Processor Lasso alternative?

[Zelenia]

Hey,

 

I got bit of issue with one of the games I used to play quite a bit (Black Desert Online). I've had lots of stutter and FPS issues with this game over the years. My main issue now is that the FPS jumps between 30-120, rendering the game  unplayable. This same issue repeats when I lock FPS to 60, it will just jump around 10-60 in some places.

 

This is because of "bottleneck" from my Ryzen 5 3600 processor. The game is programmed in a way that it can't utilized threads properly. So I have this funny situation where the game is using only 6 cores at 70% and threads are sitting at 20%.

 

There is way to "fix" this by allocating cores to render game and UI separated (yes, it's stupid I know). This will fix the stutter. 

 

However, I don't want to use Processor Lasso for this. I feel kind of unsafe when using it for some reason. Is there any free alternative? 

 

I can't run my processor at 4,2ghz with the current cooler I got. It gets too hot (85-95C).

Nvm I found out that you can also set affinity on Task Manager. So no need to install any "snake oil" software.

Affinity needs to be reset when you re-launch the game. That's why things like Process Lasso exist (which by the way isn't snake oil in the slightest, I've been using it for years).

Allright, ty for correction. I'll try again if I can change the settings so I won't get issues with that software again.
