Process Lasso / 9950X3D2 Core Affinity
Last post by Adenoid - Yesterday at 12:11:48 AM
Any X3D2 owners out there have weird thread scheduling/affinity behavior? New build, 9950X3D2, new Windows 11 Pro install, latest BIOS on an X870E-E board w/ latest chipset drivers. Random games will be set by Windows to CCD2--if I look at the affinity they are set to core 16-31 only, 0-15 are disabled. This isn't the usual thread scheduling you'd expect to see (all core affinities enabled, but just 0-15 being used for games). The games that are affected are completely random as well. So far I have seen it with Nioh 3, Grim Dawn, Alaloth, and King Arthur Legion IX.

At least with Nioh 3 the performance is crippled to being unplayable--about a 30-40% performance hit with wild fluctuations--unless I open task manager and change it to all cores (works normally if I do that) or use Process Lasso.

Managing preferences and ensuring they remain saved after a restart is an important part of delivering a smooth user experience. Likewise, a Fast Streaming App offers reliable performance, quick loading times, and consistent playback, helping users enjoy uninterrupted entertainment while maintaining their preferred settings across sessions.

Tbh, PECompact hasn't been on my radar at all, so while I'd never say never, I don't foresee it getting resurrected by me. Perhaps I'll open source it...

Thanks for the nostalgia! I often miss those days.

We've worked on this in v18.2.3.17 BETA with the following changes:

(17) GUI: Rules window "Auto-resize Columns" now offered for titles only
(17) GUI: Rules window "Show All Columns" and "Hide Empty Columns" now act as toggles that restore the previous column layout when turned off
(17) GUI: Rules window "Auto-resize Columns" no longer unhides columns
(17) GUI: Rules window "Show All Columns" and "Hide Empty Columns" no longer reset column widths

If you try it, let me know how it goes or if you have further feedback!

With that information, I can pinpoint exactly why configurations 8, 10, 12, and 14 cause crashes while 8–15 works normally.

We will absolutely take a look at improving this! I'll reply again with news.

Hey, thanks for your support and additional purchase! It really means a lot.

Yes, we can maybe add a donate button. We've had one in the distant past, but it felt a little strange to both ask for donations and offer paid licenses.

The donation link, for anyone looking, would be: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/bitsum

We also need to visit the checkout process to see if any value add upsells might be appropriate. That'd be a great way for people to contribute more (after all, our prices are crazy low!) and get something more in return.

Thanks for your feedback, as always! It is truly valuable.

General / Proposal for a donation button...

Hi,

After seeing how much dedication you put into Process Lasso Pro and using it constantly over the past 8 years, I really wanted to send a donation your way, even though I already own a lifetime license.

Since I couldn't find a donation button, I decided to just buy another lifetime license during your 40% discount sale. (Though to be honest, I don't even have that many PCs! 😉)

Have you thought about adding a dedicated donation button (supporting PayPal, Visa, or credit cards) similar to your regular checkout?

I'm sure many long-time users would love to leave a "tip" to show their appreciation for new features or simply to support such a useful tool.

Keep up the great work!

Process Lasso / 18.2.2.10: EDIT rules - column...
Last post by ranko - July 19, 2026, 06:12:02 AM
Thanks for "edit rules." It's a really nice functionality to see your most important changes to process scheduling.

I discovered a few things around the column handling and re-sizing that do not work as expected
and even destroy your previous adjusted settings by not doing the "right" (expected) thing.

Here is my proposal to change the functionality so that it works how it should, and I really hope that you like this proposal.
Many thanks upfront.

To "Show all columns"
Problem description: Besides showing all columns, it also changes the column width and makes them so narrow that you can't read the column titles anymore.
The issues: Two. It destroys your last chosen column size settings and makes columns too small.
User experience: Its frustrating if the function destroys your last adjustments by making more things than the name implies.
Proposal: Change the function to work as a toggle. Toggle between the "previously selected" columns and "showing all columns". Remember column sizes as they are before the toggle operation, to not lose adjustments of column sizes, be they manual adjustments or by auto resizing.

To "Auto resize columns"
Proposal: should be offered in two flavors
- Auto-resize Columns (title)      -> strict sizing according to column title, to see full titles everywhere
- Auto-resize Columns (title+values) -> same as before, additionally make a column broader to see all values
Rationale: The first gives you a better overview about all columns and their meaning. The 2nd adds some space if your demand is to see all values just in case they need more space.

To "Hide empty columns"
The issues: Two. It destroys your last chosen column size settings and makes columns too small.
Proposal: Change the function to work as a toggle. Toggle between the "previously selected" columns and "hiding empty columns". Remember column sizes as they are before the toggle operation to not lose adjustments of column sizes, be they manual adjustments or by auto resizing.

Feature request:
Provide the possibility of saving and and recalling your preferred columns and their sizing.
- Store column selection+sizing
- Recall column selection+sizing
