Speed & Stability mod - for increased performance

[Adorno1]

Do you have an old PC and run on low settings? This mod can increase overall performance - mostly in native or similar.
I tested it and it really does lower the FPS rate. I don't know about stability since I don't have issues with that...

It's made by Maxhardman at Taleworlds. Here's the thread (he's not that good at English):

Mod Speed&Stability 1.0 for v.1.011

Author: MAXHARDMAN.

- improve Native game speed and stability.
- fix or reduce number RGL error’s with vertex buffer memory.
- include improved version my “RGL Error – Missiles Fix”.
- if you don’t need speed , you may increase units number.

Mount&Blade used LODs (Level Of Detail) system for improve game performance but unfortunately not all models have LODs .
I make LODs for all other models in game ( more then 300 ) .

Same gamers ( and I too ) have RGL error’s with vertex buffer memory.
Then on screen to many objects with high polygons, video card don’t enough video memory , reduce number polygons fix this problem .

Mod may not really help if you use other mod with many new items and textures.
For sorry most modders not make LODs for his mods .
But mod anyway increase Speed & Stability.

INSTALLATION : run Speed&Stability_1.0.exe and choose <Mount&Blade v1.11> folder.

UNINSTALLATION : run S&S_Uninstall.exe and choose <Mount&Blade v1.11> folder.

About effectiveness my mod :
I use program 3DAnalyze to log parameters in game , so I must say PPS ( polygons per second ) drop in 2-3 time ! I test in open field ( quick battle 4 ) with 400 units ( 240 horseman ) In Native PPS was from 6-10 Mln polygons , after I install S&S PPS drop down to 3-5 Mln polygons !

Notice the installation - exe. - directly in the m&b folder, with possibilty to uninstall.
