and add:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\FarCry5.exe\PerfOptions
Then add value DWORD: CpuPriorityClass 0x00000003

Check the solution posted by brhume, copy the following code block into a text file. Save it as a FarCry5HighProcessPriority.reg file, then run it to apply the settings:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; dword:00000001	= Idle
; dword:00000002	= Normal
; dword:00000003 	= High
; dword:00000004	= RealTime (n.a.)
; dword:00000005	= Below Normal
; dword:00000006	= Above Normal

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\FarCry5.exe\PerfOptions]
"CpuPriorityClass"=dword:00000003
