📋 About This Mod
DON'T FORGET TO MAKE A BACK UP BEFORE REPLACING "regulation.bin".
Hello everyone, I'm not a modder but i like this game and with it's current state it's unplayable to some people because of FPS drops and stutters, I made this mod with try and error so please feel free to give me your feedback and i'll try to do my best to reach best performance.
Here you can download one of five packages:
No Grass, Low LOD, Low Grass Range, Low LOD + Low Grass Range, and Low LOD + No Grass.
Note:
This mod works only on offline mode, DON'T USE IT IN ONLINE MODE OR YOU WILL BE BANNED!.
This mod updated to patch v1. 05.
Note:
At first I would like to make it clear that I have all the appreciation and respect to all of you and do not mean to offend at all, when I started trying to present this MOD.. I was suffering from FPS drops and stuttering just like you and maybe more, So i decided to try to understand how to improve performance by searching on the Internet and watching some videos in order to at least know where to start, and thank God that i have done this work as good as i can and I published it for the benefit and enjoyment of all players, but recently I received many responses and messages asking me about what values I changed and the names of the files and how to merge them.
Here I want to clarify that I do not have much time now and that every time a new update is released to the game i update the files to keep pace with this update by modifying more than 50 files to suit everyone and to make it easier for many who do not know how to do it themselves.
So if you know what you're doing you can extract all the information you want from the uploaded files and merge it with your files, but I am not responsible for any problem that may occur, I hope you will excuse me and wish you health and happiness always, thank you.

Update 2:
If you want more performance you can disable "Volumetric Effect" and other settings from the config file:
But you can try it if you still need more performance and stutter-less
