Only allow for integer numbers as values in this implementation of CryEngine, which means they can't understand 1.25, 1.5 etc. Only 1,2,3. You can test it yourself in game by launching it in devmode via a launch command -devmode and putting r_texturesstreamingSkipMips and then any number between 1 and 2, you will see for r_texturesstreamingSkipMips 1.25 it will return 1 as final value, for example. Instead, I would suggest using the command:
r_TexturesStreamingMipBias =
This command takes float values into account, and understands everything from -3 to 3 in 0.01 increments, as far as I can tell. I successfully applied mipbias 0.25 to resolve issues with my 8GB RTX3070 without hurting the texture quality too much. Mips at 1 is too compressed for my liking, that skips an entire level of quality, practically halving the resolution.
Of course it decrease because the quality of the textures logically decreases. In any case, if you want, try it and then decide whether it's worth it or not.
I doubt you'd get an FPS increase, the purpose of the mod is to decrease the amount of VRAM needed to run the game at low and medium details with a low amount of GPU VRAM.
I totally didn't expect it could work, but it did! I have an RTX 3050 4GB VRAM and the game runs at 90-100fps on low settings, the only drawback is that the CPU is much more loaded. Anyway thank u for this mod. <3

I updated the settings like this and it works very well for 6 gb laptop 3060. Thanks
In kuna i consumed 60% of RAM. With this mod, i consumes 45%.
Awesome.
