זה פוגע במשהו (גרפיקה)?

[Chris Bell]

this doesn't alter or affects  graphics or your settings

this actually helps your global FPS

by correcting textures with curtain known issues

which causes shutters and other visual artifact

 

users who used this tool are reporting huge FPS increase

especially with heavy's

 

the first link is an active discussion for the tool

looks like it won't backup the files before it does changes so I quickly back-uped these files. Applying the tool now.

[Chris Bell]

i believe that's the only reported flaw atm with this tool

 

let us know how this worked for you, my sim is still a mess

i haven't got around to str8 it up for testings

[Chris Bell]

to backup the files, make a batch file
in text editor

find

ALPHA ERROR IN:

and replace with

xcopy /s "

find

.bmp

and replace with

.bmp "C:\Backup

change .txt to .bat and run to save all file on the list
