Hello guys, Im excited to announce Version 1.3.R after several days of suffering!
This release aimed towards making the modpack less cluttered by removed a bunch of useless things aswell as adding "profiles" to the modpack so people can choose whether to play with certain mods or not. I have created 2 versions to choose from currently:
These versions are:
Modpack Version 1.3.R.1 - FULL - QUALITY
Modpack Version 1.3.R.2 - STRIPPED - PERFORMANCE
The only way these 2 versions differ from eachother is that 1.3.R.1 is the fully modded version, which includes blastcore, sound enhancements, visual improvements, sound changes. Version 1.3.R.2 is the opposite and ONLY includes very minor visual improvements and sound improvements, such as lens flare, immerse (ambient sounds like trees blowing in the wind).
It'll be up to you how you'd like to play, the mods I have excluded from 1.3.R.2 are the only ones I could exclude, all other mods are required by the server. I hope these 2 versions will find their respective users and improve performance to those who need it.
But now to the changes that have been done:
- A lot of mods were removed, a total of 44 to be exact.
These included (possibly) performance heavy mods, such as dismemberment or craters (caused microfreezing). But mainly a lot that cluttered the modpack. - The modpack was optimized to the best of my abilities to only include things we would actually like AND use.
Only Future will tell if this will persist however.
- But our biggest change yet is that we will now run off of a 40 Slot dedicated high performance server
(General specs of the datacenter) :
CPUs: AMD Ryzen 3900X/3700X/5950X/7950X3D,Intel i7-8900 and Intel E3-1270v5 (multiple CPUs at once)
Memory: 64GB - 128GB DDR4
Storage: NVMe SSD (primarily) and SSD
Network: 1000Mbps uplink (DDoS protected)
Some pie-charts (may not be accurate) to visualize how many mods do what. If you still believe that for some reason we got 900 mods adding fifteenthous and cosmetical items and visual improvements. If you can not play this modpack at all, might aswell just play unmodded.
[GAME] - Gameplay improvements or additions
[EQUIPMENT] - Guns, vehicles, attachments, etc.
[OTHER] - Addtional settings, performance improvers, misc. items or minor changes
[LIB] - libraries required for certain mods to function
Anyways, happy hunting.
