📋 About This Mod

Because this mod changes textures size and compression to save VRAM, you likely need to clear shader cache that were saved against the original 4K texture. In order to do so go into graphic setting, reset shader cache, restart the game, shader will be reset and build again. You might also need to clear your directX cache.

Cleaning your GPU Driver Cache is possibly needed as well before resetting shader cache:

  • []NVIDIA Users: Go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\NVIDIA\DXCache and delete all files inside. (Skip any that say "In Use").

    []AMD Users: Open AMD Software, go to Gaming > Graphics > Advanced, and click Reset Shader Cache.

    This mod resizes playable characters textures from 4K down to 2K to reduce VRAM usage.

    It is intended for users with GPU limited to 4GB VRAM to reduce VRAM usage and that plays at 1080p, this mod won't help if you have a GPU with less than 4gb VRAM.

    No matter the GPU, this will saves VRAM, possibly reducing stutters, it won't help you gain fps.

    The following textures folders and filetype were not processed because I forgot them:

    -MatOverride

    -HDR texture

    -2DArray textures
