I gain about 5-10% performance when I play Quake 3 in "High" priority...so my question is this...how do I automatically set Quake 3: Rocket Arena and Quake3: Team Arena to run in high priority? I have to launch them from Windows using shortcuts like:
""C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\quake3.exe" +set fs_game arena +bot_enable 0 +set vm_cgame 0 +set vm_ui 0 +set sv_pure 0" in order to make them work...
normally with UT and Q3 I use a batch file to launch my games to set them in high priority...but the same won't work using shortcuts...is there a way around this?
my UT launch file looks like this:
echo off
Start /high unrealtournament.exe
thanks for any help in advance

just add the "start /high" in front of the shortcut command

OP
could you possibly be more specific? where to I add this information? on which end? is this another batch file or in the shortcut itself? etc...

hmmm.... on further investigation, it appears that the 'start' command is only available from the command prompt... you could just make your shortcut point to that batch file though. If you're wondering how to get all those parameters for quake3 in, you just type them at the end. For example, your batch file could look like this:
Code:
Code:
@start /high "C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\quake3.exe" +set fs_game arena +bot_enable 0 +set vm_cgame 0 +set vm_ui 0 +set sv_pure 0Of course, the above should all be on one line for it to work. And just fyi, the '@' accomplishes the same thing as 'echo off', but on a per-line basis. Usually, if I use echo off, I will write it as '@echo off'.
