    Older Steam game CTD on launch due to CPU having too many cores.


    I'm trying to get Child of Light to run without having to limit my cores through MSCONFIG.EXE. The game will simply CTD upon launch if there are more than 16 logical cores available. Is there a way to set processor affinity for the game before it launches?

    :)

    I installed the Steam version of Bioshock Infinite and it ran great.

    Graphics are great and went as far as my first kill (a slicer), saved the game, exited completely and then opened my save

    All seems to work okay

    If the "Afterburner" is a overclocking program, games can be finicky

    Glad you figured out what was wrong...

    BTW.... Thanks for the PC Gaming Wiki tip
