Create a batch file inside your Everquest Folder (for this example it assumes C:\EQLite).

Call the batch file A_Run_Everquest.bat

Copy paste the following code into the batch file

@@ECHO OFF

REM This only works up to Minimum of 1 and Maximum of 8 Cores
REM It picks a random CPU core between 1 and the Maximum and runs Everquest on that CPU core

setlocal
SET _AppFolder=C:\EQLite
SET _AppName=EVERQUEST
SET _AppEXE=eqgame.exe
SET _AppParams=patchme
SET /a _MaxCPU=8
SET /a _rand=%RANDOM%*%_MaxCPU%/32768+1 
SET _affinity=0x01
IF %_rand% EQU 2 SET _affinity=0x02
IF %_rand% EQU 3 SET _affinity=0x04
IF %_rand% EQU 4 SET _affinity=0x08
IF %_rand% EQU 5 SET _affinity=0x10
IF %_rand% EQU 6 SET _affinity=0x20
IF %_rand% EQU 7 SET _affinity=0x40
IF %_rand% EQU 8 SET _affinity=0x80

cmd.exe /c start "%_AppName%" /affinity %_affinity% "%_AppFolder%\%_AppEXE%" %_AppParams%
endlocal
  • Edit _AppFolder=C:\EQLite\ change this to the folder path that you installed everquest into
  • Edit _MaxCPU=8 change this to the number of CPU cores you have (you can find this in Task Manager)
  • Change your short cut from C:\EQLite\eqgame.exe patchme to C:\EQLite\A_Run_Everquest.bat

Ever time Everquest runs it will pick a random CPU core to run it on, this should over time extend the life of your cpu.
