vonBiomes 18 - New Biome & Performance Update!

Description
DLC6 Ready and final polishing of volumetric clouds, lighting, skies & more! — Be sure no other mod is overriding vonBiomes, read the description below, and check out the update's changelog!:) Thank you!

New Biomes, Foliage Overhaul, and Landscapes. Dynamic mission-based Lighting, Weather, Ambient Sounds. New special locations to visit in your missions, like Fortresses, Caves, Rivers, HPG Stations, Spaceports and Landing Pads, and much more!

It took quite a lot of work hours, coffee, beer, and learning;) - If you like what you see be sure to leave an Endorsement, do a donation to tip me a beer, or two, or just have a happy dance in front of your screen

@PERFORMANCE:
Everything is tested on a 2070S Card for 50-60 FPS in 4k in max Detail.
Please also check the mod's Mod Options!
if you have performance issues, please hop on the Discord for #help!
INVITE FOR HELP CHANNEL https://discord.gg/Raqx3RB4xQ
It can have many reasons, from hardware to DLSS, from settings to ini file entries or even mod conflicts, etc.
We will take a look together;)

For all info, questions, help, and sharing screenshots, please join the vonBiomes Discord community as well: https://discord.gg/pbPzX9eyss Cheers!

MUST DO:
* RTX Cards: Turn off Raytracing! It does not help much visually, but has issues with Mechwarrior and lowers performance dramatically.

+ IMPORTANT TO HAVE:
Get the "Mod Options" Mod on the Nexus — it allows you to configure ambient volume, Volumetric Fog, Volumetric Clouds and much more. It also allows customizing general atmosphere densities and night brightness.
Get it here and drop it in your mod folder and enable in-game: https://www.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior5mercenaries/mods/537


INCOMPATIBILITIES & Know issues with other Mods:
* Xenopax Optimize: Causes issues with custom particle systems (large bouncy boulders instead of correct particles), not recommended when using vonBiomes
* Any other Lighting / Weather mods: if you use other lighting mods overriding vonBiomes, you loose the dynamic lighting, probably also sky bodies, etc, etc. - not recommended.

Btw: If you are interested in Habitats and Environments just like me, download the NatureSpots App;)

Always been a huge fan of this mod. Recently returned to MW5 and did a full refresh/reinstall of my mod list and checked all dependencies. I believe previously I was running VonBiomes ~12.

There has been a lot added since I last played which is excellent, however I want to mention that I am also having issues with performance degradation. First mission runs flawlessly with max settings 2K, then with each consecutive mission performance drops dramatically.

What I found works is to launch a mission, then once it is loaded restart the mission and it runs perfectly. It can be a bit tedious doing this for every mission but load times are not too bad so I don't mind.

Hey i have a problem on planet with high density of tree, in stronghold mission leopard drop mech on top of the tree, and they get stuck (Please help step bro). Not game breaking, but annoying since i have to do a deforestation work before killing them.
Great mod, good continuation.

makes game unplayable with some biomes, i have high end hardware and im getting slogged down to maybe 5fps even when running minimum specs. The gaslighting is fucked

Hi, do you know if VonMission mod from same author works with DLC6? There is turned off discussion in VonMission so I am asking there.

Thaks for reply.

confirmed that this mod is causing massive performance drops on high end hardware. disabled until its fixed

Running really poorly on latest DLC.. 4090 and 7950x went from 130s to 20-30s at 4k. Not sure what's going on, but something is rough. No Ray Tracing is running.
Ayar Apr 13 @ 5:31pm 
Oh is it this one + Solaris DLC that sent FPS to 20-24? I was hoping it was something else but hadn't gone through the trial-and-error. Some over saturated colors came in with the 60% fps hit, I suppose that's related.

i woul rly glad if you make some aditional thing that we could turn off in settings. for some reason my game goes 90 - 160 fps, than every like 5 - 20 seconds it drops to 10 - 25 fps. no matter if fight is going on, or derection i am looking for. but its more frecuent in fights. sry for misspeling, its not my native language.
Nigel Thiccbottom Apr 7 @ 1:14pm 
tested on 2070S Card for 50-60 FPS in 4k in max Detail. Yeah, shure bud.

Since installing the Von Biome 18 mod, I no longer have the option to change anything in the mod. It's not in the menu anywhere anymore and I don't understand why.
