NORAM Adjust v1.0.0

Summary

• Initial release: NOLoader mod that pre-allocates a 5300 MB managed RAM reservoir at the main menu
• Reduces GC stutter by keeping a stable managed memory footprint during gameplay
• Works for solo, host, and dedicated client sessions
• Zero IL patches — no PatchTool required

Install

1. Install NOLoader (RDYTU or DEV_SDK)
2. Download NORAMAdjust-v1.0.0-NOLoader.zip below
3. Extract to Nuclear Option\NOLoader\mods\NORAMAdjust\
4. Launch the game — at the main menu look for [NORAMAdjust] reserved=5300MB in logs

Configuration

Edit mod.ini in the mod folder:

Key	Default	Description
enabled	1	Enable/disable reservoir allocation
memory_reservoir_mb	5300	Target size in MB (5.3 GB decimal)
chunk_mb	64	Allocation chunk size

Compatibility

Do not run alongside MpClientOpt with memory_budget=1 — both mods reserve managed RAM (~10+ GB combined).

Test plan

• Main menu loads without errors
• Log shows [NORAMAdjust] reserved=5300MB
• Task Manager: ~+5.3 GB managed RAM vs baseline
• Memory released on game exit
