  4. Select "New database" under "Custom Databases".
  5. Right click on "New Database", then go to "Create New" > "Application Fix".
  6. Provide the full path of godfather2.exe and give it a name of choosing.
  7. Skip past the compatibility mode options.
  8. In compatibility fixes select ProcessorCountLieForHybridCPU.
  9. Save the database from the Database menu and give it a name when prompted.
  10. Select File > Install. Then search for the .sdb file that you had previously saved and select it. The fix will now automatically be applied whenever the game is launched.
