Thanks Sally, this is exactly what I did and it worked! I would've given up long before coming up with this solution on my own. Huge thanks to all that helped

What are you, some type of sorceror????? I only test single-core and four-core thus far... single-core was bad. But... four-core, with every setting as high is it can go: You sir are a FREAKING genius. I cannot thank you enough. The level of satisfaction of finally resolving this is...

I've benchmarked the system. It's lightning fast in literally anything I've thrown at it, aside from VAM.

Scene with a single model, set on Ultra Low but also using GiveMeFPS (Recommended), I get 49 FPS while moving with model in view. From there, if I manually go in and turn every setting to max but leave MSAA to OFF, I get 42 FPS while moving with model in view. If I move MSAA to even 2x, I drop...

This damn application is driving me insane. I figured out a bunch of things that were causing issues, one of which was a bad sector on my NVMe, and things improved dramatically. Then, literally out of nowhere, the game runs TERRIBLE. 4x MSAA puts my 3080ti to 100% and drops FPS to 3 or 4. Yes...

It was an outlier, and worked after that. It was the identical error. I deleted the file.

VAMBO.couchgirl.1.var also gave the error. Seems to be named correctly

It's 90% of my vars giving this error now. I disabled caching and cleared the cache, but still getting the same errors. I'm going to have to wipe nearly my whole collection at this point. I'm at a loss for anything else to try

I restarted, but they're almost all giving that error. I did move it from a different VaM installation. Is there any known way to repair them?

I tried running this and immediately got an error: D:\VaM-Barebones>varbsorb --vam d:\vam-barebones Invalid var package name: 'Scamp.PyssyHairParadise.1 (1).var' Am I doing something wrong?

OK, I'm actually getting an error for a bunch of these in Package Manager. It says ".1 meta file is not valid" Any idea what that means?

When I use the scene browser menu, it shows a very small percentage of them. If I bring up the browse file menu, I can navigate that way. I guess I'll have to stop using the scene browser. Thank you for the help

I've seen others mention using subfolders within AddonPackages folder to better organize your library, however when I do this, VaM cannot find them. Am I doing something wrong? I also cannot find any good guide on what directories each type of file needs to go into... like environments...

I would love to optimize further! I just noticed one of my NVME drives was causing a bunch of errors in Windows. Not the drive with VAM but I imagine that still throws things off. I'm repairing it now and will test again later. @HOolySchmidt - I highly doubt it would be more than a 20%...

So... I figured it out. TToby, AWWalker, and others touched on it. I remember making a second copy of VAM to shrink down the resources, as my original copy is flooded. However, the performance was bad there, too. What I didn't do, and eventually realized this, is run VAMUpdater and download a...
