[Problem solved] Bionic Commando Rearmed only works with SMT disabled.

[*KA]

The Bionic Command Rearmed game only works if I disable smt or 4 cores on ryzen master, I think it should not support more than 8 cores and my cpu is a ryzen 7 2700, and the game doesn't work with smt active.

O jogo Bionic Command Rearmed só funciona caso eu desative o smt ou 4 núcleos no ryzen master, eu acho que ele não deve suportar mais de 8 núcleos e meu cpu é um ryzen 7 2700, e o jogo não funciona com o smt ativo ou com todos os núcleos ativos.

I resolved using this tutorial https://robpol86.com/imagecfg.html
This program alters the game's executable and causes it to operate with a limited number of cores. Just create a .bat and put the command, run as adm and it will change the executable.
Simply place imagecfg.exe in the same folder as the .exe file to be modified.

For those who wish I uploaded the already modified bcr.exe to use only 4 cores.

Usage
ImageCFG will work from any directory, but for ease of use it can be placed in% systemroot% system32 (or C: Windowssystem32 or C: WindowsSysWOW64 (thanks chris.xudo333) if system32 doesn't work) and% systemroot% system32dllcache (or C: Windowssystem32dllcache). Doing so will make imagecfg a system command (run it from anywhere in any cmd window or the run dialog). This article assumes you have done so.
The -u option sets a specified executable to only run in uni-processor mode on multi-processor systems. This is probably optional but I run it anyways.
The -a option sets a process affinity mask (hexadecimal value) to the specified executable, so that it always runs using the specified CPU. You can also add up the bits to set multiple CPUs (thanks LigH). Examples (hex = decimal = CPU):

0x01 = 1 = CPU0
0x02 = 2 = CPU1
0x04 = 4 = CPU2
0x08 = 8 = CPU3
0x10 = 16 = CPU4
0x20 = 32 = CPU5
0x40 = 64 = CPU6
0x80 = 128 = CPU7
0x0f = 15 = CPU0, CPU1, CPU2, and CPU3 (1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 15)

Examples
The following examples will use UT99 from Steam to fix the speed issues I have been experiencing on my FX-60 (AMD dual core) computer running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
This first command is probably optional. It sets the exe to use only one CPU:
imagecfg -u "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ steamapps \ common \ unreal tournament \ System \ unrealtournament.exe"

This is the important one. It sets the exe to use CPU0:
imagecfg -a 0x1 "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ steamapps \ common \ unreal tournament \ System \ unrealtournament.exe"

wow this worked .... it's a shame that we are the ones having to patch a game rather than the company selling it actually fixing this.

[m_train1]

@Wuss912 that is the beauty of PC gaming. You learn a lot in process

[RIP George Wendt]

Wow that actually let me load the game, it then crashed cause wrong physx version, but that's a huge improvement. I already beat this on PlayStationNow though, so I don't really wanna go back to it. But great job getting it to work man, really great job.

[*KA]

I am using physx 9.19.0218.

[Wuss912]

still dosen't fix the hacking not working on 4k monitors.... but you can lower the resolution

[*KA]

The modification was for gaming to work on processors with more than 8 logic cores. I have never tested this game at a resolution higher than 1920x1080.

Incredible, been wanting to replay this game for yeeeeears.

FINALLY a post that works.

Thank you so much dude.

[Royce du Pont]

This worked for me as well! Thank you for doing all of the work.

Think you could do this fix for Lost Planet 2?

Game is dead. You fix it. Welcome to the world of PC gaming.

Worked a treat, many thanks
