I recently installed Process Lasso for a Ragnarok Online private server game. It seemed to work quite well but I noticed the game started crashing randomly. One by one i changed the settings and I've concluded with 100% certainty that when I set Performance Mode to anything higher performing than "balanced", the game client will crash.
Has anyone else run into this issue? I need the performance mode on a higher setting than balanced otherwise I get lag spikes in the game.
If it makes any difference I hear my fan start to go full blast as soon as high performance mode is set to anything other than balanced.
Doesn't seem like a process lasso issue...
You can try setting Performance mode from windows with process lasso closed, but it doubt it would change anything.
I had the same issue with high-performance mode causing crashes in another game. Try enabling ProBalance and CPU Limiter in Process Lasso instead, gives smoother performance without forcing max settings.
I recommend stress testing the PC in a high performance power plan/mode. I suspect there are thermal control or other hardware instabilities that only manifest when you're in a high performance power plan. Let me know how it goes!

What do you suggest for CPU Limiter?

The thing is I've played lots of other games that require much higher performance than RO (Destiny 2, D2R, D4, PoE2, etc) and I've never had performance or crashing issues do to thermal control before with them.
Now, i haven't tested those games with Process Lasso in HP mode to see if they also crash but all I know is that when I have performance mode on I get periodic crashes and when it's off I don't when I play RO.
It's likely that the game client isn't optimized for aggressive CPU performance settings—try excluding the game process from Performance Mode in Process Lasso and instead tweak individual CPU affinities or priorities manually to stabilize it.
