    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 sorry if this has already been asked but do i need to run this, performance fix and PSO again if i add new mods, or will they automatically update when i run kenshi? Thankyou for your time (i'm not very good at modding)

      PSO might be tainted if you use other particle mods
      as PSO override vanilla system, other particle mods might bring back old system
      if mod only reference vanilla system PSO will support it

      Performance Fix and PSO are good to just use once
      unless you verify files you don't need to run it again

    Accidentally interrupted the .bat process. Retried it and now says it can't find the Kenshi executable and "something's fucked." Even tried a clean install of Kenshi and it still isn't working, though the reinstallation did keep all the same installed files including all of the mesh upgrade, PSO, and Perfomance Fix files. Game won't go 20 seconds off of loading without crashing. EDIT: Fixed it, things are still just crashing though. Love your work

      Tried deleting all Mesh Upgrade files and anything with Ogre in the name, then verified file integrity. Still not fixing my crashes.

      You are clearly acting in nerves and distress
      its hard to tell exactly state of your game right now (you could go to kenshi.info.log and check it for errors and warnings)
      however Reinstallation or verification of files REMOVES THE MOD
      as such if you are facing crashes, Mesh updater don't fix/prevent crashes
      it align the meshes with the engine so they LOAD FASTER and CLEANER

      YOU CAN LITERALLY READ THIS ON FRONT PAGE
      Kenshi use Meshes developed in different times where engine use fixed version as results everytime you load new object
      some of the objects return dirty errors, they do not crash the game, but slow it down
      Mod update all meshes into the Version compatible with kenshi engine (example of dirty errors, i m talking about):

    I am so sorry to ask this but how do I "run .bat"? I've never done this before and assume it is different between games?

      Hey, .bat file is like any other .exe, but unlike nicely packaged application that run under windows, but independent of it, this is just raw command strip for windows kernel to run (while regular application is self-contained to run itself, this have only basic commands for windows)
      TLDR: click twice on bat file

    i got a question, maybe a dumb question but i'm mainly intrested in this for the optimization of modded meshes (used your performance fix for vanilla stuff and love it <3), my question is  if it's safe to update Universal Wasteland Expansion's meshes with this ? (i guess useing the UpdateSteamMesh option) ?

      risk is minimal that some texture will lie badly if meshes are very old and poorly made
      when that happen i blame mod authors and don't bother with it xD

      by itself tool is safe to use, it will not affect your saves or anything like this
      so far this error happened only once with old oddysey pre-release version
      but author redo the model that broke...i don't have permissions to fix broken mods so i can't cover it

      so in general it should be safe and help with performance, yeah ? (if yes then i'll give it a try when the next big update of UWE drops in a few days  with a lot of QoL and fixes stuff supposidly cuz that's when i intend to lock in )

    The amount of effort to make things idiot proof as possible while being as patient/humble; is admirable.
    Endorsed.

      Thank you, however i can not take too much of a humble credits, while i m trying my best i often need to stand tall in front of my work
      people want something that will work and sometimes "ït should hopefully help" is not good enough to inform that you know what you ware doing

    HI! I'm having some trouble installing the mod. When I try to run the .bat file, I get a message that says "Could not find the kenshi executable, make sure to place Updater inside Kenshi location". I placed the files in the same folder as kenshi_x64.exe. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!!

    edit: I totally missed the comment about this. Got it working now, hehe. The mod runs perfectly!

    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!
