Changelogs
Version 1.3
Version 1.3 improved quality of missing files
i had to rework them from the ground for PSO and they get rl smooth as result
and improved the package quality
with minor script alteration
with 1.3 it should match missing files quality to PSO which also makes 2 of the mods more align to work together
Version 1.2
This version provide installer with important scripts for compatibility with GoG version of the game
Performancewise its identical to previous version, i just wanna ensure nobody will have headashes from things not working
Thank you and have a good day
Version 1.2 required additional scripts and fixes to ensure proper support for GoG version of the game
Version 1.1
During the Early Release synopse78 noticed the potential issue with the mod Shadiness Lite and suggested working solution
This version is same as it was before plus suggested change
Thank you so much!
Version 1.0
Release version of the mod, tested to high degrees before release
This mod is a collection of solutions designed to improve the game in the form of one complex mod It contain solutions similar to Mesh Updater with stronger code, Repairs broken shader files left in the game and scan all game files converting possible textures to a Faster Format without lose of visuals and changes all references to said textures to ensure compatibility of the game with the changes.
Mod still benefit users of other performance mods
Just like my other performance mods, this one have no visual downgrades in game
Description:
Shortly after Mesh Updater, i started working on Water Optimizer...mod was supposed to improve water effects and increase performance in and near water in the meantime ElgarL returned with dash into log files finding remaining problems, his solution is this package, it put my Water Optimizer to Shame xD and provide you with much greater benefits as long as game is better for it as result, its all good! His intention was single comprehensive package
Easier to mod the game without having to download and install multiple smaler mods
Chance to apply complex solution as full scan of game files
Don't Stress yourself too much
All my mods are designed to work, regardless if you mix them all together or use just one
feel free to install any combination in any order (user experience is very important)
you can even keep running my funky installers multiple times if you want to
only stupid thing to avoid doing: unplugging power or terminating function during installation...
All the mods provide 0 risk to player save data and don't require starting over!
How to install:
Install PSO 1st for better performance if you want (optional)
Download the package
Transport Entire folder "PerformanceFix" into Kenshi.exe location
Start the bat file inside
(You don't have to run it as administrator, file is safe to use and don't require some impossible permissions)
once you finish installation, LOAD THE GAME (you need to make sure game works correctly before you add more mods)
This tool does not make Backups! you might consider backing up /data folder before using the tool!
Tool Scan entire kenshi installation folder fixing the meshes and improving textures and references
Once again, make backup, if game works fine you can always delete, if something goes wrong you will have it :)
Usage on Linux/Steamdesk
There is a work around that should allow users of Linux to run this mod: small guide
Performance mods that can benefit people who already use it:
Limb icon fix? - performance from it once you used all above will be invisible xD
Additional Articles - they can improve performance of entire PC, but hey will works xD
