Still no answer, not even from mods

[A Former User]

So I asked how to run the plutonium-bootstrapper on all 8 threads permanently on startup, because every time I run it up it only uses 2 threads. I wonder what superbrain came up with that bs. I dont even get an answer from mods, devs or other ppl and I cant be the only one who has such a hard time with plutonium. No answer or no fix: Me and my mates will nerver use plutonium again, dont even think of donating and play the steam version instead.

BxdLogic acting like that won't get you an answer for the record

The Bootstrapper and all that other shit isn't designed to suck up your systems recourses since windows does enough of that shit already and these games are fairly old and there are prob other limitations in place preventing them from doing it

the games aren't supposed to suck up resources either since I think they can use up to 4 cores (MAYBE) again they are old and prob have a limitation on what they can and cannot use

Using more recourses will cause performance issues for older systems which a good majority of people who play pluto are on lower end systems and they already can't handle the strain

BxdLogic The thing is no one has to answer you, this a free project that we work on on our free time, we don't have to respect any support quota or anything, get real for a second.
If you didn't get an answer this just means that the people who read your message didn't have the answer and the people who might have an answer didn't see your message.
We apologize deeply for not prioritizing you over the thousands of people who ask for help daily while we have our jobs and lives, this won't happen again!

Anyways, to answer your "question", I personally never saw anyone with that issue or who mentioned that and I don't have enough knowledge to answer that question.
Maybe capping your FPS to a certain amount, using high priority in task manager or using the right GPU/performance mode etc could help? https://plutonium.pw/docs/low-fps/

Also afaik Windows has something to do that, maybe you could use that instead (Win + R and type msconfig)

why do you need it to run on 8 threads? the game itself utilizes a single thread so a cpu with decent single thread performance is needed (for dedis and for clients) although any half decent cpu from the past 10 years should be able to run the game well.

If you have any performance issues they are most likely not caused by the game using a single thread (which the steam version does too btw).
