I Need More Image Quality
Make sure your encoding in Oculus, Virtual Desktop and/or Steam Link are set to manual bit rate
Consider enabling DLAA if you are a Nvidia user as they provide better anti-aliasing than TAA, and reduces shimmering, at the cost of 5-10% performance
16 - 24GB VRAM users can consider replace the Luxor 2K version with 4K version
I Need More FPS
Make sure Steam VR resolution is always set to 100%, for Meta/Pico only change device resolution through Oculus software or better yet, Virtual Desktop
AMD users: reduce resolution and/or use included FSR mod
Nvidia users: Try DLSS or DLAA + FSR, or reduce resolution
Disable Reshade if you need more FPS
I strongly recommend Virtual Des... -

Updating to New Version and Add New Mods
Updating to New Version
With the exception of major version upgrades like 2.0, I will never break a save intentionally
It is however not possible to predict save stability if you added/removed mods, or test every iteration of every save game. Review change log and make changes manually is always the safest way to update the list and keep the changes you made
You can use in front of installed mods like " Better Settlers" to keep them from being removed, however you will still need to manually put them back into load order
