Description:

EDIT: Thanks to further research by the amazing Moonbunnie we now have an even more aggressive version in terms of performance improvement.

Improves the game performance by removing swathes of extremely unoptimized code that is ultimately irrelevant to the game functioning. Also enables more advanced plugins to run properly.

The performance gain is most noticeable on CPU constrained systems (given the atrocious "multithreaded" code the game runs on, almost everyone is CPU constrained unless they are using a Threadripper).

Works by removing the unnecessary CRC Code which repeatedly checks in-game memory region for bit errors. However as this regions are never touched and the game just crashes when an error in the region is detected (making error detection ultimately pointless) this code is entirely unnecessary and just a detriment to performance (given it's done repeatedly and checks for around 250KB regions 32 times per rotation it's a massive waste of CPU usage). The plugin has been tested to be stable up to 20 consecutive hours of playtime (confirmed to be stable for that long, probably will be for much longer and even indefinitely).
