make GTA V launch at high priority every time with no hassle

[germanboo hispanic]

Been working on a way to set the launch options of the game to try to run a batch script which sets the priority of GTAV.exe to high, the launcher to idle, and all subprocesses to idle...
WITHOUT sacrificing conveniency

I'd like to run the game with optimized process priority without having to alt tab out of big picture.

here is the optimiZer script (Z is fancy ;) )

timeout 60
wmic process where name="GTA5.exe" CALL setpriority "high priority"
wmic process where name="gtavlauncher.exe" CALL setpriority "idle"
wmic process where name="subprocess.exe" CALL setpriority "idle"

And here are the launch options i've tried:


& start "" "C:\ (path to gta v folder)\optimiZer.bat"
start "" "C:\ (path to gta v folder)\optimiZer.bat"
start C:\optimiZer.bat
C:\optimiZer.bat
"C:\ (path to gta v folder)\optimiZer.bat"
& "C:\ (path to gta v folder) \optimiZer.bat"


To be clear:

I'd like to run the game at high priority by going to it on steam and launching it.

I don't want to have to alt tab out of big picture mode and break the immersion just to run my game at a decent framerate (it's the difference between 48 FPS and 70 on very high/ultra)

I also don't want to sacrifice the ability to easily see my game statistics whenever I launch the game.

This matters to me. Things like this are the thing that scare people away from PC.

I want my games to launch as smoothly and conveniently as they would on an Xbone or even a wii u.
As a member of the PC master race (and windows 10 user) I want launching my games to be the least immersion breaking experience possible.

You miss the point
my batch scripts work perfectly
but I want to run them without having to alt+tab out of big picture mode

[germanboo hispanic]

You still aren't getting the point
I want to run the game from big picture mode
I can already launch it from a bat or even a nice re-icon'd shortcut to a bat file from my desktop and all that happens lol

I want to be able to:
1) login to steam and open Big Picture
2) navigate to GTA V in my library
3) see the achievements and screenshots and stats sitting conveniently there (no shortcutting through steam to the game again)
4) tap A on my controller and have the game launch... IN HIGH PRIORITY

Hoping you might be able to figure something out
