It absolutely does, though. Vanilla crashes all the time and has several game-breaking bugs. I don’t recommend that anyone plays New Vegas unmodded – especially on a newer machine that’ll be less compatible (like my 7700X + 4090 rig running Windows 11) – unless you just hate yourself. You need community patches to get it in a playable state.
I mean, isn’t vanilla New Vegas pretty famously unoptimized? I think its performance has less to do with your hardware and more to do with the engine (hence this mod).
My toaster of a desktop can easily run the game at pretty good framerates yet the game just sometimes decided to just crash like it’s nobody’s business.
Hell, it ran it just fine before getting an upgrade from 4gb to something like 16gb of ram, but the problem wasn’t performance issues. Instead it was random crashing. Mods completely fixed that issue.
New Vegas is a pretty good game, but I wouldn’t wanna play it unmodded because I don’t wanna deal with random crashes.
Man… if vanilla New Vegas is still giving you performance issues, you might wanna upgrade your toaster.

Todd, I didn’t know you were a Lemmy user.
How much can upgrading a computer cost, $10?

It’s not a toaster problem lol. Every time to enter a loading screen you pray the game doesn’t randomly crash

If it brings me a few minutes more battery life on my steamdeck, it is worth it

Try playing F.E.A.R without the performance mod, a 5800x3d and 4090 will only get a studdery mess and that game is from 04
Nah, with mods the lack of threading makes oblivion and fo:nv unplayable once you add on enough eye candy
