Please make sure that you have ALL the packs downloaded before making a decision on performance, it is all or nothing with this.
IMPORTANT (For users with Hybrid Hard drives aka SSHD drives) Due to the the way the "Intelligent" caching system functions. You will need to load and reload the game an unknown number of times before the controller deems the new Texture archives as relevant to be cached to notice ANY improvements. In fact due to the way these caching systems function, you WILL see a decrease in load times until the files have been loaded enough times to be cached in the SSD cache portion of your SSHD compared to what you have been running (As more then likely those vanilla archives were cached long ago). This can not be forced or bypassed. Just keep running the game, or try closing and opening the game then loading a save (multiple times), For SSHD users it will get faster by weeks-end if you are an avid player.
SDD - TRIM the drive
HDD - (pure "spinner" drives) Defrag the drive
VERIFY here are the file sizes you should see in your data folder if you have them installed correctly.
So after I press enter, without customizing the character because i cant see with what buttons,,,then I open the console and type slm 14, then i can customize the character, as the buttons show up now....its extremely weird, on an unmodded game. I absolutely have no idea why is it happening. Clean game without mods, just this supposedly unrelated to the interface texture downsampling mod.
No other mods, or creation club content,,,or any other folder in the data folder besides the necessary unmodified videos folder and the main game files replaced by this mod.
The only thing I didnt try is a clean install again, maybe the settings got messed up ? I never touched any setting, left them as they are by default.
But, the interesting thing is, after restarting and starting a new game forthe 5th time the buttons show up without the console....im not sure its related to this mod...BUT, ive nothing else added.
--unrelated to the issue. Ive always used this mod and since I found it, and before the other one like this on nexus. thats why I start with this first. having constant smooth fps is much nicer than having vanilla textures. theres also virtually no graphical difference.
I really love this mod since the performance gain is fantastic - and it's a must have for low range PCs anyway.
So far only the UI files have been identified as failure, which is pretty good for a project of this volume.
Therefore having the '1K Textures (6 of 9)' being updated or a downloadable Fix (BC7 too but extracted file format) for UI files being posted would be awesome and very, very much welcome.
@pendannadnep Performance is equal or better than PhyOp - Performance(Light) Option, as in 0-4 fps better :D (using this with ~60 mods at low settings, 1080p, windowed full-screen)
I would note that PhyOp's has textures he also labels Potato and they are only 3.7 GB in size. If have really bad machine those may help some people but the texture quality is going to be terrible. PhyOp's also has DLC replacement textures.
Edit: I've found a workaround. If you extract the Interface folder from the vanilla Fallout - Textures6.bsa using the Archive2 tool that comes packaged with the Creation Kit you can simply paste the files into your Textures folder to overwrite the broken files in the mod.
When I attempted the above fix with the B.A.E utility here on the Nexus, the game would crash when the looksmenu UI would attempt to load.
i would like to know what was done exactly ?
just optimised , or size change ?
In a nutshell. BC1 would be like saving a bitmap as a jpg. BC7 would be like saving your bmp as a png (more or less)
I redid a lot of the textures using original and modded textures all over again. I saved as BC5 all these grass textures as well as reducing some 2k to 1024 diffuse and normal and generally dropping Specular to half the size of the normal.
But my performance was much worse than the BC1 version I had created earlier.
Idk, maybe bc7 does something different?
Absolutely stunning work! Please, do Far Harbor too! Thank you!
