1PP 4.20? Also, a question about the performance impact of the mod.

16 June 2019 - 07:23 AM

  Hello there, I've just started modding Baldur's Gate for the first time recently and decided to go with the Baldur's Gate Trilogy mod as well as this graphics mod. Excuse me if I'm asking stupid questions, but here I go.

 

  Apparently there's a 4.20 version of this mod on github, but it's rather bizarre as it has no installation .exe nor does it have a config file to install properly. What's up with this? All the github links to the config are dead and it just isn't the download. Was this for real or just some bizarre dead end? is 4.10 still the real version of the mod?

  On to my question about performance now, so I've pretty much installed everything in the mod and it just ruined the game's performance big time. The moment I order characters to move about, the framerate crawls to single digit numbers. My computer should be more than capable to handle the game, so I highly doubt the issue is hardware. Tried installing just a few components at a time to find out what the massive framerate killers are and "Increased paperdoll object variety" really did a number on performance. So I tried installing the mod without it and still the game tanked in framerate. In the end I had to go with a very minimal installation to keep the game playable. Still, kinda miffed about having to limit everything. Am I doing something wrong? Is there some sort of trick or feature that needs to be done to make everything work properly?
