Updated on August 21st:

Version 1.1

  • Added support for 1.11.240
  • Fixed a race condition that could cause a crash when saving

This module combines 4 archiving acceleration methods to increase the speed of fast archiving and normal archiving by up to 2 times.

Win32 I/O Buffering - S.L.A.C.K.

Background thread virtual machine serialization - seamless saving

String table cache - seamless saving

Compression codec exchange

This mod has been used in both flat and VR over the past few weeks on my own system and by testers without any issues.

To assess security, you can set bSafetyChecks=1 in the ini so that mod byte will verify each archive and log archive integrity (but this will negate the speed improvement).

To further speed up the game, you can also try

Faster loading screens

Faster file copying

Faster decompression

Faster cell lookup

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
