Forgot to mention this earlier, what does it do exactly?

I mean, been running this grand campaign on the Japan side and no multi core support and idk if that will do any good. Only have deepColor and resolution switch at the launcher. Using 3GHz, eight cores here and its Intel i7 Series CPU.

Windows tends to hog Core 1, and other utilities the run in the background often use Core 2. Any Core higher than 2 should avoid slowdowns in processing time. You might not notice the difference on screen scrolling since the GPU is usually handling that, but turn execution should be faster.

Alright thanks, i will try it out and see if i see any improvement. I noticed when the combat or system is trying to resolve around the map, noticed the map has some tearing effects when moving around.
