Zintoms Game Optimizer

Boosts gaming performance by limiting the 'priority' of other processes and optionally limiting how many CPU cores they can use (processor 'Affinity').

Download

To download, go to the releases section, find your platform and download the corresponding .zip file; Alternatively go to the main/Compiled directory and download the zip from there.

First start

When in the Main Menu, you have two methods of boosting, using the pre-built modes under the 'Optimize' menu, or, by manually entering a command via the 'Command Input' option. To view more info on commands see 'Help' in the Main Menu.

Must-do's before running

All processes you do not want affected by the optimizer are kept in a whitelist file called "process_whitelist.txt", which is automatically generated when you first run the app. By default it contains a list of common programs/games that do not want optimizing like the Steam processes etc. You will need to add your apps/games to this list in order for the optimizer to ignore them.

To add new apps/games to the white-list; first find the app/game executable name (either through Task Manager or by going to the installation path of the app/game and finding the .exe file); Then copy the application name into the "process_whitelist.txt" file on a new line without the '.exe' extension.

If you wish to group different applications in the file together, you can use the comment symbol '#' to label groups, the optimizer ignores whatever is written in front of this symbol so you can label sections like '# Games' and '# Apps' etc.

If you use communication apps like Discord, Teamspeak or Mumble, I highly suggest you add these to the whitelist file.

Last bit

If you find any bugs please report them on the issues page; Likewise if you want to contribute feel free to fork the project and make a pull request with your changes/improvements and I'll take a look.

Show your love and support by scanning the app with your favourite anti-virus and marking it as safe, as well as going to VirusTotal.com to upload/scan it there and leave an upvote showing that this application is safe for future users.

Thanks for using my app 😃
