Any tips for making a heavily modded X4 perform better? (lags)

Post by fraeulein78 »

I tried "Lossless Scaling" which helps a bit but with a lot of ships and own stations plus almost all sectors explored and with satellites added the game will lag like hell.

My rig is ok. i14900k, 96 GB RaM, RTX 4090 24 GB etc.

I've moved this over to the Scripts and Modding forum for you.

As a general rule the game is CPU limited, and to a lesser extent by memory (performance, not quantity), rather than by the GPU. If your mods increase the CPU workload, which they usually do, then there isn't much you can do to mitigate that other than using a faster CPU and/or faster memory. Note that in certain very busy locations, the GPU may come under heavier load and benefit from lower settings, but that will be the exception rather than the rule.

First if u modded your game alrady , get the mods for the satelite range.
and remove all your normal sats.
in my modded games at the point where i startet to play i had tons of satelites, in a sektor who createt this laggs
also i had a lod of mods that createt tons of laggs
there is one ( 3 mods in once )
one part is fleet stuff with AI stuff where faktions reak to wrs and send out ships
the 2nd part of this mod was an economy catch up
something like this .
also and that was the biggest ptoblem:
my complex ....first of all turn off module overlay.
build our complex in a far outside sektor and use warehouses in sektors where u want to have your wars, a warehouse with just dicking bays and storage modules is never creating so much laggs as a whole complex.

try to figure out with mods create this laggs, because at some point the game becomes unplayablke
