The Isle Registry CPU High Priority

By Mistato

This guide will allow you to change any game ( and The Isle EVRIMA Branch) to CPU high priority permanently without using Task Manager every boot up. This guide is for anyone that is having issues with possible FPS lag/Troubleshooting. Modifying Registry can cause issues if done wrong. I highly recommended backing up your registry before modifying anything. I did not complete any performance tests. I do not take responsibility if you decide to destroy your registry by modifying keys without the proper knowledge. DO NOT use this guide if you are not comfortable modifying your registry.

Identify the game

First we need to identify which game we want to set to high priority. There are multiple ways to do this and I will show you one way.

I will be using The Isle EVRIMA Branch as my target for this guide. There are more ways to do this but I'll be choosing the below method to retrieve the exact name

1. Start up the game you would like to set to high priority

2. Open your task manager. To do this, on your keyboard press Ctrl + Shift + Esc
( if that doesn't work use Ctrl + Alt + Delete )

3. Locate the game within the Task Manager Processes tab

If there is an arrow, left click arrow to drop down the processes
Right click the process (usually the top) and click Go to details

4. Right click the game .exe and select Open file location

5. A window folder will open locating the game .exe

6. Copy the name of the game including the .exe

Click once on .exe and click again a second later
It is very important to copy the exact name for this registry edit

I retrieved the exact name for my target Game
TheIsleClient-Win64-Shipping.exe

Accessing Registry and Exporting back up

Now that we have the name for our target game. Let's create a back up of our registry before modifying.

There are multiple ways to open Registry editor

1(A). Right click start button and select Run

Type Regedit
Click OK

1(B). Use the search bar and type in Registry Editor

Select Registry Editor

[/list]

The Registry Editor will be open

2. Open File > Export

3. Name your exported Registry (anything you want)

Take note exporting might take a few seconds or minutes depending on the computer

4. Click Save

Adding a Registry to adjust CPU Priority

At this point we have the name of our game .exe and exported registry as a back up.

Please note, Modifying the Registry can cause issues if done wrong. Please stick to the guide. I do not take any responsibility if you decide to randomly input, modify or delete your registry, that is your own doing. This is your last warning.

I'll try to keep this simple, wiith the Registry Editor window open please follow below

1. Please copy and paste the path below into the search bar and press Enter on keyboard

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options
