📋 About This Mod
VMMWSGC runs EmptyWorkingSet() when various scenarios occur in HBS' Battletech, such as autosaves, saving games, loading games, and at the beginning of the first round in a contract. This reduces the private working set of the Battletech process to a few hundred MiB from multi-GiB. Battletech will then reallocate the necessary memory for the private working set. This mod is targeted at large modpaks such as RogueTech, BTAU, and BEX which may add significant memory overhead with their additional features, models, etc.
Drop the mod in your BATTLETECH\Mods folder.
