Hi-
That's weird because I just did a test and imagecfg did properly force
srcds.exe to whatever CPU I chose. Here's my result:
D:\Dev\mdurand_main>imagecfg -a 0x2 C:\srcds\orangebox\srcds.exe
C:\srcds\orangebox\srcds.exe contains no configuration information
C:\srcds\orangebox\srcds.exe contains a Subsystem Version of 4.0
C:\srcds\orangebox\srcds.exe updated with the following configuration
information:
Process Affinity Mask: 00000002
Does anyone else get this failure when running imagecfg.exe?
Also, if you add the command line option -threads 1 the dedicated server won't
try to take advantage of the other threads on the system so then each server
will stay segregated on whatever core you started them on.
C:\srcds\orangebox>srcds.exe -game tf -threads 1
-Mike

imagecfg normally works with srcds but not the orangebox srcds, get this

srcds.exe updated with the following configuration information:
