Configuring the Real-Time Subsystem (RTSS)

RTX64 Control Panel provides several options for configuring the RTSS Subsystem. You can change internal system behavior, set memory allocation behavior, configure the RTSS watchdog timer, and choose a method for handling exceptions.

NOTE: Some RTX64 Control Panel settings require Windows Administrator privileges.
