Smoother Gameplay (READ DESCRIPTION) 2.0.0

how to use?

Speaking for all of the Community you need to describe this feature in a little more detail and how a .bat file works.

Your picture for the mod has a description of Realistic graphics rather than a pic of what this does... 

We're going to need some details on a install and what this does for the LSPDFR community and a FPS file?

I'm all for a file that makes my GTA more efficient and adds FPS... Just confused and not educated enough on .bat files to know wtf is going on lol?

It's a batch job that starts the game with the first line by running the RAGEPluginHook executable
the next line sleeps for 60 seconds (meaning it pauses for a minute)

then it uses wmic to find the process in task manager that is named GTA5.exe and set it to high priority which means the system will allow it more processing time than others. The other two processes (gtavlauncher & subprocess.exe) will go into idle mode, which means they will sit idle and not consume resources.

There is nothing nefarious going on, but I don't know how much improvement you'll get from setting the gtavlauncher.exe and subprocess.exe to idle, they don't seem to consume much either way. Setting the GTA5.exe (main game executable) to high priority could improve your game performance, but it would depend on what your system build is and where any actual bottleneck in  performance is the cause of.

It's all standard stuff when tweaking performance of an application. Ideally you have the hardware to run a program and not have to go to such granular levels, but it's worth a try if you need some extra horsepower.

NOTE: I'm not responsible for any damages real or imagined this causes you or anyone else. I did not write it, I'm simply using my 20+ years experience as an application administrator for global IT systems that I run to offer insight on what the batch file is doing under the hood.

Thanks for your input and info on .bat files. My fps runs high while my CPU stays pretty low so I don't think this would be a mod that would benefit me.

All I needed to know lol🍻

How do you work this? Do you just double click the file you drag on your desktop and wait till it’s done with it’s 60 seconds, then click on RPH after and run LSPDFR?

Please read the new description. It explains everything in way more detail.

If you're curious on how it works and how to install properly, please read the description.

Will this remove map drop ?

Yep!

Is there anything I can do about it? I can safely launch RAGEPluginHook from the desktop, and there are no problems. The name is as required. But if I do it through a bat file, you see this:

Don’t drag the entire application from the Game Directory to your Desktop, you’re supposed to make a copy of RAGEPLUGINHOOK and drag that to your Desktop. Leave the actual application in your game directory.

Thanks for sharing - I used to do something similar on my older PC to help. (I cannot remember where I got the list of processes from, it was a long time ago). 

Anyway - I had a few more processes on my old list (below) - if you or anyone else is interested in using them. Not sure if anybody uses Skype anymore for example 🤣
