Compressed Textures Project

Description
This mod replace textures with "compressed ones".

Textures compressed to DXT5 and resize down:
  • for landscape from 2048 to 1024
  • for some other stuff from 4096 to 2048

Those changes will help to reduce loading time, will reduce stuttering and save some VRAM, so overall performance will get a massive performance boost.



Note:
  • This mod doesn't affect your save data and no import required.
  • To maintain maximum compatibility you should put this mod above all other mods.
  • A few screenshots come with "CSM" Shadows (instead of RTWSM).
  • Kenshi is getting crashed? — check here.

В данном моде выборочно пережаты текстуры ланшдафта и обьектов, чтобы сохранить компромисс между качеством картинки и влиянием на производительность.

Не секрет, что игра использует свыше 10Гб текстур, преимущественно размера 4096x4096px. Регулярный стриминг ресурсов подобного размера сильно замедляет общую работу приложения, особенно при подгрузке игровых регионов на системах без SSD, с видеокартами у которых не более 4Гб видеопамяти.

С целью уменьшения размера текстур был использован метод сжатия DXT5, а основные правила уменьшения разрешения текстур были такие:
  • 2048 > 1024
  • 4096 > 2048
  • Выборочные 2к и 4к текстуры не были затронуты, т.к. их пережатие значительно снижало качество текстур в самой игре.

Пережатые текстуры дадут небольшую прибавку к частоте кадров и значительно сократят время подгрузок текстур с диска в память.

this is a big help! i hated that long loading and texture looks much cleaner!

it breaks the game. you cannot use this mod with any other mod on. Also when it did work, it didn't really fix performance at all. Just compresses some stuff but then spirits break. the game engine is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Bad mod. No performance increase at all. Just makes textures look uglier.

Jack, it literally says "This mod doesn't affect your save data"

Do I need to start a new game for it to work?

The game has been updated, and your MOD needs an update too.

I've checked each file path and they all match to an existing Kenshi file, so at worst you might see textures that no longer match UVs, but the game shouldn't crash.
