Compressed Textures Project

Description
This mod replace textures with "compressed ones".

Textures compressed to DXT5 and resize down:
  • for landscape from 2048 to 1024
  • for some other stuff from 4096 to 2048

Those changes will help to reduce loading time, will reduce stuttering and save some VRAM, so overall performance will get a massive performance boost.



Note:
  • This mod doesn't affect your save data and no import required.
  • To maintain maximum compatibility you should put this mod above all other mods.
  • A few screenshots come with "CSM" Shadows (instead of RTWSM).
  • Kenshi is getting crashed? — check here.

В данном моде выборочно пережаты текстуры ланшдафта и обьектов, чтобы сохранить компромисс между качеством картинки и влиянием на производительность.

Не секрет, что игра использует свыше 10Гб текстур, преимущественно размера 4096x4096px. Регулярный стриминг ресурсов подобного размера сильно замедляет общую работу приложения, особенно при подгрузке игровых регионов на системах без SSD, с видеокартами у которых не более 4Гб видеопамяти.

С целью уменьшения размера текстур был использован метод сжатия DXT5, а основные правила уменьшения разрешения текстур были такие:
  • 2048 > 1024
  • 4096 > 2048
  • Выборочные 2к и 4к текстуры не были затронуты, т.к. их пережатие значительно снижало качество текстур в самой игре.

Пережатые текстуры дадут небольшую прибавку к частоте кадров и значительно сократят время подгрузок текстур с диска в память.

FYI: when you go into hive buildings it crashes like 90% of the time, 100% of the time in the case of robotics shops. plus the infinite loading thing but that's usually fixed by reload/import.

uhm, I found out the textures in Kenshi are already compressed. for example a 2.7mb texture is 16mb uncompressed, 5.3mb with dxt5 compression and 2.7mb with dxt1 compression.

seemed like a notable performance increase first but then scenes wouldnt load (keep being paused, not loading completely)

my VRAM is never near full, is this still useful?

Can we get a version that does not size down the textures but just compresses them?

я прошу прощения, нужно ли что-то вручную делать? или подписался - скачалось и работает.

Thanks this mod is a MUST DOWNLOAD. It improved my loading times (playing on HDD) from 10 seconds in some zones to 5 seconds or so. Multi switching from characters in different areas also go from 1-5 seconds loading to instant to 1-2 second loading. It made the game from a loading simulator to almost instant loading for most zones. :steamthumbsup: :steamhappy:
