Also, I've wrote this Steam guide, would appreciate if you guys want to take a look and might help even further, HFW has a LOD problem too. Which is also directly tied to VRAM.
This mod solved my problem with VRAM leak, my fps was droping from 130 to 50-60 fps over time with frame gen and only exiting game and starting it again was solving problem but after some 30 min fps would drop again. Now I can play 100-130 fps all time, everything on max, with dlss and amd frame gen, only motion blur is off, 1080p. Im using 3070 and 5600x with 16gb of ram. Thank you for this mod man...

Your game is likely on a HDD likely sipnning below 7200rpm. Re-Enable DirectStorage+Mod and if your game is unplayable then consider moving it to an SDD.
Try the mod + DirectStorage at the same time. If issues are still present then, if it isnt broken don't fix it. Delete the mod and keep DStorage as it was.
2 questions: what made you install the mod? did you check the mod is actually being loaded and active into the game?
Hi sorry i couldn't reply the top comment but went to your steam link tried few things they worked like charm atm im playing with AFMF 2.1 and fsr 2.2 tried your guide to download that fsr 3 sdk and extract that amd fsr3 dll into the game but it seems it doesn't work do any tip or idea why it doesnt my spec is asus rog ally z1 extreme with amd 25.3 driver afmf 2.1 on freesync vrr on antilag on 720p without RSR only fsr 2.2 in game set to quality and low settings with some of them on very high or high like terrain detail etc it runs at 70~90 fps it would be amazing to use fsr 3 tbh found one mod here but it says only RTX users fsr supposed to be for everyone yet only works on the most disgustng gpu with the most proprietary features
HFW ditched FSR2.2 long ago ago and updated it to 3.1 with native FG. Is your game adquired "elsewhere" perhaps? I suggest trying the last version of HFW or mod FSR3.1 with Optiscaler. (supposing you're on a non-Steam version)
I believe there's an issue on my end. I have an RTX 3060 Ti with 8GB of VRAM.
I installed the mod and confirmed that I followed the instructions correctly. However, after running the game, I didn't notice any improvements in loading times or performance. I even tried deleting the files to test if the mod was functioning as described, but still no luck. Additionally, the mod seems to cause stability issues after about an hour of gameplay, such as Aloy's voice not being heard and the map not loading in the tab menu. Can you help me troubleshoot this?
Yes, I tried both the plugin and DirectStorage simultaneously, but the issues persist. My game is installed on an SSD, and it's running the latest version, 1.5.80.0.
If I install this with Vortex, do I still need to do any of the steps of manually copying/deleting the gamefiles? (sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm pretty new to PC gaming and this is actually the first mod I've ever installed)
I have no idea how Vortex works, if I were you I would normally download the file as it is, a .rar/.zip file, extract it and copy the 2 files into your HFW main folder.
Oh my god, I just have to say thank you so much! I quit the game a few months midway because I couldn't take it anymore and this mod got rid of all my performance issues. Rig: RTX 2060 6GB i5-8600k 16GB RAM nvme SSD
Since everyone who visits this thread seems to be dealing with the same problems, I just want to remind everyone that both native DLSS and the DLSS to FSR3 mod have all had version updates recently, and they all perform better than the previous versions. If you haven't updated whichever one you use since the time of this post, do so. Just like with this mod, to install them, you copy the .dll files directly into the same folder where the main game .exe lives. Back up the originals first, and overwrite when asked.
