@TheLoneWanderer - Could you tell me where to find those folders? I would like to delete the font too.
Cartum Magnus  [author] 10 Dec, 2024 @ 12:12am 
@TheLoneWanderer The font is purely for aesthetics. It doesn't affect performance.
TheLoneWanderer 9 Dec, 2024 @ 5:39pm 
@Cartum - ok I will delete flatmap.dds and see how it goes.

Are the fonts optional or are they required? --can I delete that folder as well? thx
Cartum Magnus  [author] 9 Dec, 2024 @ 3:29pm 
@TheLoneWanderer It's hard to say how effective the performance improvement will be without testing, but I believe there will still be a significant boost even without the flatmap. I'm considering releasing a mod related to this, and in the meantime, you can try removing the flatmap if you want.
TheLoneWanderer 9 Dec, 2024 @ 1:30pm 
@Cartum - to use your mod with MB+, is it possible to just remove the flatmap from your mod? -would there still be a significant performance improvement? thx

I have integrated a German localization of this mod into mine: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3355568022
WTID 22 Nov, 2024 @ 11:27pm 
thanks you are the man
Cartum Magnus  [author] 22 Nov, 2024 @ 3:50pm 
@WTID "I understand the issue. The 'flatmap' in the More Bookmarks+ mod conflicts with the 'flatmap' in the Aesthetic & Performance-Friendly mod because it also covers Asia. Additionally, other parts of the mod become non-functional. If I have the time, I'll create a mod related to this.
WTID 22 Nov, 2024 @ 2:17pm 
more bookmarks+
Cartum Magnus  [author] 22 Nov, 2024 @ 11:08am 
@WTID I need to be sure we are talking about the same mode. Could you please specify the exact name of the mode you're using so that I can check?
WTID 22 Nov, 2024 @ 10:45am 
still blank color on asia with more bookmark mod i try every thing you say

📝 Update

Cartum Magnus  [author] 21 Nov, 2024 @ 7:28am 
📝 Update

• Performance optimizations and technical improvements have been implemented to enhance overall gameplay experience.
Cartum Magnus  [author] 20 Nov, 2024 @ 2:32pm 
📝 Update

• Converted all files to UTF-8 BOM encoding for better stability and compatibility
• Improved mod loading performance
• Enhanced cross-platform support

Note: All graphics and performance settings remain optimized.
Cartum Magnus  [author] 20 Nov, 2024 @ 1:50pm 
@finallyciv This is not a mod pack - it's a single optimization mod that adjusts vanilla graphics settings for better performance.

Main optimizations:
- Lighting & shadows
- Fog distance
- Bloom effects
- Depth of field
- Post-processing
- Map layers

No other mods are integrated. It's just carefully balanced settings for better FPS while keeping good visual quality.
Cartum Magnus  [author] 20 Nov, 2024 @ 1:49pm 
@WTID To fix Asia colors when using with More Bookmarks:

1. Load Order:
- More Bookmarks (top)
- This optimization mod (bottom)

2. If you have issues:
- Delete both mods
- Reinstall them in correct order
- Delete shader_cache folder in Documents/Paradox/CK3
Cartum Magnus  [author] 20 Nov, 2024 @ 1:46pm 
@Illuminatus369 This mod is specifically focused on graphics and performance optimization only. It doesn't add any new bookmarks or game content.

Main features of this mod:
- Optimized lighting and shadows
- Improved FPS performance
- Reduced memory usage
- Better game loading times
- Balanced visual quality
Illuminatus369 14 Nov, 2024 @ 9:31pm 
i also wanna know about new bookmarks +
WTID 13 Nov, 2024 @ 2:57pm 
is it posible to comp patch with more bookmarks i tried but asia not showing any color
finallyciv 13 Nov, 2024 @ 1:18pm 
Could you please add a list of the mods integrated into your mod (especially for performance)? Thanks!
Rakdar 10 Nov, 2024 @ 3:31pm 
Any way to get the paper map revamp as a separate mod? Looks really lovely and clean.
Cartum Magnus  [author] 9 Nov, 2024 @ 10:52am 
@Rhaion I sent you a friend request. We can talk when you're free :)
Rhaion 9 Nov, 2024 @ 9:48am 
I'm having a weird bug with this mod right now. Even if I activate this mod alone, my game still crashes on the "Game Initialization" before the main menu. I'm not sure what could be causing this, but I'm happy to do any investigations necessary, should you require help with it.

Otherwise, thank you for your work @Cartum, it's appreciated greatly. :)
Cartum Magnus  [author] 8 Nov, 2024 @ 5:00pm 
@The_Shogun I don't understand you
The_Shogun 7 Nov, 2024 @ 4:37pm 
Is their a way to use this and still see things like realm capitals?
Cartum Magnus  [author] 7 Nov, 2024 @ 9:07am 
@Dr. Glitchgo Not at the moment, unfortunately. However, once things slow down a bit, I plan to look into making it compatible with these types of mods.
Cartum Magnus  [author] 7 Nov, 2024 @ 9:04am 
@That's a great suggestion! I'll look into what can be done. I'm currently in the process of updating the mod anyway.
Cartum Magnus  [author] 7 Nov, 2024 @ 9:02am 
@Ligarset I'm working on fixing this problem.
Dr. Glitchgo 7 Nov, 2024 @ 8:29am 
I'm guessing there's no compatibility with map mods like Asia Expansion?
TheLoneWanderer 7 Nov, 2024 @ 8:17am 
If there was a game rule to choose the vanilla font that would be most appreciated. Thank you

I agree that the game performance is markedly improved and the game closes incredibly fast
Ligarset 7 Nov, 2024 @ 6:20am 
PLease do not change UI font :(
Cartum Magnus  [author] 6 Nov, 2024 @ 6:48pm 
@levi @JRyan @Al120 Thank you for your feedback. There might be some issues as the mod is still new. I will test the problematic areas you've reported as soon as possible.
Al120 6 Nov, 2024 @ 6:15pm 
I am not sure what you did but from what brief usage of the mod I've seen dramatic results. Namely in ram usage and the game closes a lot faster.
JRyan 6 Nov, 2024 @ 5:37pm 
@levi Same problem. Could be a card issue, using RTX 2070 super.
levi 6 Nov, 2024 @ 5:35pm 
just a quick heads up - this mod doesn't seem to work at all and just crashes when you are using Vulkan as your renderer, only seems to work on DX11 for me
Cartum Magnus  [author] 6 Nov, 2024 @ 7:53am 
@TheLoneWanderer To better identify the issues, could you please disable the other mods and run this mod standalone in a new game? I would appreciate your feedback afterwards. This way, if there's a bug, I can fix it.
TheLoneWanderer 6 Nov, 2024 @ 7:34am 
**Update - this issue is only occurring outside of Europe and much of Asia. Seems to be limited to Africa and Middle East where special characters are being used
TheLoneWanderer 6 Nov, 2024 @ 7:31am 
@Cartum - I am seeing that a single character has been replaced by an X surrounded by a rectangle . It can be in the name, religion, title, etc. It is only occurring once in any word. Is this an incompatibility on my side with another mod?

If I remove this mod, will my game still be playable? Thank you
lucocarvalho 6 Nov, 2024 @ 5:20am 
@Cartum Got it, thanks!
Cartum Magnus  [author] 6 Nov, 2024 @ 4:53am 
@lucocarvalho It should work fine as long as you place Simple Borders below this mod in your load order.
