I use game booster for my gaming alot of the time now, but I used it for age of empires, and now sometimes (I'm not even running hot when it does it) I will just all of the sudden lock up then shut down, just like that, in just 3 seconds, I shut down when it locks up
I AM NOT RUNNING HOT, I have overheating problems with my computer because of the fan being defective, but I checked into that, I even shut down my avg for gaming (I reboot and turn it back on when I am done playing) but since I started to use game booster beta for this particular game, even though it dont really need it, It helps with the overheating problem, I don't even run above 150f (I only run hotter if I've been using it for a couple of days) I have reinstalled gamebooster, I have reinstalled the game, I keep crashing randomly, I'm afraid to tear up my system, why am I crashing? I hope this is just a coinsidance, but NONE of my other games crash like THIS, if they crash, its to the desk top, but I never crash, not on old games, this game only requires 32 mbs of ram, I am MORE than capable of running it, I just use game booster to keep the system resources in check. what is wrong with this? Please help me. I have been playing this game perfect for months, now it just started when I used gamebooster for the first time with it.
I have bandicam, I'll snap a pic of it with that, tonight, though, I have crashed 6 times now, all day, now its even on the internet that its crashing, also, its NOT showing me a temp, the member who commented after you, I think I might have or something I'll show you a snap shot of it tomorrow, when I can actually keep in on for longer than 10 minutes, sometimes I can play for several hours, and I think its heat related, I run hot because my fan is going out, it HAS crashed because of heat, but never like this, I stopped using it thinking maybe that running is actually hurting it by making it run hotter, but thats not sounding right... I haven't gotten bad crashes like this, and I can't take a snap shot when the problem happens, because the computer SHUTS OFF, so I think its heat related, but I will show you what I have tomorrow morining when she's sat overnight and can cool down, I am actually trying not to crash while writing this message.
I have disabled the avg firewall, and the bandicam/ firefox, they were only open because I was showing you them, I don't have them running, and in the case of the last one, I don't have a temp reading, I USED too, but not now, I think the firewall was overheating my system, now all I have running form avg is the watch dog service, thanks in advance, I am not sure what else to do, and I believe I did everything you asked for, also, you said run age of empires 2, if I run it, it starts up, BUT I can go strait back to desktop to show you what it does, if thats what you meant, thanks
I downloaded "pcbooster" and that sped it up alot, I turned off the fire wall from avg, I'm running default, BUT I still have the online safety thing on, so I'm safe while surfing the web, and since I did all that, I have gamebooster beta 3.5 TURNED OFF, for the moment, and online, while typing this message, I have 351 mbs of ram left, this is the most I have ever seen on this computer while online, while off the internet, I had 88% of my ram left, thats 407 mbs of ram left, and when I tried the game again, I got it to run with out crashes, I'm in front of an ac when I play, and I also used gamebooster to defrag the actually games, so I'm amazed that this worked, before I used gamebooster to defrag the games, I still lagged, now that i am no longer lagging, this is the best I have ever had this computer run before, thanks guys, problem solved, I think that with everything running, it just got too hot, and when I ran gamebooster on top of everything else, the temp just jumped, so thanks for the help, I had gotten some ideas about this, I solved the smart defrag problem, I solved the temp problem, the virus problem, the lag problems and even the internet connection problem where I had very little mbs for speed, thanks Iobit, I think I'm done tinkering with this old thing, I think this is the best I can get her now, :mrgreen: yall have a great day, I'll tell yall the new specs when I get my new gaming pc and see what I need to download to keep it safe, bye guys :>
When I open a game app on my S10, Game Booster's notification area appears. When I press on it, I cannot disable it. Game Booster displays a notification, and I cannot disable it by choosing 'notification settings'. There is no slider or button for enabling or disabling. Do I have to keep receiving notifications from this thing (whatever it is) that I am not interested in? That's what malware does instead of something useful.
The only thing I want is for it to stop.
There is no difference between disabling or enabling the 'game launcher', according to Google. There is a difference between the two, in my opinion.
Although Samsung wants to help us with the software they pre-install, everything should be able to be turned off if the user so chooses. It had to be done on Windows by Microsoft. Apple is under pressure. Is it necessary to start a movement to get the EU to ban Samsung from forcing us to use things we do not want?
A Samsung employee is unlikely to comment on this issue.
@viller23 hello, try this: access Settings / Applications and look for the Gamebooster app, in the options, in the three points above -right, perform Uninstall updates. Deactivate automatic updates, so that it does not update. In this way the app will remain deactivated. Greetings.
@viller23 @cavellix: If you open the Game Launcher app > Tap the 3 lines in the bottom right > Game Booster > Block during game > Notifications, and toggle this on, this should prevent Game Booster from sending notifications while you're in a game. Let me know if this helps.
The program is fully configurable to your needs and requirements and optimisation your system and running game booster just involves clicking one button for each and reverting just needs one click of a button.
I've been using it for the past three years. IMO, I think it may be of some help on lower end systems, where you're trying to scrape every last bit of performance, but on higher end systems, I'm not sure. I did do a short test shortly after I installed it, but TBH, I don't remember seeing any noticeable improvement. I still have it activated though.
"Game Booster" software programs claim they can improve gaming performance with a single click, putting your PC into "Game Mode" and allocating all your resources to games. But do they actually work?
PC gaming is different from console gaming. Consoles run a stripped-down operating system optimized for games, but PCs run a general-purpose operating system like Windows that may be doing other things in the background.
In other words, the program allows you to select a game and launch it through the game booster utility. When you do, the Game Booster will automatically close background programs running on your computer, theoretically allocating more of your computer's resources to the game. You could also just toggle "Game Mode" on and launch the game yourself.
This "one-click optimization" is the core of a Game Booster program, although they also contain other features. For example, they may show you which of your drivers are outdated, although you generally only have to keep your graphics drivers updated, and graphics drivers automatically check for updates these days.
Razer Game Booster also allows you to see what processes will be automatically closed when Game Mode is enabled. These processes are restored when you leave Game Mode. You're free to customize the processes you want to close and the ones you want to leave enabled.
Interestingly enough, the benchmark was actually slightly slower with Game Mode enabled. The results here are well within the margin of error, however. Game Mode didn't slow anything down, but it also didn't speed anything up. Game Mode didn't do much of anything at all.
With Game Mode enabled, our results were actually a touch lower across the board. This isn't because Game Mode did anything wrong. Instead, it's likely that background tasks were using resources more during the Game Mode runs. Game Mode tries to minimize such interruptions, but Windows is a complicated operating system with many moving parts and there's no way to stop everything that may happen in the background. Game Mode tries, but just can't deliver.
Note that these benchmark results won't apply to every computer. Because of the way Razer Game Booster works, people who have a hundred programs running in the background will see a noticeable improvement while people who only run a few background programs that are light on resources won't see an improvement. These benchmark results give us an idea of how much "Game Mode" can actually improve performance on a typical computer with a reasonable amount of background programs, but none that are heavy on resources.
A Game Booster program just does something you can already do yourself. For example, if you have a BitTorrent client running in the background, downloading files and using your hard drive, this will increase game load times as the game will have to compete with the BitTorrent client for disk access. A Game Booster program that automatically closed the BitTorrent client when you launched a game would indeed increase game load times, but you could also just speed things up by closing the BitTorrent client or pausing the download yourself when you start playing games.
On a modern computer, programs running in the background are generally not using a huge amount of resources and are generally sitting at 0% CPU utilization while not doing anything. You can check this yourself by opening the Task Manager -- you probably won't see many background programs sucking up CPU time. If you do, you should do something about them.
We should also note that such tools may often offer features that can be useful to even more knowledgeable users. For example, Razer Game Booster offers a FRAPS-like Screen Capture feature for recording your screen. However, Game Mode itself doesn't seem very useful.
