CPU Affinity Fix for Stalker

Text on the meme

thank you xray engine for making me untick every single cpu core except 7 in order to stop Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl stuttering, and thank you that one guy with a slur as his name on reddit for posting this solution Processor affinity Which processors are allowed to run "XR_3DA.exe"? CPU 3 CPU 4 CPU 5 CPU 6 CPU 7 CPU 8 CPU 9 CPU 10 CPU 11 CPU 12 CPU 13 lmao OK Cancel

What it means

A screenshot shows a Windows Processor affinity dialog for Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl, with every CPU core unchecked except CPU 7 and a red “lmao” annotation. The joke is that an absurdly specific workaround is needed to stop the game from stuttering, so the sender is thanking the game engine and a Reddit user for the bizarre solution.
