it is key to disable "Flush GPU", with this option enabled I was getting around 70-80 FPS with my Ryzen 9 3900X and RTX 2080S and after disabling "Flush GPU" I have 100-110 FPS

@Azurevie Loud, since they're not intractable. Stealth bodies are props so they will stay
Azureh 13 Dec, 2022 @ 6:12pm 
about the Low Violence Mod, does it remove bodies in stealth or just for loud?
