What? This guide is for anyone experiencing FPS issues that are caused by a CPU bottleneck (you can check what your CPU % usage by opening task manager via CTRL+ALT+DEL and selecting the Performance tab).
Why? Tarkov does not run well when hyperthreading is enabled on most CPUS (AMD and Intel), as it can put a heavy load on your CPU rather than your GPU and cause massive FPS drops and/or stutters
How? The application Process Lasso allows you to disable hyperthreading automatically.This is how you set it up:
- Download Process Lasso
- Select Active Processes
- Right-click EscapeFromTarkov.exe
- Select CPU Affinity > Always > Disable Hyper-Threading (SMT for AMD users)
Use this image as a guide:
This disables hyperthreading everytime you launch the game (As long as Project Lasso is running, which is its default to run on windows launch)
On average this should get people with CPU bottleneck issues (usually) 80%+ CPU usage down to around 55-65%, which results in much higher frames, sometimes double.
Link to my original post from last wipe, that has proof in comments that this works and still works:
