    This mod fixed my finances and saved my marriage!

    Thanks Scar!


    On a more serious note...

    This mod combined with his PSO mod (particle system) reduced load times and made changing areas much smoother. Less lag from particles as well.


    Highly recommend both.

    Hello there.... your mod is FC awesome dude... i run Kenshi on potato AMDlaptop with 4gb ram... i already had some mods that compressed texture etc and other for performance also some that remove foliage and still had issues ....
    When i installed your mod kenshi start run so smooth i could believe in my eyes... the loading screen takes 1-2 seconds to load and its rare to happen... i have 20 OP charactes with 200 stat that they run about 50mph and everything goes so smooth...  but the point isnt only that i can play really fast on kenshi...but also that your mod fixed a lot of clipping problem that i had with some hairstyles... even if i already had mods for this reason didnt help much until i download your mod... keep the good work dude...! and thank you...!

      im glad you finally found my mods, i m tired of steam flood of crap mods that promise performance
      with 0 benchmarks or proofs and get milion downloads from it...
      front image meme + 0 screenshots and 0 sources, but it does not stop people from taking this crap
      and later they all not wanna go thru "extra efforts" just to use "another performance mod"
      This is THE PERFORMANCE MOD, i know how to fix this game and provide real solutions!

    I dont understand, is this another bat file? What about the other one named Performance Fix? Why not make a single one, is there an optimal order to run your mods?

      This one can scan mods from steam
      if you don't use any Performance Fix is bigger, but can't scan steam mods
      this one also works on linux flawlessly

      I see, well I'm on GOG/Windows, so I'll try Performance Fix. They both do basically the same thing? Guess I shouldn't use both then, correct?

      if you can live with suboptimal Performance fix can:

      • Completely fix particles (just like pso, but worse bcs machine does not understand background complexity and DX1/2/3 stage conversion)
      • Fix mesh serialize and errors related to it (without linux support, with slower installation and without steam mods support)
      • Optimize Water (same/better because water optimizer was V1 when it came out)
      • Fix shaders (same as shader fix)
      • improve compatibility of all files in the game (huge benefit of scanning everything with 3 different systems)
      • fix additional non water/non particle textures and optimize them and their references

    do I need replace old files with new ones (to update) and do I need run script again after update ?

      yes and yes, however i mentioned its mostly QoL update for better installation
      if you installed past version correctly you don't need to stress yourself too much

    Hello, I’m using your PSO and performance mod, and it worked well with the GOG version. However, I encountered an error with the following message for this mod:
    Could not find the Kenshi executable. Please ensure the Updater is placed inside the Kenshi installation directory.

    Could you advise on how to resolve this? Thank you!

    Nvm, I created a subfolder inside the kenshi folder and ran the .bat there and it works perfectly

      Mesh updater should come with the folder for itself
      to keep it clean and easy to manage for people

      • i wasn't comfortable with placing 10 files right next to kenshi.exe for players

    Thanks for the great mod. I accidentally did the mesh update twice, will that be okay?

      No problem
      all off mine bat script-based mods ware designed to be accidentally (or not) used multiple times in any order you want
      one time is okey, additional usage will not increase performance, it will also not break anything (mesh will be found, version will be seen and not changed if its up to date)

    I have no idea what kind of program this is, but it’s pure magic!

    I modded Kenshi quite heavily, which made loading times painfully long, though my PC managed to handle it — barely.

    But things went south when I needed to import my saves. The game just refused to cooperate, crashing to the desktop with error messages every time.

    This program fixed everything. I don’t know how or why, but it’s an absolute lifesaver.
    Author, you’re a wizard. Wishing you all the health and happiness in the world!
