RECOMMENDING FOR OPTIMIZING - Optimizer Mod to Help Memory Leaks/Stutters/Etc

[neal121]

The devs are taking their sweet ass time to optimize their game - I have noticed lots of people getting pissed off in the forums and in reviews about having good computers and the game not being optimized. Full of stuttering, freezing, crashing, etc.

A player recommended mods to help optimize the game. This is by no means a solid fix but its a great temp fix. Of course I am not trying to shove this down your throat - but I am suggesting it has a great way to help make the game run better until they patch the game.

I can play this game on any graphics setting - and they all run bad. Even if i put it on low to make the game ugly as hell and I would still get the EXACT same issues.

I even refunded the game because I was angry about how it ran. I got it again (lol) after I learned of ways to better optimizer the game.

Release of this game... Its like being reminded how bad The Last of Us Part 1 for PC was when it came out....

Sure, I am running a MSI Stealth gaming laptop with RTX 4070 - but all the games ive played I run at minimum of High overall quality. Sometimes Ultra. So its not like the laptop is not geared enough to run the game.

I have to HIGHLY recommend this mod (there are 2 popular ones on nexusmods but this one seems to be best).

What have I noticed since using it?
- Compiling was cut down to about half the time.
- No stutters opening PDA
- Less stutters overall
- Not getting the complete freezing I was randomly getting.

"Optimized Tweaks S.2 - Reduced Stutter Mouse Fix Improved Performance Lower Latency"

"Proper solution to improve performance and stuttering issues, while maintaining visual quality. It boosts CPU and GPU efficiency, reduces latency, accelerates loading and boot times. It also enhances streaming and memory management. Remarkably, in some areas of the game it can increase FPS by 3-10 frames, depending on your hardware."

Nvidia - Be sure to disable VSYNC ingame. And go to nvidia control panel and tell vsync to run there instead.

And disable frame generation. Also helped out a ton!

Instead of getting crazy FPS drops during the 100 dogs (ok like 10 dogs) storming out of the cattle barn - didnt get any FPS drops! WOOT
