Q: How does this mod work?FAQ
Fallout Priority elevate the game process priority by calling the WinApi SetPriorityClass.
And higher priority can help the game compete for CPU from other processes.
So your game will run more smoothly and responsively and have fewer lags.
Q: Work on the previous version of F4SE/VR?
There's no F4SE Version Checking in plugin.
And the implementation of this mod is version independent.
So it should work on all F4SE/VR version.
Q: Fallout VR Support?
I don't have VR. But it should work as Skyrim Priority SE AE does.
Q: Can you make this mod use Address Library so you don't have to update?
Address Library is a awesome plugin.
But it's only for version independent game object address searching.
And Fallout Priority doesn't need to interact to game objects.
So this mod don't need it, and is already version independent.
Q: Is this mod compatible with XX?
Compatible with everything.
Q: Does this mod support Linux OS? (Steam Deck)
No, currently this mod is for Windows only.
Q: So how do I know if this mod is working?
After game startup. You can open Task Manager by press "Ctrl+Shift+Esc". Go to Details Tab.
