A Modest Memory Pool Booster for LML - Anti-Stutter Performance Booster

Description

Before using any stutter fix mods, if your game ever goes over 140~ FPS, you'll have horrible stutter due to an engine bug. Always cap your frame rate!

What this config does do:

• []Replaces the game's GameConfig XML using Lenny's Mod Loader.

  []Modestly raises a few of the game's various memory pool values.

  []Potentially reduces framerate hitches in busier locations and combat.

  []Increases VRAM and memory usage of the game. This WILL hurt performance if you're memory limited.

  What it does not do:

  • []Add an extra 0 to every memory pool. "More zeros = gooder" is a myth.

    []Fix the 140~ FPS stutter bug. It's an engine issue unfixable by mods.

    []Make a below min-spec toaster suddenly run the game.

    []Download more RAM or VRAM.

    Not intending to call anyone out, as lots of people do it. But every GameConfig replacer mod I've seen has quite drastically increased memory pools. Its always worth remembering that Rockstar wouldn't have done such conservative memory allocations unless it was for good reason. Typically people will double or triple pools, with some values even being multiplied by 10, because they think more is always gonna be better. Even just doubling up on a memory pool can be excessive, however. What I've learned from other games is that allotting too much memory to one specific task can risk instability, as too much memory being allocated for one specific task will sometimes hog resources from every other task. This may result in anything from stutters to even crashes.

    While these other GameConfigs did seem stable in my testing, I'm a paranoid son of a cowpoke. So I decided to make my own config replacement that doesn't go too hog wild. Sharing it because it helped me a bit and I didn't wanna lose it. Specifics in spoiler.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Will this hurt my FPS?

    No. Your average FPS will stay about the same. The stutters and hitches in it will (ideally) be less frequent, like they were in my testing.
