Huh, gotcha, appreciate Kamikaze_Llama!

@Sphinx Prime: Actually, that's not quite accurate. The way it works... is that whatever modifies a file first "wins". What makes this confusing is that it's all done in reverse order, so the lower a mod is in the order, the sooner it loads... or something.

Basically... if you're using this to play with friends, everybody should either load it *before* or *after* YAML.

In all other cases, load this first, or try both and see what you like best.

YAML "fixed" this due to a tiny number of people complaining about not being able to shoot tiny gun barrels that you usually can't even see unless you're playing like a n00b and face-hug constantly.

Appreciate Sphinx, thank you!

@funkypumpkin load order shouldn't matter. Mods in this game don't overwrite each other so if it's not working it's probably conflicting with another mod.

CAN ANYBODY SAY WHAT'S THE LOAD ORDER PLEASE?)

@S-3131 can you please say what's the load order?

@Alice this does work with YAML, brought my fps up too!

Can I use this with YAML?
I get a laundry list of conflicts with YAML in the mods screen and don't really want to just go for it.
But this sounds like a great mod and would like to use it.

Howdy! So what is the load order for this cookie?) I've seen both: should come first & should be the last one...so wondering which is it) Just wanna squeeze some more for my old lady 3060. Since DLSS is ... well you know) I'm running full YAML package with all optionals plus all the major QoL. Oh & TTRulez

Mech weight will become lighter if change mechs in mission.

I play on a super potato rig and WOW MASSIVE PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT! THANK YOU!!! You are a savior! Liked, fav and awarded!

При включении мода довольно часто стала вылетать игра. В окне пишет, что мало памяти GPU для обработки кадра. Ну да, каких то 12 Gb, что хватает без мода и на лучи. Да и вылеты бывают не только в бою, но и просто в ангаре. Не рекомендую к установке.

This mod seems to be incompatible with Pilot Overhaul, strangely enough.

@Dae: Nexus builds have been updated, yup!

@Noop: this is mainly just maintenance. DLC4+ didn't have quite so many problems and I've mainly left them alone. I should note that I've never gotten around to doing anything w/ the Crusader, in terms of fixing up its hitboxes; I've been too busy working on my own game lately to spend much time on MW5 modding :-)

Do you have any intentions of updating Xeno Optimize and Xeno Art Optimize on the Nexus? it's as old as DLC 3 comptabile.

Is the latest version simply a repackage of the source posted on Nexus using the latest editor? From what I can tell, it doesn't appear any of the assets from DLCs 4-6 have been updated and was curious if there may be further improvements to make the same changes for them.

I don't know, but I'm working on getting one released soon out of an abundance of caution.

Does this require an update for DLC6?

Any incoming updates for DLC5, and soon DLC6? YAML-compatible version too?

please, could we also have this version on nexusmods?

and is this version compatible with DLC 5?

what's the difference between this and 2.0? Looks like there both still getting updated.

And, I more meant that vonBiomes maps lost frames with this one, but vanilla maps ran smoother.

I was more astonished at how bad the loss in FPS to VB maps was, over half my frames came back once I ceased trying to mash them up in the load order.

@Kamikaze_Llama

Ah well. I really do like what both mods do, just a pity they don't cohabitate without compromises.

I've told the author of VonBiomes all about that issue, and apparently fixing it's never going to happen. VonBiomes costs frames because of all the stuff that's less optimized, but, frankly, it's pretty (other than that odd thing with the fungus, lol).

Do not use with vonBiomes; some users report that this is compatible with vonBiomes as of this update, but no, it still produces rock particles on the xenofungus biome. Irony, no xeno because xeno. Not only do they conflict, I lost frames pairing them in my mod setup.

Either use this OR vonBiomes, not both.

So far as I know, this mod largely Just Works with the current DLC. I'll probably update it at some point soon, but I'm pretty busy IRL.

@Kamikaze_Llama do mod work with new dlc5 or u are working on it when u can?

Dear mod author, is there a difference between version on nexus mod which is 2.99a, this steam is version 3.00

Thank you so much for all our work and effort! It runs so smoooooothly now! Can't thank you enough!

Is running this and your art optimizer V.2.0 redundant?

are you going to do an update for this most recent DLC by chance?

It's all cool. I would fix this if I knew what was causing it, for sure!

Oh to be clear I didn't expect a fix cause I know it is impossible to diagnose from just this. Just leaving a comment for other people if they run into this issue. Maybe it is compatibility issue with other mods cause I do have a lot of them on.

Yeah, that's really weird. IDK what to tell you beyond that, honestly. I've never seen a crash while testing over here, and pretty much everything done in the mod is supposed to reduce CPU use, not GPU.

I have them up to date. Maybe it is the latest drivers sure. But doesn't change that when I disabled it it went away.

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION means you're having some sort of GPU issue. IDK what it has to do with the mod, as this doesn't touch anything GPU-related at all, to the best of my knowledge. So IDK what to tell you, other than update your GPU's drivers. https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/unhandled-exception-exception-access-violation-reading-address-0x000001c65bc205d0/755416

I have the latest version from June and a lot of mods enabled, I kept getting a lot of random crashes to desktop with "Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION". Usually after 2 or 3 missions and in one case several times in one mission. Unfortunately disabling this mod fixed it.

@soldiert01 What GPU do you have? you should be able to limit framerate in the Nvidia control panel or AMD equivalent. I've only ever used Nvidia so its something like opening the control panel>3D Settings>Program Settings>Add MW5>Scroll to Max Frame Rate>Set to 60 and apply. Also just FYI, my i7 7700K gets to around the 70-80C range when playing the game but doesn't creep beyond that unless its hot outside. Might be worth looking into better cooling if you can?

thats 75+ and 85+ Celsius for anyone wondering

just how big is the performance boost? i play this game on medium-low graphics and my CPU still gets up to 75+ per mission (i only am able to play 2 instant action missions before it creeps above 85+ and im forced to stop playing to prevent my pc from freezing).

also if anyone can tell me (without using 3rd party apps) how to cap framerate to 60 if it isnt already by default that would be great!

I've just now read all this. I'll see what I can do about providing an official update. As for the D3D error... I can't for the life of me imagine it's the mod, frankly. That sounds like a driver / hardware issue.

d3d error and now i cant even play the game AFTER a REINSTALL thanks for nothing

this mod does not work anymore to anyone who used it. since the DLC it stopped working. its a shame really bc it cut my loading time in half. as far as i know the creator has turned his attention to something else.

Conflict with YAML. Its Normal?

I use this and I do not have the dlc (required)

With my 45 +/- mods installed (community packs) this included and the wall of conflicts this mod tossed out. I was slightly skeptical this would do anything but crash...

BUT NO .... I am not kidding the amount of load time it has shaved off all the different loads, from game launch to mission finish, jump jet to other sector or loading a backup save!!

Base game 1.3.3.5.56 meh something like that

Went from 10+ min launch time to less than 5 from click start game to game select / load.

Change sector from more than 10 mins depending on the amount of quests in sector to less than 2 frikin 2 mins awesome, and well the jump ship animation thing is amazingly fast now and hardly stutters ..

My PC is a potato and I love it
A8-6600k
radeon RX580 2048sp 8gig ddr5
32gig/ 16gig showing ddr3 1866 mem
500gb ssd kingston with normal stats 6gb transfer bla bla bla x5

Amazing! I want more of what ever special sauce you have put in to this epic ?mod?

The hype is real! This mod works as advertised and noticeably boosted my FPS.

Hey, just wanted everybody to know that I won't be able to update for a while; I made a game that's on Steam now: I had this crazy idea of combining a game like that with FTL-like deck-building mechanics.

Nuke Survivors is the result.

I've put up a free demo on Itch.io, if anybody wants to look. It's arcade-y and pretty straightforward at this time, but I'm open to adding more features if I'm seeing enough feedback!

Lexus Mods aka Cash Grabbers ... Their external mod installer is a money pit ... Lets just ignore this and download from real community modders

That's all in your head (or it's due to PGI's changes to the AI). This doesn't magically make the AI hit you more.
