Startup Optimizer

Description

Tired of staring at a black screen before the main menu?

RE4R Startup Optimizer reduces the long startup wait caused by save processing, particularly when you have many save files.

The mod caches repeated calculations during startup. Your saves remain untouched, stay in their original location and remain available normally. Steam Cloud can stay enabled. Especially useful for modders, who have to reopen the game many-many times :) 

Two versions are available:

• []Standard — accelerates startup save processing while keeping the original intros.[/]

  []Skip Intro — includes the same optimization and advances the startup intros using the game’s own transition functions. No replacement video files are used. Intro screens may briefly flash as they are skipped.[/]

Installation instructions

• []Fluffy Mod Manager - Import your chosen archive into Fluffy Mod Manager and enable it while the game is closed.[/]

  []Manual installation - Extract your chosen archive into the game’s root folder.[/]

  Tested on the supported latest Steam executable. Modified executables and other game builds are currently unsupported.
