Resource Consumption in GTA V

Welcome to GTA V Process Utilization! This program prioritizes processes and closes unnecessary services/processes without affecting your everyday programs. This program is fully automated, meaning you don't need to interact with it after running it. My processor is an i7 3770k 4 GHz OC and I have 16 GB of RAM. In these comparison images, I opened many processor-intensive programs and other junk programs to test the performance difference.

For usage/installation and important information, please read the Readme.rtf file inside the archive.

Both Retail/Steam versions are supported and you shouldn't be banned online for using this as it doesn't modify Grand Theft Auto V files.

You might notice a significant difference in loading time.

ChangeLog:

1.1.2: Guide added for the retail version to ensure it works correctly. My apologies, it's difficult to test without owning a copy of the retail version. REMEMBER TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.

1.1.1: A failsafe has been implemented in case anything goes wrong. It deletes the logs of GTA V Process Utilization if it detects the incorrect version of the game starting (Retail/Steam).

1.1: Tips added to the Readme.rtf file, some typing errors fixed, and inclusion of some more common update processes to shut down while you're playing the game. I believe GTA V Process Utilization has progressed enough that it finally reached version 1.1.

1.0.6: Fixed process resetting, ending a few more services/processes. Changing minimum CPU state for consistent gameplay and some tweaks to fix stability issues, resulting in overall improvement. I have included my settings.xml which is the perfect balance for graphics and FPS. If you use an NVIDIA graphics card, turn on MFAA for best picture quality.

1.0.5: A few more services/processes to stop, and the console window now has a title. It will check if you have launched the retail version previously and skip the Steam launch. Users reported it annoying that it opens Steam all the time, here you go. Note: The first time you open the .bat file, it will try to launch Steam as it hasn't logged the previous retail version launch success.

1.0.4: Stopping services to lower the amount of RAM used by Windows (requires admin), small tweaks, and compression in another .rar format for compatibility with older versions of WinRAR. Fixed compatibility issues with Windows 10. Changing power settings to high performance for better performance on laptops. Changed how it works for simpler installation. It now automatically detects if you have the retail/Steam version.

1.0.3: Fixed a small line of code with added 64-bit support, added more priorities.

1.0.2: New name, fixed some typos, added more priorities from user requests and more for a wider range of common user support, updated readme for clearer installation.

1.0.1: Changed the files back from .exe to .bat file for Rappos approval :I (Wanted the icon on by default, instead of making a shortcut :/ )

Please report any problems to me.
