BayTurtle's More FPS
This mod attempts to increase the overall FPS and performance in large battles.
How much of an improvement
For the FPS improvement to be noticable, you likely need very big battles (150+ units). However, when you have a large battle in action, the FPS improvement is definitely noticable. In some cases, I got 23+ FPS with every optimization on (which is the default setting) compared to the same exact battle with the mod disabled, which makes the game a lot smoother. However, everything obviously depends on your computer and other mods installed.
The config automatically has all 8 optimizations enabled, but you can disable any in the config file.
Sacrifices to be made
When using this mod with all optimizations enabled, the unit AI may perform worse, as that's the least optimized part of the game and what the mod mostly focuses on optimizing. I, however, did not notice much of a difference myself, but, once again, it all depends on your setup and how much you pay attention to the AI.
I tried to make it as unnoticable as possible, but there will obviously always be tradeoffs, even if small.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
