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.

Always crash on hive villages specially factories and robotics and on rare occasions random hive houses, beware when going inside any hive related buildings. there could be more, that i havent seen, use with caution. though if you really struggle with lags just dont go in any hive buildings and your game will run at least a lil bit smoother and less loading times. always use shift+F12 to fix stuff whenever you got to new locations. I'll recommend it if you have no plans engaging with hive faction.:steamhappy:

Lo que no te dice la descripcion es que ademas borra cosas "extras" tipo detalles del mapa para apoyar el rendimiento, si no te interesan esas cosas genial, pero para otros como yo que hasta la más minima roca es importante pues no lo instalo.

The game crashes me a lot. I snooze everything when I walk into a store.

If you have any issues with this mod, just make sure it's first in your mod loader. Also I don't have any mods that add new assets to the game, so that may also be a factor. So far no crashes and load times are a bit shorter.

This mod is 5 years old and prone to crash the game more often.
