Here is how to set your affinity settings using 8 core cpu splitting them into two 4 cpu cores

cmd.exe /c start "WoWSLauncher" /affinity F "C:\Games\World_of_Warships\WoWSLauncher.exe"

As you can see I added "F" next to /affinity that will let you use just 4 cores 0,1,2,3

I can do it easy in task manager but got to keep doing it everytime i want to play the game.

So if you want to use 0 1 2 3 cores just for the game you would add "F" in your line like so..

for cores 4,5,6,7 Do this....

Add F0 next to /affinity like so

cmd.exe /c start "obs32" /affinity F0 "C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\32bit\obs32.exe"
cmd.exe /c start "obs64" /affinity F0 "C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe"

Depends on if using 32 or 64bit of the os.

If doing it for obs it will not work as it can't find locale\eng-US.ini and failed to load locale but file is there.
So thats how you would set your affinity settings splitting 8 cores into two 4 cores
Am using windows 10.
You want to use 0,1,2,3 for the game and 4,5,6,7 for obs.

Only thing is that it does not save the settings of affinity after you exit the game it will return back to 8 cores when you start the game again.

Or try the easy way is to right click on icon that's on your desktop go to properties go to shortcut and type in next to "Target".

cmd.exe /c start "WoWSLauncher" /affinity F "C:\Games\World_of_Warships\WoWSLauncher.exe"

but back up whats in target just in case.This will use 0,1,2,3 cores of the cpu.
And this will be 4,5,6,7 of the cores.
cmd.exe /c start "WoWSLauncher" /affinity F0 "C:\Games\World_of_Warships\WoWSLauncher.exe"

Not what i was thinking of.
Was thinking the likes of saving the settings so you don't need to keep setting them.
But thank you for your input.

Ah i think i got it.
Right click on icon that's on your desktop go to shortcut and type in next to "Target" but back up whats in target just in case.
It works :D
