I should add that you can go all the way up to "taskset -c 0-15" as mentioned in @jeffpeng's post; whether that number represents cores or threads depends on whether you have hyperthreading available and turned on on your cpu. My machine's a sixteen core 32 thread machine, so 0-15 works, 0-16 does not. Also note that if you want it doesn't have to start at zero; "taskset -c 1-16" will work just fine.

I'd also like to add that I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 over the weekend, and it resulted in a major performance improvement, which says that there are libraries going on in there that have seen significant improvements between 19.04 with all fixes and 20.04. Worth looking into... if you happen to be running Ubuntu

Thanks! I'm at 6 cores + hyperthreading, so 0-11 works for me. Appreciate the upgrade tip, but I'm on Arch and compulsively update several times a day... It's a bad habit. Performance has been good when the game runs.

That completely worked!

Here's what I had to do:

mkdir ~/src

cd ~/src

git clone git@github.com:z0z0z/mf-install.git

WINEPREFIX="/home/<uid>/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/305620/pfx" PROTON="/home/<uid>/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton 5.0" ./mf-install.sh -proton

This installs the fix you mention into the various right places for it to work.

Furthermore, due to a known bug in wine wrt microsoft's media implementation I had to restrict the number of cores the game will run on. I did this by inserting the following in the "Set Launch Options" field on the game in Steam: "taskset -c 1-8 %command%"

However, I need to do that because I have more than eight cores in this machine and the media stuff cacks out when you have too many cores. If you're not running on a sixteen core processor you won't need to do this.

Thanks a lot for the pointer, @zfp! It is working now! Much appreciated!

This worked for me as well. You're a lifesaver, thanks a ton!
