After launching the game, use alt-tab to return to the desktop. Open the task manager, then click the details tab and find "TheForest.exe". Right-click on this entry, and then click "set affinity". In this dialog, uncheck the "All Processors" box, and then check the first 4 even-numbered CPUs: e.g. 0, 2, 4, 6. Click OK, and return to the game. Performance can improve dramatically after applying these changes. |
