Setting affinity

[tricky]

I regularly free up a couple of CPU cores when rendering so I can faff about on the internet. I've noticed with an animation (being rendered locally) that set affinity resets back to 100 CPU cores for each frame. Has this always happened or is it just in the latest VRay?

Yes I see the same thing happening when using my local machine for DR. Makes sense since each frame is a new job so the process is restarting. Maybe it depends if you have DR set to restart after each render or not.. I know mine is set to restart renders on render end.

I usually just tick low thread priority when rendering, and can use my local machine for anything else I need.

This isn't DR though - just a straight series of frame renders using my own machine.

Yes - I keep forgetting that!

Save your maxstart with this and then you can forget about it
