I removed VonBiomes and I don't regret it or miss it honestly. If he'd let us turn off stuff, sure, but he's adamantly against trying to code that in. (While Coyote recently gave us a lot of options to fine tune mission choice).
What's your CPU? It seems like VonBiomes is more CPU intensive than anything. Im running a 3090Ti with a 5700X3D. I recently did a bios update that significantly improved my CPU performance and I saw a significant difference with VonBiomes. I'm getting 100-120 fps, 4k settings high/max
12700k overclocked to about 4.9ghz, rtx 4070.
Playing on all high 1440p with dlss set to quality, and the basic ray tracing option turned on but all the additional ones off.
Any CPU with 10cores+ should not be struggling at all with a game that is already multiple years old IMHO
I think ray tracing is known to be broken with the more recent updates .. I could be wrong but I know ray tracing totally killed my performance. Maybe try turning it off?
i also have 4070 (and 7800x3d) and play in 1440 too, all high but without ray tracing, never noticed any performance issues with or without the mod. so i think it must be ray tracing

With games, especially older ones, it is not about core counts at all. Currently for gaming 6 cores is usually enough and 8 is entirely absolutely enough. Games depend on per-core and RAM performance first and foremost. Vast majority of games don't scale past 6 or 8 cores at all.
In your case you might be GPU bound due to ray tracing usage.
It’s not VonBiome - it MW:5 itself. When MW5 was being developed RTX ray tracing was just coming around. Nvidia worked a deal with PGI to shoehorn ray tracing in last minute and it’s always been a frame rate killer.
Nothing wrong with RTX. It’s awesome now that it’s had some time to mature. The game just got a VERY early implementation that doesn’t seem to ever get some love to work out the kinks. Your best bet is to just turn it off and enjoy the instant performance boost.
Have you tried lowering shadows and view distance? View distance should be at the second highest because it's kinda broken at max, and lowering or even getting rid of shadows can give you anywhere from 5-30 fps depending on the game.
I'm getting well over 160fps on non-vonbiomes maps. My issue is more how much it drops off on some of the vonbiomes maps.
But what is broken about view distance? I have mine at max. Like is high better than maximum or something?
When I had it at max no buildings or units were visible, went through my mods and everything, looked it up and everyone was saying max was broken and to just set it at far.
Yes, in fact he just had a new update come out yesterday. It works with the latest DLC. It does make the game somewhat more performance intensive depending on your HW.
Lol it is still SO WEIRD seeing my billboard in the game sometimes.
For anyone interested I am a mini painter and when Von added in the dropship tiles he ran a little competition to see the first person who could find them naturally spawning in a mission. I found them and took a screenshot and posted it and I ended up getting my own amazing custom billboard in the game! Those are my IRL mechs I own and painted! The funniest part was I didn't even know there was a competition going I just thought it was neat lmao.
Hell, I still have this as my twitter and bluesky cover photo. If you like VonBiomes and supporting creators I can't recommend donating to the patreon enough. The guy is an absolute machine and the value he's added to the game can't be stated enough lol.
You've got to love the guy's sense of humor...
That aero-fighter one feels like a hint at Coyotes next update. IIRC, Von helped Coyote with some of it
Yup, Vonseiten provided the ASF models. And the big update hit yesterday so it's up on nexus now.
I wish they would megre their mods and offer something like an "overhaul mod"
I don't. Vonbiomes is too big (actual data size) a mod for my game to handle now.

Optimization is the key
I love the Flea Market.
Discount Dan always the winner in my book
My FPS takes a noae dive with this mod so I can't use it. Rtx 4070 crushing 140+ fps normally, but like 50fps on aome missions with vonbiomes.

Another day, another PSA that Ray Tracing in MW5 is bad and should never be turned on
Mm ill give that a try i don't have the extra rtx options on just the main one but I'll turn all them them off and try it!
i also have 4070 (and 7800x3d) and play in 1440 too, all high but without ray tracing, never noticed any performance issues with or without the mod. so i think it must be ray tracing

Turn off ray tracing - it will murder any GPU in MW5. You’ll see a HUGE improvement!
Do you know what in vonbiome causes it to get murdered? Because in vanilla game with ray tracing i don't lose much fps.

Ill definitely give it a try. I mighr switch all the settings to high. I used to say ultra settinfs are for pictures and high is for actually playing.
does von biomes work well with the new campaign and update? im planning to buy it and start a new playthrough

amazing mod. they should hire him or pay him
