Performance Optimizer v4
Description
Optimizes performance and reduces stuttering by setting the game to a higher priority and improving memory usage management.
Installation Instruction Part 1:
– Make sure you’ve installed Ultimate ASI Loader first (see Requirement).
– Download Part 1 of this mod and unzip it.
– Copy RDR2Perfoptimizer.asi
– into your main Red Dead Redemption 2 game folder – the same folder that contains RDR2.exe
– Right click RDR2.exe -> Go to Compatibility Tab -> Check “Run this program as an Administrator” -> Apply -> OK.
– Launch the game and load into Story Mode.
Part 2:
– Make sure you’ve installed LML.
– Download Part 2 of this mod and unzip it.
– Copy Performance Optimizer Config folder into the lml folder.
To uninstall, just delete:
RDR2Perfoptimizer.asi from your game folder.
Performance Optimizer Config folder from the lml folder.
Features
– CPU Higher priority: Tells Windows to treat RDR2 as more important than other programs, so it gets more CPU attention.
– GPU Higher priority: Tells Windows to treat RDR2 as more important than other programs, so it gets more GPU attention.
– Automatic core detection: Figures out your CPU’s actual layout on its own.
– (ExcludeCores) Picking specific CPU cores: Lets you keep the game off certain CPU cores instead of using all of them for example, avoiding a core that’s busy with background tasks which can help smooth out stutter.
– (ExcludeEfficiencyCores, off by default) Lets you skip weaker cores on newer CPUs: Some newer Intel chips mix powerful cores with weaker, more efficient ones. This option keeps the game on the powerful cores only.
– No power saving throttling: Stops Windows from quietly slowing the game down to save power.
– Better memory use: Helps Windows hold onto game data already in memory instead of constantly re-reading it from disk – fewer hitches when new areas load in.
– No sleep interruptions: Stops your PC from falling asleep or turning off the display while you’re playing.
– Switches Windows active power plan to High Performance to Optimize Performance.
– Performance tweaks.
– It will auto generate RDR2Perfoptimizer.ini (and the .log) into the game folder after the first time run.
NOTE:
If you’re using an older CPU with only 4/6 core, disable CPU affinity by setting Enabled=0 under the [Affinity] section in the .ini file.
