[H3]After many years, I’ve decided to step away from maintaining mods for Project Zomboid. The project has been in early access for a very long time, development is slow, and direction remains unclear. A large number of mods now exist mainly to compensate for core issues, and frequent updates often break existing work.

At this point, I no longer have the time or motivation to continue maintaining BetterFPS. I invite you to switch to the following alternative Zed's Better FPS - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3622986450

Thanks for all the support, subscriptions, and feedback over the years. [/H3]

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\3423115544\mods\BetterFPS_B42\42.0\media\")


ex:
Program Files (x86
└───Steam
    └───steamapps
        └───workshop
            └───content
                └───108600
                    └───3423115544
                        └───mods
                            └───BetterFPS_B42
                                └───42.0
                                    └───media
                                        └───zombie
                                            └───iso

- copy this folder content

- paste it in the same folder inside Project Zomboid installation folder

ex: replace "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\zombie\iso" with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\3423115544\mods\BetterFPS_B42\42.0\media\zombie\iso"

This will overwrite the original file with patched one
