Other CPU Performance Patch (Up to 30% faster physics, up to 60% more FPS)

[Saint66]

First of, thank you very much, this is nice shit!

Only gripe so far: nipples are totally flat when using it!?!

Hello author~
After reading everyone’s experience, I feel very good~
But the CPU list above does not include the CPU I am using
Currently using 13700, can I use the 13700K setting? ? ?

I can see it in the list so its there.

computeColliders=6
skinmeshPart=1
affinity=1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15

computeColliders=4

Hello ~
I may not have seen it.
Does this mean that similar values can be applied? ?

 

[turtlebackgoofy]

Posting my results, I guess I'm not getting any crazy improvement, maybe because of the cpu?), Idk too much about this stuff kek

- patch v10 using:
computeColliders=4
skinmeshPart=1
affinity=1,3,5,7,9,11

(and yeah, I did check that the patch was running with the powershell thingy)
View attachment 332645

Baseline 3 saw a huge improvement tbh, from 37fps to 51fps and the physics time improved from 18.85ms to 13.10ms so thats something. Scenes with more than 1 character benefit most from it.

 

[turtlebackgoofy]

Ok I have run the benchmark 4 times. once with the patch decktop, once without the patch desktop, once in vr with the patch, once without.

With the Patch DesktopView attachment 332651
Clearly a huge difference of 35 fps. however the vr was weird. absolutely no difference at all

Thanks for sharing. VR appears to be tricky since vam waits for the VR engine of your headset driver after every frame (getting your position in VR and so on). I am getting the same behaviour and am investigating that.

 

[gghhoosstt123]

FX-6300... wow I am suprised VaM even starts. If you try the patch it will crash since you need AVX2 in your CPU. Wait for a non-avx2 version please.

Wow there will be a non-avx2 version too? that would be really helpfull, sure non avx2 might not have the same effect as avx2 but something is definitely better then nothing for me?

 

[trenqq]

Do you have BepInEx plugins installed? Do you have some weird session plugins? Does the benchmark run without my patch? Something weird is happening in your vam.




Your CPU doesnt support AVX2, the performance boost is mainly because of AVX2 optimizations, so you probably wouldnt have benefitted anyway. I will try to do seperate versions for older CPUs.

yes, I have an fx 6300 with 6 cores, I started with old patches, but the character models stood still
And with the new patches, the game crashes

Does anyone use 5600?
Or can I just follow the 5600x 3d instructions?

5600x is identical to 5600 except that it has higher clocks.

It got worse with this patch

Thank you, buddy! The performance improvement is noticeable enough! I didn't bother to run benchmarks, but thanks to you, I can use my PC longer and help protect the environment! XD

Is there any strain on the system now that all cores are activated? Excited to see how much performance improvement is achieved!

Try this
[threads]
computeColliders=4
skinmeshPart=3
affinity=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12

[threadsVR]
computeColliders=4
skinmeshPart=3

[profiler]

You should adjust this value
skinmeshPart=3

The 3d is not the same, it has different things.

From 20~30 FPS increased by activating all cores, at least in my case.

Nice!!!

I have only tried Desktop, but the performance increase is real. Hopefully, the VR issues will be resolved.

Thank you so much for such an amazing work. You saved old cpu users ^_^
But there is a problem with appearance loading, some morphs merges and hair too.

could you please post a screenshot of the bug and what steps you took for the bug to appear?

 

[Pahom]

Just appearance loading, some previous hair merges with a new one, morph can also, a penis on scene load is also shorter

hmm I have a suspicion, I will look into that.

your CPU downclocks hard if you use multithreading and has a tiny cpu cache, so its best to keep everything on one core and you get 4% faster physics time

Hello, I also use Ryzen 5 5600 and there is something that my brain just can't handle
"affinity=1,3,5,7,9,11"
5600 is a 6 core processor. Is affinity for cores or threads? (If for cores there is no 7-9-11 only 1-6)
I'm trying to use with SMT disabled, is like 1,2,3,4,5,6 okay?
Also I get stuff acting up like, boobs just playing tick-tock, thighs rotating back and forth. Is this physics messing up?

Thanks for the answers!

Hi! Thanks for the wonderful mod! Unfortunately, I have no changes
