Redux slows down R* Editor massively! Need help

[WhipFx]

Hello,

Since I installed the Redux Mod, the Rockstar Editor got very slow. If I edit a recorded clip, it takes sometimes ~5-15 seconds to create a new camera or keyframe or even to move the camera. Jumping in the timeline is also loading really long, ~ 30 or more seconds.

I tested the same in Vanilla GTA 5, there it takes ~ 1 Second to make a new camera or edit it and scrolling/jumping through the timeline does not take a single second to load.. It seems to me like the Rockstar Editor can not really handle the Redux mod?

How can I fix this? I would be really thankful for any help, I tried hours of hours to fix the problem yesterday and found nothing.. I renamed the mods folder in order to test it, and with a renamed mods folder (so that no redux files are loaded) the editor is working as fast as it should. So the mod has to be the problem.

(I also had the blurry effect when moving the camera in the editor, I already fixxed that because I thought this would slow down the editor, but it wasn't apperently)

[I'm using Redux 1.2.1 with the hotfix]

Hope that anyone can help me! Love your mod.

I tried replacing every file step by step with the vanilla one, restarted the game for each file, recorded one new clip for each replacement but still no difference..

I don't get it where those long loading times are coming from..

hmm, me neither my friend.
ok, we have to take bigger steps to narrow down the issue.
replace one x64*.rpf file after another one by one and try which archive is responsible.
i cant imagine that the R* editor records textures that aren't in the game anymore...

Okey buddy, I finally found the archive where the problem is coming from! The issue is coming from the x64f.rpf. If I delete the archive, the editor is working as fast as it was before in Vanilla GTA 5.

ok, i will look at its content and get back at you.
Thank you for testing, really appreciate it.

Its all vegetation textures (weeds, plants and mostly bushes)
2 juice stand textures but i think you can live without that.

like i said, i'm working on a lower resolution patch, but it takes time.

I'm still not sure though why it would slow down recordings that has been made on redux,
but played back on a different mod. Must've still saved those textures somehow. I really
don't know how the R* editor works...

you can still use redux (install as usual) and drag the 64xf.rpf from vanilla to desktop,
go to your mods folder and drop it in there. dont forget to enable edit mode, it doesn't
give you any confirmation.

sorry that there is no better solution at this time.

Okey, thank you for the help mate! I will use the vanilla archive then, but is it possible to install the LA Vegetation mod over Redux in order to have better vegetation textures?

Because I think that the LA vegetation mod doesn't slow down the editor.

[WhipFx]

I've now installed LA vegetation and it's working perfectly with Redux (Also the editor is as fast as the Vanilla one even with LA Vegetation). I also noticed that the performance of redux is much better without the x64f archive (my fps are a lot higher & it runs so much better: I have ~50-60 fps now, and with the x64f archive I only had 25-30 fps)

So I think that a lower resulution patch would fix performance issues and it would also make the editor faster.

[b0nk!]

I will move the x64f.rpf up the to-do list.
But there are 109 archives with 3-5 textures per archive in x64f.rpf
A lot of labor intensive work. Don't expect anything soon.

I really appreciate your feedback. I want to thank you again.

[WhipFx]

No problem man, take your time! I also appreciate your work, it doesn't have to come soon:)

I have to thank you for the help.

Thank you, you're awesome! Gonna test it the next days:)

It worked, thank you so much!

The Rockstargames Editor is now approximately as fast as in Vanilla GTA 5, there are no long loading times. Appreciate your work!
