this mod is not updated from 2020 but seems working anyway, it boost my fps letting me play decently on my notebook

turns the mist in front of the boat into cubes. it wouldnt bother me much if i couldnt really see it through the periscope. if you dont mind that then i think it works great. lately ive just set all the graphic setting to minimum aside from anti aliasing and reflections and i get between 120 and 35 fps LOL even going down to 720p doesnt really help. i uncapped the fps though seems to be less stuttering.

Pls just make it minuume

hello, can you please squeeze it even harder or tweak something, I want to play on my laptop(

There's a problem with the foam at the front of the boat, while moving.
It's displayed as lots of white squares.

Does it still work?

that work ?

Please fix. It was one of the best mods for playing.

Work?

@Menace update pls...

pls fix

@McDewgle ROFL good show my friend. I admit I clicked the link before I read further down. I LOLd for real. Love it!

nether work

@Nicktrains, yes the author created a new version which you can find here

does this still work? I am having problems with b131

This mod no longer works

Can you please update the mod to B130?

In B128 preview 18 this still seems to work partially but has the effect of rendering all hairstyles bald and making a lot of clothing options unavailable - everybody seems to want to wear a black shirt!

does the mod work on newest version [if not on wut version does it work]

What versions is this compatable with?

@No Toilet Paper | Boy Unsubscribe from the mod, then resubscribe to it and see if it happens. All this mod does is use the same textures in the game, but significantly reduces the size in a lossless form.

I've been using this mod for a few weeks but recently came across a problem where in the loading screen between the main menu and my saved game the game music will shutter and the game will not progress loading. This mod was the only mod installed. I then disabled the mod and was able to load up fine. My version was the recent B126 with the game reinstalled the night before. Performance Plus was the only mod activated both times.

@Menace I will try that and let you know if it does not work

@CaptFromHTX Try having my mod load first, then the texture mods that you want to be active (drag the mods around in the launcher). See if that works.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, sorry if repeating, but when I enable your mod, it deactivates uboat skin mods I have and makes the boat blank metal. Wasn't sure if you were aware of this?

it happens some of the time, and no your mod doesnt cause this

@Freek (🎨+🔧) Yea, I can't seem to change obj files. Each time I've tried it doesn't do anything. I agree, the Unity engine doesn't like open world games. Even Battletech, which is also made with Unity, shares some common issues with Uboat.

From my experience textures just fill ram, but i also feel an effect on the fps. The work of the gpu mainly consists of rendering and calculations for effects. So the more models (which nearly all are equipped with effects) are leaded the more work for the gpu. Personally i think the main thing for increasing performance is a combination of compressing textures, low poly meshes and low particle count.

And somehow i feel the Unity engine doesn't likes open world games ;) seems it is not good in handling so much 3d data at a time. The management takes very much resources, even on high end systems.

@Metzger you just talking about uboat in general? All P+ does right now is just change textures, I doubt it's that which is causing it.

When I close U-Boat it takes my entire computer down with it.

@Rogue One ツ Yea there might not be much of a difference. It was more of a trial and error thing. Logically, the GPU should have an easier time handling the textures though since they are significantly smaller in size. This really only benefits potato computers I would imagine.

I appreciate your work but there was no difference.....

@>TVG< Vendetta I kind of wonder if the CPU issue is just mostly because of how Unity handles it. I noticed the same thing with Battletech as well. The Time Compression is a lot better now than what it was a while back, that's a definite plus.

@menace correct, while inside the Uboat and outside view behind the boat (need for speed view)

The CPU Usage is maxed out, but i dont think the textures are the problem, maybe the game calculates Every enemy Convoy in 100km Distances ?

With patch 1.26 - 2 the Time Compression is more stable by the way

Can others confirm is this is helping their in-game performance? Especially involving GPU usage?

@>TVG< Vendetta Hmmm.. when you mean time compression during closeups. Is that while you're inside the uboat, or while you're near the uboat on the outside? Both? I notice the same issues as you, trying to think of a way to fix that with what I'm allowed to mod.

hmm, i dont think so.

The biggest lags are during View changig from Orbit to Close-Up and when i use time Compression during Close-Ups.

The Animation of the "boat stripping" the Sides to enable the view to the inside is the biggest problem so far.

Would removing objects (models) in the game be a bit too much to increase performance? This would include things like things at the dock, like the oil trailer, guard posts, etc.

@>TVG< Vendetta Hmmm alright. What's your computer specs if I may ask?

hey, with 1.25 i had to remove the MOD because it crashed when i switched from orbit to FP.

Memory Usage and CPU (OLD PC/ LOW SETTINGS) was not different, performance was the same sadly

Can others confirm that this mod is helping performance? Or not? This should really only benefit people with older and not top-of-the-line hardware.

@Chief Justice John Roberts, I removed officer uniforms from it, among other hotfixes I had to do. It should be alright now.

@Chief Justice John Roberts I'll think about removing the uniform textures, since that's the one that would impact the bulk of the mods I believe. That should also cover grey wolves.

@Chief Justice John Roberts Sorry, that means I'd have to do it for all other mods, which would be a lot of work. That's something I'm not going to do.

It would be great if you could incorporate other texture mods into it bc otherwise it works great

I still noticed a flag texture mod, but the performance mod overrides the grey wolves texture pack, that’s all I could notice.

@Chief Justice John Roberts, Those are using their own textures. The one texture type I haven't touched in this is the flag textures. When you use this mod and their mods, does this mod override their mods, or vice versa?

Doesn't seem to be compatible with other texture mods like the grey wolves texture pack, is there anyway this can be fixed?

Anyone having issues with the mod yet? So far so good?

@AoD_lexandro sounds good, I'm glad it's helping. I'll keep adding to it.
