1. Type in Windows Search Box ''regedit''

2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWERE -> MICROSOFT -> WindowsNT -> Current Version -> Image File Execution Options

3. Now create a new key (Right click - NEW - Key) and name it [  r5apex.exe ]

4. After that create a key inside that folder and name it [  PerfOptions  ]

    Hello! I can confirm, it works, or at least it worked for the first match after i've done it. I god about +30 fps from this, but for the second and later games the fps dropped back to the previous levels. What is your suggestion about this?

    Same here Man, earlier when I didn’t have it on high priority, it was smoother than after I put it on high priority. It stutters like hell, and it’s unplayable. I put it back to normal.
