AlacrityPC - very cool utility

[Hawkes]

Any wisdom on how to configure this? Granted, I didn't read the help...so if that's where I should start, steer me that direction.

Otherwise, I went through the interface, made some custom modifications/configurations, started the utility....and then sat at this black Command Prompt screen w/ a couple of options.

I waited for about 20 min, then hit X to skip it...it did some stuff, finished, and I'm left with a GUI that looked identical to when I started the utility....

Did you start the game  before you clicked start?  I launch my game and while that is loading and the splash screens are going, I slick start on this and all is well.  Not sure if that's how it's supposed to happen, but it works for me.

Thanks, guys. I devoted more time to it and was able to configure the utility. It's pretty sweet. i notice marginal improvements -- but for a free utility, it's not bad.

I just start it and then i am in the "barebones mode" and launch the game.

Anyone gotten AlacrityPC to work with WAR beta?  I set it up as I would for WoW pointing it to warpatch.exe, but as soon as warpatch opens Alacrity thinks it's finished and restores Vista to it's normal state.

I haven't had a chance to wade through the user guide yet.  I hope to have time today...

So, after looking at the slim documentation, it seems like to get AlacrityPC to work with WAR as it's currently embodied I'd have to set warpatch.exe as Start Before then use a dummy program like notepad.exe as Monitored.  That way AlacrityPC will launch warpatch.exe then notepad.exe and only restore the system to normal after I've closed notepad.exe allowing warpatch.exe to run and in-turn auto-launch war.exe, which you can't run directly.

Sound right?

[Juggz]

That doesn't seem right, Troyer....You shouldn't have to do that. I don't have the app in front of me at the moment, but off the top of my head wasn't there an option about what to do after a monitored program launched...i'll take a look when i get home and post what i find.

I do know that in order to run TS and WoW, I had to launch WoW normally (as monitored) and then have TS launch after a 30s pause (also a monitored app). If I launched TS without the pause, WoW wouldn't run properly.

Yea, I saw the setting I was thinking about, but it wouldn't affect what you're describing, Troyer. So....yea, I guess you have to do what you're doing.

Because it's (it being WAR's beta client) engineered the way it is, I think that's the only way Alacrity's going to recognize it.  I config'd it this way last night and it ran fine.

Did you notice a big enough difference in performance from running this vs not running this?  If so, when are you coming over to set up my puter with this?! 

[Troyer]

Well, last night was the first time I ran it on my gaming machine at all so I'll have to try it out w/o Alacrity tonight.
