This Fallout New Vegas Mod rewrites over 1,000 functions to improve performance and reduce load/save times

Todd, I didn't know you were a Lemmy user.

If it brings me a few minutes more battery life on my steamdeck, it is worth it

Nah, with mods the lack of threading makes oblivion and fo:nv unplayable once you add on enough eye candy

I mean, isn't vanilla New Vegas pretty famously unoptimized? I think its performance has less to do with your hardware and more to do with the engine (hence this mod).

The achievement is less about the need, but more that someone did it.

I'd be equally excited if something optimized the shit out a PlayStation 1 game too.

It's not a toaster problem lol. Every time to enter a loading screen you pray the game doesn't randomly crash

My toaster of a desktop can easily run the game at pretty good framerates yet the game just sometimes decided to just crash like it's nobody's business.

Hell, it ran it just fine before getting an upgrade from 4gb to something like 16gb of ram, but the problem wasn't performance issues. Instead it was random crashing. Mods completely fixed that issue.

New Vegas is a pretty good game, but I wouldn't wanna play it unmodded because I don't wanna deal with random crashes.

But I mean, this isn't just for Vanilla New Vegas, is it? Plus New Vegas is known for being particularly unstable.

Try playing F.E.A.R without the performance mod, a 5800x3d and 4090 will only get a studdery mess and that game is from 04

I would if I could

The vanilla game is still Bella buggy, awesome, but hella buggy.
