The Sims: Medieval Tips

Increase game Performance (Linux only)

If you have a system with more than 1 CPU Core, you can address a own
core to the game!

STEP 1

Find out the PID of the Game.
You can use the "ps" command or a system monitor of your choice.
Here is an example with "ps":

ps aux | grep TSM

what will give you an output like:

username    2979  0.0  1.2 134208 12768 ?        Sl   Jun05   0:00 TSM

meaning that the game has the PID  2979

STEP 2

Open a root terminal and set a CPU Core affinity to the PID with:

 taskset -p 4 2979
 
to use CPU Core 3 (  "taskset -p 3 2979" would use CPU Core 2)



This should work with every game!
In my opinion the most effective way is
-to open a root terminal
-start the game (NOT WITH THE ROOT TERMINAL, use the normal launcher!!!)
-when the game is running, switch with Alt+Tab to the terminal
-do the 2 Steps
-and switch back to the game with Alt+Tab

Enjoy
