About this mod
Downgrades Wukong's visuals and increases performance to almost 50 fps above the usual
- Permissions and credits
This mod is in contrast to the Enhanced Wukong Visuals mod, as it downgrades the visuals to save performance. In my testing, you could get almost 50 extra frames if you're willing to make the sacrifice.
This mod includes 3 presets:
Slightly: This preset downgrades the visuals in a minor way. The most noticeable changes are the shadows, render distance, and LODs. It won’t increase your frames by much, but you can expect around 8 extra FPS.
Considerably: This is the recommended preset. It downgrades the same aspects as above to a higher extent while maintaining decent visuals and gives around 12 extra FPS and is the most stable as you can see from the comparisons.
Significantly: I consider this preset a last resort for those who can't run the game at acceptable frames or have a very old PC. In my testing, this gave me around 50 extra frames, but at a significant sacrifice in graphical quality. The most noticeable change is the removal of shadows, which makes the game look very flat and dim. I don't recommend this unless you're desperate.
I know people are going to ask for the fog back. It’s in the optional files of my other mod, EWV. Grab the file and place it next to any of the presets, and the fog will be back. I recommend this since it can hide the imperfections caused by the downgrade.

Installation
Drop the pak file in b1\Content\Paks\~mods
Create the ~mods folder
Add the command -fileopenlog to your startup commands in steam
NOTE: Using the -fileopenlog command isn't ideal for an HDD because it forces the game to log every single file it loads while you're playing. This means it constantly reads and writes data, which can slow down an HDD. If you use an SSD, which is much faster at handling these frequent read/write tasks, you won't notice any performance drops.
