!ACG Submod Performance

Compatible with 3.0.*
Save game compatible
NOT Achievement compatible

This is the addon patch for Aesthetic Cinematic Gameplay (ACG) that reverts i.e. removes some graphical quality improvement features included into ACG, that can lead to worse performance during watching huge space battles if you are not running Stellaris + ACG with a good hardware setup.

Right now this mod only reverts the graphical improvements for fighters and bombers strikecraft of ACG i.e. it removes the attached turrets which are placed on every fighter/bomber with ACG for graphically aesthetical reasons. So with ACG main mod all strikecraft will have turrets attached to them because it's more immersive and provides a better graphical look of fighters/bombers.

With this mod enabled your strikecraft fighters and bombers will NOT have those turrets anymore and will look like vanilla again. This can lead to a slight performance boost if you are experiencing lag during watching space battles. So if you are experiencing any lag during watching huge space battles with a lot of strikecraft or if you are generally running stellaris on a low-end hardware setup and/or don't care about those graphical ACG features for fighters/bombers then i recommend to activate this mod together with ACG.

Please be aware i personally do not use this mod because my hardware can handle the new graphical features well and ACG is already very well optimized regarding performance even without this mod enabled. So this is really only for players who do have performance issues during watching space battles and who need to get the maximum performance boost even at some graphical features cost.

Last but not least: this mod won't help with any lag caused by other engine-limitations like overpopulation during late game. it only mainly helps for watching space battles without lag if you are experiencing lag.

This mod can be turned on and off at any time and with any save-game where you used ACG. So you can try to run ACG without this mod and if you start to experience any performance issues during watching space battles you can consider to turn this mod on, so it might help you to get a slight performance boost beyond performance improvements that are already included into ACG

you need to subscribe and activate this mod together with Aesthetic Cinematic Gameplay if you want to use Aesthetic CInematic Gameplay with vanilla strikecraft graphics
