Also if you have more than 6 CPU cores you need to disable the extra ones or the game will refuse to launch, it only showed a black window that would eventually close at least for me.
Had to use msconfig to do it, be aware you will need to reboot everytime you change the processor count.
Has someone ever tested Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit and set ProcessorCountLie = 6 (click Parameters button to set 6 cores)? I have i7-8750h (6 cores) so the game still works fine for me and I can't test the fix myself but it could be a much more handful solution than disabling CPU cores from BIOS or MSConfig...
Once set the Compatibility Fix it will automatically work for this game only.
This should do the trick: https://i.ibb.co/DRFhnm9/image.png
See my other guide on how to download, install and use MS ACT, if you don't know what am I talking about:

If you need help with MS ACT just write here...
Can confirm that this does not work. I have a i9-9900k which has 8 cores. Lowering it to 6 in BIOS/msconfig works. But when i did the potential fix you provided, it did not work, even with a single core. I know i did it right because before i tried the fix, my LP2 would use 90% of the CPU when it refuses to boot for whatever reason. with 8 cores now it only uses around 10% when i set it to 1 core.
Anyway, i never knew of this program. thank you, will come in handy for games like far cry 3, or other games that has issues with too many cores.
There's another fix to test from MS ACT: try to enable also the fix SingleProcAffinity (drastic solution but should work).
...or this other kind of CPU affinity fix in my other guide for NFC: Hot Pursuit

hoping the game won't block modified exe.
Last but not least http://affinitychanger.sourceforge.net/
I tried the first link, but same result. My guess is the .exe needs to be patched to bypass the CPU check or something. as this is the only MT framework game that has this issue.
I just tested imagecfg.exe to patch the game on my system and it looks like the game has some checksum check, probably to prevent multi-player stupid cheaters, so yes the fix used for NFC:Hot Pursuit won't work in this case. Try the other two workarounds mentioned above.
I did try the singleCoreAffinity on MS act, that didn't work, however i didn't try WinAFC tool, seemed like quite a lot of stuff judging by the site (lol)
i did try imagecfg.exe and it would still boot, no errors though, just a black screen , maybe it does give you a error after successfully booting, but i didn't try it with 6 cores, but i wouldn't be surprised. I know when i tried to mod the FOV from 50 vertically to 68 with hex edit on LP1 colonies, it would always crash the game upon boot, but using a GFWL bypass .dll made it work just fine with the FOV edit. Another reason why GFWL sucks a$$.
It's only a issue if you have a CPU with 8+ cores (or linux, i think). Installing the game isn't too it's even faster if you just wanna play solo, just use a GFWL bypass if so
SingleCoreAffinity should work though (even if it's a bit drastic to limit the game to one processor only). Are you sure you did apply the MS ACT correctly, saved the DB and installed it?
Pretty sure, after i changed it to singlecoreaffinity, i saved the DB and installed it, removed my old DB's incase of conflicts and booted the game. Tried both DX9 & DX11. I'm 99% i did it right as well, because like i said earlier, LP2 with 6+ cores always use a ♥♥♥♥ ton of CPU usage when it refuses to boot (90% for me) but with the tool, it only shows 8% on both modes.
Hopefully capcom runs out of GFWL codes so they'll be forced to switch from GFWL to steamworks because microsoft doesn't give out GFWL codes anymore. Very high chance they'll fix the bug with 6 cores as well
... in the meanwhile there is only one more thing to try: WinAFC 3rd party tool (you have to define the exe + set cores and save them just once, then you'll have to run WinAFC before you start this game).
Was a bit confusing to set up, but i've tried it just now, but sadly, the game still won't boot when i tried setting it to 2 cores with winAFC, although there's a lot of things you can do win winAFC, so who knows, but i'm not really experienced with this kind of stuff with that program
If this is true it seems the issue is even worse than I thought (and probably MS ACT fix was correct at least...). In this case we can only hope for an official fix.
