This game was causing me struggles to hit 40fps, even when other more demanding games breeze away with ultra settings at 120 or higher on my machine. This mod allowed me an 8-12fps increase and it's definitely smoother playing. I don't know why this game causes my machine to struggle so much. Seeing many reports that others are experiencing it as well. Try this mod if you're experiencing slowness or stuttering. It just may be what helps you for now until the devs release a patch.
I can confirm it works on the Steam Deck. I can't exactly tell by how much because the game is capped at 30fps. But I've been able to increase the render scale. And change the render from XeSS to TSR that was a significant drop before.
Edit: playing with this settings on the deck is quite decent: https://imgur.com/a/xOGbmaX
TL;DR - Yes, this mod helped me improve ingame performance, reduce stutter and make the game more playable.
Longstory:
I've tested this mod in the area I had most performance issues, forgotten battlefield. Without the mod, I just barely had 60 fps in roaming mode and it would often drop to 45-50 fps in combat. Most other areas in the game I had always roughly 60fps in combat, but with terrible stuttering.
After I tested the game with the mod, I always had atleast stable 60fps in most areas, whilst being in combat, with the exception of forgotten battlefield, where I was at just at 55-60 fps, but the stuttering was very minimal.
DISCLAIMER: This mod won't work miracles, if you play on a potato, but it helps by a lot. With the exception of one area in the game, my stuttering was at an all time low and I probably wouldn't have noticed any stuttering at all, if my AMD Software didn't tell me there was some.
I want to mention that the reason I have technical issues with this game is because of a lack in CPU power, that doesn't match the recommended requirements, it's not a GPU problem for me. So perhaps your experience with this mod could turn out even better.
Do not care too much about the people in the comments who says this mod does not work. Give it a try and... if it works it works.
I tend to be very skeptical of these types of mods, but omg this actually works! I was already getting a stable 60 fps but when I use a reshade I dropped in the fifties with tons of stutters. This mods fixes it! Thank you so much, I will try your oblivion mod once I am done with this game
Can this be used in conjunction with ClairObscurFix? That mod has cutscene framerate adjustments and sharpening controls, both of which are valuable modifications.
With or without this mod, i have tested the very beginning area where you start the game, the stuttering is like the game is rebounding you, like thje camera moves forward and backward so fast it stutters. I have tested numerous settings in game as well, and no solution. Scoured the internet for solutions as well, and none of the peoples settings seem to fix the issue. its very common when running in the area, mostly every 10-15 seconds a stutter occurs.
Video of it, i can actually load my save and every time i move forward it will do this, and also if i run around the square in a circle it will occur again.
Hi Just wanted to check if this mod works with the "Ultimate Engine Tweaks (Anti-Stutters - More Performance - Lower Latency - Better Clarity - Lossless)" Mod by P40L0
-It's incompatible with other optimization/performance/tweaks mods. So don't combine them.
-You should not use other .pak or .ini files for performance tweaks/improvements, etc. Just to avoid any overrides and side effects. You're fine with using other types of mods. (it doesn't matter if they're done through .pak or .ini files, but what they do)
Boost file is great for fps but lighting seems very of and shadows are basicly full darkness. I know it's the biggest gain but would it be worth to make a boost file without touching the lighting ?
Lumen Global Illumination is disabled in the BOOST mod - the main source of fps gains. I had to change Skylight intensity, because some areas like the Manor would look overbright: https://i.imgur.com/jT6mH66.png
but i have 1 question, is there any way to increase the asset streaming size or something? even on epic setting some of the textures are low quality even tho i have half of my vram not utilized and and have 20-30 percent gpu utilization left
for reference im onlying on dx 11 (nvidia decided not to give full dx 12 on my laptop gpu)
Hello, I wanted to ask if this is compatible with the Remove Volumetric Fog - Bloom mod by Gantz79? I understand that your description says no compatibility with other performance mods, but I wasnt sure if removing bloom counts as performance based so I thought I would ask. Thanks!

If you hang on the start screen, deleting .upipelinecache and .ushaderprecache files located in %LocalAppData%\Sandfall\Saved
should solve the issue.

NB : My bad, I did'nt read it right, the mod does not work with other tweak .pak files, not all .pak files... Sorry !

Read the changelog on the mod's description page.
