Process Priority

I have noticed that Gw.exe runs at low priority in my task manager.
As i sometimes have some framerate problems, i tried to change priority to normal and it worked ! But after a few seconds, priority falls back to low.
Is there a command to change this? I am very dissapointed, it's the 1st time i see a game running in low priority.

I have thew same problem sometimes.. as with a few of my friends.

Change the priority, and then DONT CLOSE IT, just keep it opened up and go back to your game.

Don't close Task Manager? I tried but low priority comes back anyway
In fact i was asking if there is a command to start Guild wars in normal priority, just like -perfs.

Just tried it myself. I'm on a P4-2.4HT, and the priority is set to low. After setting to high, it ran for about 10 seconds and then switched back to low. Throughout this time my FPS remained the same, so I don't think you have anything to worry about here. Maybe the game designers intended for it to be this way so that it would run on the lower quality processors?

Mine runs on normal priority. But every other comment that I've seen posted for the last month says that theirs runs on low priority. Weird.

Sigh, it like most other things switches to low when it's not in the foreground/full screen. Once you're actually playing the game it switches back to normal.

Dunno.

I'm runnin a P4 2.oghz and when I set it to High Priority, it seems to remain there. Even when its running in the background.

EDIT:: Gotcha. Kunt0r's got this one nailed. For windows XP If your in the task manager and click on view, select columns theres an option for base priority, if you make sure that has a check, priorities will have a slot on the window. Put guildwars into windowed mode and then go to your task manager window you'll see what he means. Change the priority to somthing then switch back to guild wars (if your in windowed mode the task manager will remain on top) and you'll see that gw.exe's priority will change to normal when its in the forground and to low when its in the background.

It doesn't switch untill you make a change, so if you set it to high then do nothing, it's going to stay at high. Set it to high, go full screen, minimize, and check, it'll be back at low.

Since my original topic with more detailed info in it has been locked , I will have to continue one, as suggested.

I hve been using batch files to run games in High priority mode since several months after the release of XP. As i stated in the other topic, untill about a week ago i would change this to high priority and it WOULD stay there. hence i made a batch file to do it every time.. it is only recently that the ability to run the process in anything other than low has been removed. This is someting i was doing since open beta, and i recant, it has only changed in the last week or so.

To be completely honest, i would set to high priority just after entering game with the char i pick, it would stay there when i alt tab back and forth to check.. howerver.. just beore this last patch, i noticed that the game was attempting to detect this and switch again in game after several seonds it would stutter as it switched, but this was happening only 2 or 3 days before the last patch, at the time I thought they might be forceing it somehow, but why? Now it is appatently someting they integrated into the last patch.

I do run in full screen mode with XP sp2. Users that run in windowed mode have reported it switching to normal once in windowed..
