Hi
This mod increases fps and reduces stutter and also make frames smooth.
-Increase fps by disabling some AO and Tonemap postprocesses of the game and by optimizing decals and lighting.
-Shadows completely removed and water interactions and ocean waves also disabled to decrease cpu/gpu load.
-reduce stutter by decreasing draw distance thanks to haloarbiter117 and by some edits that I made to LOD.
-Improve frame rates by using texture cache.
-make frames smooth by a reshade method.
please add comments and give me energy to update this mod for more enhancements.
Some credits go to katalash for mod engine and haloarbiter117 for draw distance.
Suitable for weak pcs
Version 1.01:
-Disabled some lighting functions to increase performance.
-Disabled decals to increase performance and reduce stutter.(Like blood on surfaces)
-And some more optimizations.
Version 1.02 (No grass):
-Removed grasses from game to improve performance and reduce stutter.
-Some optimizations added to draw distance.
-Some optimizations added to postprocess.
Version 1.03 :
-Removed wind effects from game to decrease gpu/cpu load.
-Increased lighting performance by disabling light shadowing.
-turned off reshade frame blend to increase fps. (see note 1)
Version 1.04 :
-Disabled texture map displacement to improve performance significantly and decrease stutter a bit.
-improved light maps and shaders for more fps.
Version 1.05 :
-Removed remaining shadow computations to increase performance.
-Removed remaining water interaction computations to increase performance.
-Disabled light shafts.
-And some minor optimizations.
Note 1:
Frame blend make game frames smooth at cost of a little performance, it's not so good at low frame rates so in every version you can switch it off or on by pressing 'home' key and deselecting it. or you can lower it's effect by decreasing Threshold.
Note 2:
Please remember in higher versions I tried to disable game features to increase performance so use higher versions as last resort.
Installation:
First backup your Data0.bdt then drag and drop files in the rar to games executable directory and overwrite everything.
Important:
Use this methods if your game crashes when you start:
First of all check if your dark souls 3 is the latest version.
1- Move your saves to another place and try again.
2-Go in mod/shader folder and remove gxdecal.shaderbnd.dcx
3-Remove one by one mod files to findout which file is the problem then comment the problematic files
4-You can use modengine 2 from this link:
https://github.com/soulsmods/ModEngine2/releases/tag/release-2.1.0
This may solve your problem.
1.first remove dinput8.dll and modengine.ini.
2.Extract modengine 2 files into dark souls 3 executable directory.
3.Read the readme.txt file to arrange the mod.
4.After it run the game with launchmod_darksouls3.bat.
5-Go to mod/shader folder and remove gxrenderershader.shaderbnd.dcx and try again
6-You can use the mod even without modded data0.btn or reshade.dll and dxgi.dll, the main optimizations is the mod folder and modengine. ( data0.btn is responsible for wind effect and draw distance)
