This mod is not a LUA mod and require a manual installation by replacing an existing Project Zomboid File

This mod works on Steam or GOG version Should works on any OS This mod is Client side and is not required to be installed on server This mod works and have been tested in both SP and MP

HOW THIS WORKS ??

Project Zomboid render a 190x190 tiles zone around the player This mod reduce the size of this zone and avoid loading not necessary square This way you can expect 40% to 70% perfs increase

HOW TO INSTALL ON WINDOWS

- locate your 'Project Zomboid' installation folder (by default should be something like: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid")

- open the "\zombie\iso" folder


ex:
Program Files (x86
└───Steam
    └───steamapps
        └───common
            └───ProjectZomboid
                └───zombie
                    └───iso

- in another window open the mod folder (by default should be: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\3022543997\mods\BetterFPS\media\")


ex:
Program Files (x86
└───Steam
    └───steamapps
        └───workshop
            └───content
                └───108600
                    └───3022543997
                        └───mods
                            └───BetterFPS
                                └───media

- select the most relevant folder for you config (this is just obvious preset, you can use 4k even in 1080p this will still increase FPS): * \PotatoPC\ if you use a resolution lower than 1080p * \1080p\ if your use a 1080p resolution * \4k\ if you use a resolution bigger than 1080p

* \Original\ is a recompiled version of the original file

Inside each folder there is another folder \zombie\iso\

- copy this folder (or the content)

- replace the existing folder (or file) from Project Zomboid

ex: replace "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\zombie" with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\3022543997\mods\BetterFPS\media\1080p\zombie"

This will overwrite the original file with patched one
