Luxury Visuals - Texture Streaming Optimizations (TSO)

Do you also grow tired of watching Virtual Textures pop-into existence for 4-5 seconds every time you change areas in Imperial City? Me too! Now you can experience the pure joy of streaming ultra high res textures onto bricks that are way too far away for you to see them anyway much, much, faster than Bethesda or Virtuous or whoever made this mess intended. How much faster? That's right Todd, SIXTEEN TIMES FASTER!

If you also have the extreme first world problem of trying to run a 20-year-old Bethesda game on your modern high end PC, then this is the mod series for you! This is the second mod released in the "Luxury Visuals" series, a collection of mods aimed at maximizing the visual fidelity of Oblivion Remastered for higher-end systems, targeting true 4K HDR at 100+ FPS.

Luxury Visuals - TSO, focuses on tuning the games texture streaming system so it isn't so gosh darned slow.

What This Mod DOES:

• []Modifies the vanilla DefaultEngine.ini and DefaultDeviceProfiles.ini: This mod .pak will inject my updated versions of these two files with minor adjustments leaving the majority of the vanilla settings at their defaults. My goal was to change as little as possible while achieving measurable results. No placebo tweaks!

  []Moderately increases Streaming and Virtual Texture memory pools, and changes the LOD Bias for several texture groups:

  Increases the primary streaming pool size to 4gb (up from 3 at ultra settings)- Increases the default sizes of each Virtual Texture streaming pool (this will increase VRAM usage ~1-1. 5GB- Changes LODBias to 1, up from 0, for several Texture Groups that were loading ultra high res textures for things like bricks from halfway across the world.

• []Dramatically speeds up Virtual Texture Streaming:

  Increased throughput by changing MaxUploadsPerFrame to 64 up from a meager 4 updates per frame as the default setting. You could say it's now SIXTEEN TIMES FASTER.  I mean, you can actually say that because it's literally just 16 times faster. For real. Not just a meme. Actually 16x. The math checks out.

[]It is NOT a blanket fix for the games poor texture and shader optimization! All this mod does is load the poorly optimized textures the game shipped with faster so you aren't watching every stone in the floor load in 4 at a time from across Market District each time you enter the area.

[]It does NOT require OBSE, UE4SS, or any other external tools. Just install the .pak and launch the game!

[]It does NOT improve your FPS or completely remove stutte
