Mumble CPU priority

When I go into task manager to change mumble cpu priority from high to normal, it says access is denied. Any way I can fix this? It defaults to high for some reason...

this probably isn't a good idea (in the sense that mumble probably has a reason for doing it), but go to your search bar, type in taskmgr.exe and then run as administrator and then change it.

Also, you should be able to unset it from high like this:

You need to click the "Show Processes from All Users" button on the bottom of Task Manager. It essentially raises your privies to the level where your access will not be denied. I'd drop it to normal, and raise tf2 above that.

A simpler way of opening task manager is ctrl+shift+esc, for anyone who doesn't know.

But does that run as admin?

If you Show All Processes it will. I think he was just stating a fun-fact.

I usually just right click the task bar and click on task manager. Also I wanted to do this because I'm having major issues with mumble where it just stops receiving and transmitting audio without crashing or notifying me in any way. Reconnecting to the server fixes it but it's a pain in the ass. Apparently it's a tcp/udp packet issue whatever that means. I know other people are having the same issues and one possible solution is to go into settings>network and checking "Force TCP mode".

TCP and UDP are the 2 different methods used for sending packets (aka information). Basically, UDP doesn't ensure data ends up where it should, it just sends it and hopes for the best. TCP requires response messages, to make sure packets not only arrive, but arrive in the right order.

So as you'd expect, UDP should be faster, although not good if you are having dropped packets. I don't know what kind of timing difference that might relate to in mumble though.

Even with forcing TCP when dropping packets, the packets come so delayed and end up sounding awful so it's still better to go UDP.
