About

This mod adjusts the Streaming Chunk KB setting based upon whether the game state is currently in the menu or in-game. This is done to work around a severe framerate drop when leaving steel sights mode, while still allowing game resources to be loaded at full speed if the local player has not spawned into the level yet.

Preview

Usage

Installation of the mod is straightforward - simply install the mod the same way as any other BLT mod. This mod integrates its options menu as a submenu of BLT's Mod Options menu.
