-USEALLAVAILABLECORES launch option

#1 Post by jarvik79 » 19 Nov 2016 10:28

So, I'm seeing this launch option being used by some people.
Googling brings up stuff about other games, but I thought ATS & ETS2 used all cores available by default anyway. And when I've tried it myself, I honestly can't see any difference at all in either CPU utilization or in-game performance.

So, what does this option actually do, in ATS/ETS2? (If anything) Or is it just some people's mistaken belief that it will somehow magically make a difference, like mm_pool_size?

All the parameters I know or actually use are present in the game executable.

Such a name isn't. So I guess it is something people just copied from other games, hoping for the best.

Indeed. If you can't find it in the executable with a string search then it doesn't exist.

It amazes me how some people are willing to assume things like "It works in game X so it must work on my toaster"... ;)
