Apps / CS2 game booster

Everything else, on hold.

Name: Redline
Author: Tenziki Studio

Redline pauses the background apps and Windows services you don’t need while you play Counter-Strike 2, then puts every one of them back when you’re done. Each change is recorded before it’s made, so Restore always knows what to undo.

What it does

Redline

01
Boost, then Restore
One click pauses apps and stops services that aren’t needed to play; another puts them all back. Windows itself, GPU and audio drivers, Steam, FACEIT and keyboard and mouse software are never touched. CS2 is raised to high priority, even if you launch it after boosting.
02
Preview first
See exactly which apps and services a boost would touch before anything changes, and keep whatever you need running in one click: voice chat, music, your peripherals’ software.
03
No input lag
Apps with global hotkeys or push-to-talk can make every key press wait while they’re paused. Redline tests the keyboard after pausing each app, and anything that holds keys up is resumed at once and kept running.
04
Measure, don’t guess
Records CS2’s frame times with Intel PresentMon, once normally and once boosted, and compares average FPS, 1% and 0.1% lows and frame-time spikes. Gaps under 3% are reported as no clear difference.
05
Safe to undo
Every change is written to disk before it’s made, so a crash or a power cut mid-boost can still be undone on the next start. Restore only undoes what’s still in effect, and anything it can’t restore is kept for a retry.
06
Logs you can send
Everything Redline does is written to a daily log file, crashes included, and one click opens the folder. Remove app data deletes everything Redline stored, so deleting the exe uninstalls it.

Under the hood

App: WPF on .NET 8, shipped as one self-contained exe; nothing to install and no .NET runtime needed
Requires: 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, run as administrator
Measuring: Intel PresentMon 2.x. Redline only ever runs an Intel-signed copy from a folder only administrators can change
Storage: The safety record lives in an administrator-only folder; your protected list and logs stay on the PC
Tests: 181 automated tests run on every change
