Optimisation?
How does the mod run when compared to vanilla?

Re: Optimisation?
That's probably too broad of a question to meaningfully answer. We turned off one vanilla optimization setting because it was causing LOS through walls and ceilings, so missions may load a little slower. We did a very significant rework of what the game archives and that sped up savegame loads massively (as they were getting big with all the stuff we added).

Is this the bug where aliens see / attack you through visibly solid walls / ceilings? If so this could be my favourite change right there - number of times I've taken cover by a 2 story wall and something on the wrong side of a sloped roof 2 buildings over somehow sees me through 4 walls and a floor! Do I take it this can that really be fixed by a mod?! I'd love this for the base game.johnnylump wrote:because it was causing LOS through walls and ceilings

I can't promise this is a 100% effective solution but it does seem to help a lot. This mod makes that change for vanilla: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =844147782OhGod wrote:Is this the bug where aliens see / attack you through visibly solid walls / ceilings?

Re: Optimisation?
Game seems to stutter a lot at loading missions and Avanger and loading times seem slightly longer (but that's to be expected and it doesn't really bother me; BTW hitting Caps Lock to speed up return from a mission still works ), but otherwise runs smoothly both in tactical and in Avanger.

Three suggestions for improving performance via menu options:
1) Disable V-Sync
2) Disable "Bloom"
3) Set AO to "Tile-AO"

4) Match your Graphic settings within the PC hardware capacities. Low-Res might be ugly but it helps.
5) Video-Card == most recent Driver.
6) Ram + SSD + solid Windows infra-structure + Turbo mode(s) via external Utilities.
