Why would I lie about this or report something that is incorrect? I have nothing to gain or lose. By all means, somebody else with Win 7 x64, give it a try and see what you get. It doesn't matter what you got in XP because that is not what I'm using. Again, completely different animal. Your OS is almost a decade old, it is going to be different than Win 7.

Again... If you didn't reboot for the non-"game" test, or disable explorer, networking and wifi for the "game" test, you didn't get an accurate reading - bye.

The OP in this thread is a god amongst mere mortals. Please marry me. I will have your children. I will dedicate the rest of my natural life to your absolute happiness. I love you.

Seriously, this thread needs a sticky. I am beside myself. For 6 months I've been battling latency and pops/clicks at 288 samples on my HP laptop. Nothing I did worked and I tried what I thought was everything. Installed this prelauncher and I'm at 96 samples clean as a whistle. Game changer. This thread literally saved my life. Thank you. I am ready to rock on now.

um, i just played guitar through an amp sim at 64 samples for the first time ever. my entire body is throbbing with joy and i was only able to sit still and do it for 2 minutes... but it worked and i am absolutely beside myself.

fan-f**king-tastic.

What OS and CPU are you using? 32 or 54 bit? I'm just curious. I'd like to get a consensus on how good this thing is, and with what hardware/software.

I've got an HP laptop with an i5 cpu (2.26 ghz, i think). Typical Windows 7 x64 HP OEM install which I've tried to cleanup as much as possible, but still the latency issues. Tried this prelauncher and I went from 256 samples with the occassional noise burst no matter what I did to a comfortable 96 samples which I can drive down even further but it's not needed really. I'm pretty damn happy right now.

Awesome! That confirms that some people are having success with Windows 7 64-bit. Thanks for sharing the good news!

I still haven't had a chance to try it and see how it compares. Maybe this weekend.

@Everyone who reads this: If you try GamePreLauncher, please post your successes/failures, along with OS and CPU/RAM info. I'm curious to see what everyone is getting with this program.

Does you folks disable HPET?

I don't have wifi on my machine just a wired network. I will try game without networking. Only thing that sucks is that some of the challenge response stuff won't work because your hardware id changes.

Games Prelauncher is awesome. Thanks for the tip! I was running Orion with ASIO4All through my laptops onboard souncard at 23ms latency. I can now run it at 3ms. Also, Mathematica, a programming environment that I use, runs 3x as fast and can import larger files due to the increased RAM available. Amazing stuff. I shall be recommending this to the folks at work who do hardcore image processing and molecular modelling.

I've tested two systems:

Vista 32-bit Core2 Duo 2.26Ghz 4Gb RAM
Windows 7 64-bit Pentium IV HT 3.2GHz 2Gb RAM (HT = hyperthreading)

As far as I'm aware, the program will just stop functioning after the 16 days-

I find Gamebooster works fine - it can disable services just as well as this does and you can set it up to disable and then restore with one click what you want. Plus it's free with an enhanced version for just $10 - can't see what this one costs on the site.

I've used Gamebooster for a while too, but it seems that GamePreLauncher may actually make a system perform better. The cost is $15. I'd be interested in your before and after comparisons: Gamebooster vs GamePreLauncher.
