1.5.0!

New stuff:

  • Startup Warning Dialog Fix - Fixes a dialog that either fails to be created or fails to appear and causes the game to look like it's black screened, made by @just-harry
    This and the CPU Optimization and Expanded Crash Log patches are now enabled by default (thank you @swiffyjk for this and some banger readme changes!!)
  • Disable Store Featured Items Download - Blocks the game from downloading the featured store items listing, preventing thumbnail downloads into the FeaturedItems folder.
  • Uncompressed Compositor Textures - Forces material compositor textures to use uncompressed A8R8G8B8 instead of DXT1/DXT5. Similar to the Sim Textures patch but for other things, DXVK is recommended to avoid memory issues.
  • Lighting Quality Patch - Improves interior lighting: higher lightmap resolution, softer shadows, blur and a janky multisamping.
    Highly recommend playing with the various lighting settings in the settings tab alongside this as you can DIY your own lighting mods and lighting is fun and neat and cool.
    The last three are experimental patches, they'll graduate into proper patches eventually.

Updates/Changes:

  • Update to smooth patch precise with help from @LazyDuchess, a few things tweaked and a new option to only tick at most once per frame.
  • Intersection optimisation patch removed (RIP), this wasn't a wise patch to begin with and ended up breaking a few things (was faster because it just threw out half of its calls)
