CPUCores was built to do 1 thing and 1 thing only: Increase your FPS!
Version 1.7.4 has been released - Introducing our automatic Game Probe Detection!
CPUCores has been updated to version 1.7.4 and introducing our automatic Game Probe Detection!
CPUCores has been updated with a brand new feature, currently in BETA, which we are calling our Game Probe Detection!
This new feature will allow you to input the .EXE of any game(s). Upon entering the game's .EXE file, you may then minimize CPUCores and then launch your game via whatever means you may have.
After inputting your game, CPUCores will "probe" your system continually until the game is launched. Once CPUCores detects the game has having been launched, CPUCores will automatically engage it's "START GAME" button and thus do everything that CPUCores is configured to do! Once you are finished gaming, simply close your game and click the "STOP CPUCORES" button.
This new update includes supports for games that require web-based launchers such as Battlefield 1, as well as classic game launchers including Battle . net, as well as any customer game launcher such as SKSE, F4SE, etc.
I hope you enjoy this new feature! As it is currently in BETA and is being enhanced, please report any bugs/ideas about this new feature directly to our Steam forums.
Enjoy!!
