PC Game lag when launched via MP (1 Viewer)

[tillz0r]

Hey,
If I have MP and some of the newer PC games running I get a fair bit of FPS lag.

Is it possible to have MP exit when a game is launched?

I was thinking it might be possible to launch a batch file that stops MP then launches the game?

There is a fix coming up with some code I implemented that will suspend Mediaportal while games are running. I am waiting on the write permissions for the svn repository but when I can get a test version out this would hopefully help you with your problem.

Hey guys, i've been away for a long time, does anyone know if this is fixed yet? Would be great to be able to launch my pc games from MP

u can probably use a .bat file in the interim

grab this file and save it to c:\

Here is an example for call of duty 4
copy + paste the code in notepad and save as C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\runcod4.bat

C:\killprocess.exe mediaportal.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3sp.exe

you could also try using /t
C:\killprocess.exe /t mediaportal.exe
this will attempt to close mediaportal nicely

I'm sure someone else could come up with something fancier that auto restarted mediaportal when you closed the game.

If you go to this post there is a link to a batch file that will close mediaportal and launch another program, and then when that program closes relaunch mediaportal. It is set up for hulu desktop but could easily be edited for a game I would think.
