Compatibility
=============

Requires Kingdom Come : Deliverance version 1.2 or +


Installation
=====================

-Click properties on the link to your KC:D and add
-heapsize 1572864 +exec user.cfg
for example
"C:\Steam\Kingdom Come Deliverance\Bin\Win64\KingdomCome.exe" -heapsize 2097152 +exec user.cfg
or
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\KingdomComeDeliverance" -heapsize 2097152 +exec user.cfg
or
for Steam go to your Steam library, right click on the game. Then click "Properties", and then insert the -heapsize 1572864 under Launch options.

Note : 1572864 is for 8Gb RAM ; if you have more use a higher number instead. If you don't know how much RAM you have, you can check it by right-clicking Computer->then select Properties->installed memory
Note : +exec user.cfg will launch the customized file.



-Download and unzip the user.cfg file, copy it to the root of your game folder.
for example
C:\Steam\Kingdom Come Deliverance      or      C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\KingdomComeDeliverance
(or in the mod folder)

Note : If you need to know if you have a core i5 or i7 or AMD processor, you can check it by right-clicking Computer->then select Properties->processor


-If you have a version of KCD below v1.6, then download    BES cpu limit       (thanks for mion /Rinkanali, i hope that they don't mind the link)
Launch your game
Open BES, click the "Target" button, select KingdomCome.exe, select "Limit This", set it to -1% with the slider, click the "Limit/watch" button, click "Yes", click "Close", reduce the BES window.
Enjoy !

-If you have a version of KCD below v1.6, and find that one of your CPU is highly used while other aren't, to balance things open windows task manager->processes tab->right click KingdomCome.exe->Set Affinity->untick the most used CPU->ok->right-click again->add the tick back.
I am still trying to do it automatically with CryEngine (user.cfg).


- If you installed an old version of this mod before, remove (see Removal section) or replace it first.

Additional notes

About heapsize :

Source : https://steamcommunity.com/app/379430/discussions/0/1700542968200557000/?ctp=11       "I can assure you that it DOES. When I remove the line my fps drops an average of 10 frames, and game studders."
I am 100% sure that Windows uses heapsize when set in the launch options, since i had a KC:D crash once with a heapsize value too high with a Windows error message telling that heapsize was set too high. Nobody told that it was for Cryengine.

Cursor settings (the dot in the middle)
wh_ui_ShowCursor 0 -- get rid of the dot
wh_pl_showfirecursor = 1 -- dot for bow only

HD textures: you need at least 3Gb VRam

Shading :
! Warning ! Do not use with Athlon x2 ! https://steamcommunity.com/app/555400/discussions/0/144512753470228298/
Use it only if you really need fps, because when i tried it there was lightning on some walls instead of shadows.
e_svoTI_Active = -1
