JW4 GEN-12 (ADS) (Compressed)

Default M16 has 10,000 polygons, while most gun nowaday have ~60,000. There are 18 weapon replacements, multiply them up and you will know the vast difference.
Shadow render base on model, game render model first and then shadow, they both animate as you play. You can think shadow effect is like PC render 60 pictures per second. Therefore the workload would increases exponentially as you use more detailed model.

Sorry friend if I'm bothering you 😅 Normally I only play with mods and launch parameters so as not to have performance problems, and I managed to find the parameters to play with the shadows up and enjoy the weapons, I have had problem after problem with some mods that made me crash, but when I discovered your mods I simply loved the mods and I don't know why I have that problem, my wish is to be able to play with your mods in ultra.

I'm more than happy to know you interested in my mod, however i would want to get this problem solved before i move on to my last ADS collection.

Do you notice how you can load a map faster if you've loaded it before? PC saves some informations in RAM, including the asset within my mod that causing trouble. This RAM usage serves L4D2 so as long as you exit L4D2, your PC shouldn't be laggy. To get around this, either give up on this mod, or learn about it and modify this mod yourself.

3. Personal opinion about gaming PC, your Intel Core i3 with 8 GB RAM is more than enough for highest graphic (in regular gameplay, without any mod), however i don't know your GPU but i think it's not so weak to make FPS falls below 30.
L4D2 released in 2009, now is 2024, do you realize how old it is? Intel Core i3 was once a standard for gaming PC, it's not for 2017 and later game but L4D2 is definately OK.
If you have Ryzen 5 5600G Processor and 16 GB RAM, you can even play Call of Duty Warzone, Ghostrunner, Dying Light, Naraka,... not best graphic but 60 FPS guaranteed.

Even further, i don't know to what extend this problem can affect your PC. Does it last as long as you exit L4D2? or as long as you keep my mod? or as long as you restart PC? Does it affect other game and software as well? Does shut down and start up take longer?

I always leave a link to original mod, have you tried them?

I hope i make myself clear when i say i can't help you. I have no rights nor abilities to help you. I have this discuss with you so we can find the cause of your problem, you can enjoy my mod while i have more knowledge. That's my passion and responsibility.

2. I know what i'm doing and what i upload to public. My mod arn't perfect, but i never upload anything that i've never tried. Still, like stated above, i might have no problem with my mod but that does NOT mean my mod can't cause trouble, and finding it is something i rely totally on you since only you have this problem so far.
That is why i have been telling you to test, not this mod, but your PC.

I see you're into a long talk. I'll let you know what i'm thinking:

1. Computers are science. Like how a doctor can't remotely perform a surgery, i can't have a gasp of what happened when you use my mod. Your computer could be running many background application like antivirus, screen wallpaper, cleaning service, or other service that affect the game directly like GPU setting, ReShade mod or screen filter. I also don't know how long have you been using your PC, how many application was installed, how you configure Windows and app setting.
Moreover, i don't know in what condition you tested my mod and came to your conclusion. Try my GEN-12, or original Animal33's GEN-12; try in official map or community map; try this mod alone or along with other mod; try this mod with graphic setting; try mod after reloading map, or after restarting game, or after restarting PC; try other mod (from me or others) while NOT using my GEN-12.

I was looking on YouTube for videos of realistic mods for Left 4 Dead 2 and what caught my attention was your collection of mods, having the gun in that aiming position was something I never thought would be achieved in the game, I would honestly say it's what best I've seen for the game, so I subscribed to all the weapons I could from your collection, but the bad thing was the FPS stuttering problem.

My friend who knows about computers told me that those computers are no longer suitable for gaming so I'm building a computer with the Ryzen 5 5600g processor and 16 RAM, I just hope I don't have that problem I'm having. Or tell me what requirements would I need to be able to play with these mods without problem?

Do all your weapon mods have the same function or just this collection?

Good. If you know that much, you can find solution on your own. Goodluck.
