Multi-Mod Stutter & Runtime Optimization

With many content mods enabled, the game repeatedly scans mod files, parses CSV tables, loads textures, and rebuilds large UI lists on the title screen, during save loading, when entering a map, and whenever the crafting list is opened. This mod provides two optimization modes that can be used independently. 1. Non-overwrite local main.lua mode This mode works immediately after subscription and does not modify the game installation. The script consolidates duplicate Girls' Frontline compatibility workers, reduces redundant Protocol Assimilation equipment checks, and preserves the original functions of other mods. It is safe and easy to remove, but the engine loads CSV tables and textures before main.lua runs, so this mode cannot bypass that first native preload. 2. One-time overwrite-file solution Follow the Patch Instructions and copy both Assembly-CSharp.dll and WLE. ModCachePatch.dll into the game's Managed folder. The patch records each save's active mod set, file sizes, and modification times, then stores the merged tables and crafting manifest in a local cache. An unchanged setup loads the cache directly; an updated setup applies only new or changed tables. Data for old items and characters remains available after a mod is removed, while recipes from unsubscribed mods are removed from the crafting menu. The crafting screen still recalculates inventory, direct and indirect materials, and learned recipes in real time, keeping currently craftable entries at the top. UI rows are reused through object pooling instead of being destroyed and recreated on every category switch. The first run—and the first run after mod changes—must build the cache once; later save loading and crafting-list opening are where the speedup applies. Important: the overwrite patch is tied to a specific game build, and both DLL files must be installed together. Restore the original assembly after a game update and wait for a compatible patch.
