CPUCores ADVANCED :: Beta Invites!

Original postCPUCores Beta is here!
Many of you have been showing your support for CPUCores ADVANCED, and have been asking relentlessly when you can get your hands on it. I am here to tell you the day has arrived!
We are opening up beta testing for anyone who wants to try it, but we want to be cautious. The new software is still being tested, and we expect bugs. This is normal. We have a system in place to report any bugs you encounter, so the faster you report bugs, the faster we can address them, and patch them in future releases.
F.A.Q.
Q: How do I access the Beta?
A: Head over to our discord, and follow the instructions in the #welcome and #roles channels.Q: Is space in the Beta limited?
A: For now, we remain open to anyone who wants to opt-in. However, if we feel our Beta users have exceeded capacity, we may suspend new Beta users for a while.Q: How do I report a bug, suggestion, or issue I find while testing?
A: The bug reporting icon at the bottom left of the app will allow you to send a bug report to the devs.Q: What is going on with Achievements?
A: Achievements have been semi-disabled, and many of the final achievements are not in the beta version of the software. However, there is a special achievement for participating in the beta. Some or all achievements may break over the course of our testing. We may be disconnecting them and reconnecting them as we test.Q: What is going on with the DLC?
A: The legacy DLC packages have been removed, and will be retired shortly. The functionality of the DLC will be built into CPUCores ADVANCED and all users will have it.Q: I don't see a difference between the old CPUCores and the new CPUCores ADVANCED, what gives?
A: This is entirely possible. You may still retain the same benefit from the old software as the new software. This is likely because your hardware or your OS is not further limited than what the standard features of CPUCores offer. This often means that you don't need the extra benefit yet, but remember as hardware ages, and as new technologies are added to games and game engines, the benefit of CPUCores ADVANCED only increases as time goes on, enabling you to use older hardware for longer.Q: Will I lose my saved settings when switching to the beta?
A: Some settings might not transfer automatically when switching to the beta. Please double-check your settings after opting in.Q: Can I revert back to the original version if I experience too many issues?
A: Yes, you can opt out of the beta at any time through the Betas tab in the Steam properties of CPUCores.Q: How stable is the beta version?
A: The beta is under active development and may have stability issues. We recommend making sure any unsaved data in games, applications, or programs is saved before using CPUCores ADVANCED Beta for the first time and be prepared for potential crashes or bugs.Q: How often will the beta version be updated?
A: We plan to release updates frequently to address reported issues and introduce new features as they are completed.Q: Will the beta version affect my game performance?
A: Performance may vary during beta testing due to ongoing changes. If you experience significant performance issues, please report them so we can investigate.Q: Where can I show off my FPS increase or performance gains?
A: Performance gains and FPS increases can be shared on our Discord server under the #show-off channel. - Developer post

Original postWe are happy to finally be able to share some of our newest screenshots with the community and finally have a realistic release date.
Our release has been pushed back many times, mostly due to factors outside our control, but also because we have been working to reduce the footprint of CPUCores ADVANCED and increase its functionality and features.
We were able to pack a bunch more things into CPUCA once we got a hold of Windows 11 and were able to test and tinker with some of the new settings in the OS. Unfortunately, that meant we needed more time to tinker and revisit old code to make sure everything was as clean as it could be.
We have updated our release date to August 31, which as long as no further major delays arise, we should be able to hit.
Please be aware that new features were added for every delay we have had, a better UI was designed, and more OS and CPU settings were discovered that might help more players.
That's our ultimate goal, to Maximize the FPS for as many players as we can.
We look forward to getting CPUCA into players' hands, and we are going to be opening a Beta soon!

We are gamers, we don't make bombs, or hold financial markets in our hands. We can't do much, but our thoughts and prayers won't do anything, so we are putting our money where our mouth is, and have donated USD$2,000 to savelife.in.ua
We encourage anyone who can to also donate, either time, money, resources, or whatever you can to stand up for democracy and against tyranny.

UPDATE on GamingVPN - A VPN made just for gamers, created by us!

Original postI have a quick update on my new project, GamingVPN. We are a privacy and security focused premium VPN provider which is focused around creating the best solution for PC Gamers.
I'm extremely excited to announce that we are approximately 95% ready for our first BETA test! If you're interested, fill out the "Notify me" area on the website and I'll contact you personally when we are ready for testing. Note, all BETA testing is FREE.
So what exactly is GamingVPN?
I'm building a VPN service that caters to gamers. Here are a couple examples:
1) The GamingVPN service runs dramatically faster on your PC, something that is critical to today's competitive gaming scene. This means our solution is up to 800% faster than competitor VPN products. For example, we've done benchmarks that show a 300MB/s download over our VPN uses 1/8th the processing power of our competitors. Less processing power for your VPN = more processing power for your games to use. It's that simple.
2) Our VPN service is not oversold. Typical VPN providers try to pack as many users in on a server as possible. Our solution actually does the opposite. We've pioneered backend AI to ensure that you are always able to use a VPN server that is as fast as possible.
Here are couple more examples:
3) Dual VPN by default. Our VPN service is actually 2 VPNs in 1. We've pioneered a technology enable to you to things like download video, files, and heavy duty usage over 1 VPN, while still allowing you to have low latency, ultra fast access for things like competitive gaming over another VPN. This enables your downloads to not slow down your gaming.
4) Unique Application -> VPN support. We've pioneered a technology enabling you to pick what application uses which VPN, or no VPN at all, on a per-application basis. For example, want to use Steam without a VPN, yet stream video using Firefox WITH a VPN? You can now easily do that!
If you'd like to learn more, please sign up for the BETA and stay tuned!

Original postCPUCores was built to do 1 thing and 1 thing only: Increase your FPS!
In addition to increasing your FPS, we are now working on adding more achievements to the software!
One thing CPUCores users seem to be passionate about is achievements. We've created a bunch of achievements already based upon the number of processor cores you have, as well as the amount of time you have used the software. Take a look at our existing achievements here: https://steamcommunity.com/stats/384300/achievements
We have seen a lot of users asking for more achievements to be added to CPUCores. We agree, this could be a fun way to add some extra excitement to what is already an extremely exciting software (haha) :)
We have thought of some potential new achievements and we would love to run these ideas by our users, you, as well as seek feedback on what achievement updates you would like to see.
New CPUCores Potential Achievements:
- Increase the number of "Timed Achievements" to include: 1250 Hours, 1500 Hours, 2500 Hours, and 3000 Hours used, and possibly even more.
- Create new achievements based upon your unique processor/CPU information. For example, an achievement for the type of processor you have (Intel vs AMD) and such.
- Create more hardware-specific achievements, such as one for having 1 Hard Drive, another achievement for having 2 Hard Drives, and more.
What are your thoughts? What sorts of achievements would you like us to add? Please let us know by posting your thoughts on this forum topic here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/384300/discussions/0/2980782118457621179/

- Improved the Game Probe Detection (BETA) by modifying the internal mechanics of how game scanning and activation/pausing work. This should improve handling of CPUCores when pausing it's operation while a game/program you've listed is still running and needs CPUCores to be set to the "pause" position.
- Added support for Steam Launch Parameters! This enables you to set game-specific launch parameters for Steam, of which CPUCores' Steam integration will handle correctly.

Original postCPUCores was built to do 1 thing and 1 thing only: Increase your FPS!
Version 1.9.9 has been released: New "Start Random Game" Feature!
New CPUCores Updates:
- New "Start Random Game" Feature!
- Internal Optimization of Game vs Non-Game listing
As a fun new update, I've added a "Start Random Game" feature to CPUCores. This feature will will enable you a 1-button click to start up any game, randomly, giving you the ability to truly randomize which game you're about to play.
This new feature will allow you to explore games that you may have ignored over time and breathe some extra life into your otherwise ever-expanding Steam library.
This feature came to be out of the numerous requests I've found online of people wanted to randomly be able to select a game. These requests seem to come from people who a) Have large Steam libraries, or b) Who have games ignored for years, and even c) Who do live Twitch/Youtube streams and want an additional way to interact with their gaming communities.

Original postCPUCores was built to do 1 thing and 1 thing only: Increase your FPS!
Version 1.9.9 has been released: New "Start Random Game" Feature!
New CPUCores Updates:
- New "Start Random Game" Feature!
- Internal Optimization of Game vs Non-Game listing
As a fun new update, I've added a "Start Random Game" feature to CPUCores. This feature will will enable you a 1-button click to start up any game, randomly, giving you the ability to truly randomize which game you're about to play.
This new feature will allow you to explore games that you may have ignored over time and breathe some extra life into your otherwise ever-expanding Steam library.
This feature came to be out of the numerous requests I've found online of people wanted to randomly be able to select a game. These requests seem to come from people who a) Have large Steam libraries, or b) Who have games ignored for years, and even c) Who do live Twitch/Youtube streams and want an additional way to interact with their gaming communities.

Prior Recent CPUCores Updates:
- Internal efficiency update - slightly better performance!
- Restructure of top menu of CPUCores - better DLC options!
- Added a "More By Us" button to show things we are working on!

- A slight tweak has been made to CPUCore's internal engine to increase FPS when Task Manager is enabled.
- Games should load a bit more smoothly when launching CPUCores.
- A bug has been found with a small portion of users who, upon starting CPUCores, don't see the actual program on their screen. This has since been resolved!
- A major bug with the CPUCores Service has been found. The Service has since been removed and it has reverted back to the original and STABLE "core" behind CPUCores.
- A bug affecting PUGB (Playerunknowns Battleground) with CPUCores has been resolved. You can now use CPUCores to stablize PUBG FPS once again!
- A major bug affecting upgrading/installing CPUCores has been resolved!
- CPUCores is once again very stable!
- New Achievements! CPUCores now has new time-based achievements. This will trigger based on the amount of time you've used the software. Note: This requires your profile to (temporarily) be made public for the achievement to register. Note #2: There are fun things planned for these achievements including... CONTESTS!
- CPUCores now has shortcuts to a Steam game's forums + Steam page directly inside the CPUCores application. Simply click the icon next to the game and you'll be taken right to the Steam page/forum!
- A bug with clicking the "Grid" option in CPUCores when initially scanning for games has now been fixed. You must now wait for the game scan to complete before enabling "Grid" mode.
- The "Constrain Web Browsers" option has been tweaked!
- CPUCores now has a custom DLC "System Hardware Analyzer" !
- AMD Ryzen CPU Support! CPUCores has been updated to now work with AMD's latest processors. The software will now automatically detect and configure itself to work with your AMD (or Intel) CPU.

More Prior Recent CPUCores Updates:
- Favorites List has been added! You can now flag a game as a favorite and sort it to the top of your Steam games list!
- Real-time Process List has been improved! You can now scan your system's processes and pick one to "CPUCores It" in a much more streamlined fashion!
- Supports Steam Libraries > 1000 games! CPUCores Steam game detection has been streamlined to better support users with HUGE Steam libraries!
- Various minor bug fixes including a license box pop-up, Game Probe Detection auto-starting when it shouldn't, and more.
- Modified the method in which CPUCores communicates with Steam to validate your purchase. This should address the rare bug with a Steam user encountering the "Enter your license key" message from CPUCores. A big thanks to everybody for your patience while we worked on resolving this issue!
- Improved the Game Probe Detection (BETA) by modifying the internal mechanics of how game scanning and activation/pausing work. This should improve handling of CPUCores when pausing it's operation while a game/program you've listed is still running and needs CPUCores to be set to the "pause" position.
- Added support for Steam Launch Parameters! This enables you to set game-specific launch parameters for Steam, of which CPUCores' Steam integration will handle correctly.
- Modified how CPUCores shows up in Steam for "Time played" due to Steam's internal API better handling of non-game software. Your hours accrued using CPUCores should now be better reflected, versus the past only showing often 0.2 hours despite potentially using it for hundreds of hours.
- Streamlined the software to make it FASTER and better supporting games which use launchers as well as non-Steam games!
- Added better support for Windows 10 multi-user environments and custom User Account Security
- Added a Windows Notification Icon which has several options including the ability to reset the window position of CPUCores. This can be advantageous for people who have multiple monitors and frequently add/remove monitors which can sometimes cause a program such as CPUCores to appear on a "phantom monitor".
