[OUTDATED] Resource & Texture Optimization - Thanks to Zimke

Do not install this pack after the last patch. Everything is included in the latest version.

Hey, a while ago Zimke who also made armors and stuff hit us with a pack of optimized textures and told us about a way to optimize the brf files that are currently in use.

Since he made us aware of things that can be done to hopefully get some extra performance without any visual losses i'd like to say thanks Zimke at this point.

The pack did not make it in yet and we redid all brfs the way he did to make sure they are up to date with the latest patch, the textures are all recompressed by him and should look identical to the current ones (I failed at that).
So all credit for the optimization goes to him.

If you have any performance issues or just wanna try if you get even better performance with this pack, please download:
and extract it into your modules/cRPG folder so it overwrites the files in Resource and Textures.

Let us know if this helps in anyway and please let us know if you notice any visual changes. (screenshot please)

If for some reason you want the original files back, just use the repair function in the cRPGLauncher.
If you use the final boss heirloom pack, please make sure that is installed before you overwrite with this pack.
Only the bow files will be overwritten though.

Feedback please and keep this bumped, stickies seem to be invisible to half the forum users :mrgreen:
Also tell your friends - We want this tested as much as possible.

Good.

Anything, to stop the annoying lagspikes during a fight, it always seems to happen in the most important seconds to me.

Well, I know.. "get a good PC", but still.

Even if you have a good PC there's no reason not to use optimized textures since they're essentially the same just better compressed.
Things don't exist simply because you believe in them, thus sayeth the almighty creature in the sky!

Wow for real?

meow do i have this ?? :)

Basically yes but you want to redownload this as it also includes textures and some of the brfs your version is missing.

Just overwrite, no need to remove the old one or anything.
