What follows is my preferred method.
Your browser does not support this video. Open your MGO installation folder in File Explorer (you set this in Wabbajack). Right-click ModOrganizer.exe , and choose Pin to Start . Open the Start menu. Right-click the pinned ModOrganizer shortcut, and choose Open file location . To choose a different icon, right-click the ModOrganizer shortcut in the new File Explorer window, and choose Properties . Assign a more interesting icon. I have some ideas! Shiny MGO logo Close-up of Snippy’s alterego Hi-res recreation of Skyrim SE’s icon Iron helmet Rename the shortcut to something catchy, like Mad God’s Overhaul. Open the Start menu and behold your pinned shortcut in all its glory! By the way... You can open File Explorer any time with + E. It’s my favorite keyboard shortcut in all of Windows. (My second favorite is + R, not that you asked.)</description></item><item><title>Virtual Memory</title><link>https://daveystrus.com/mgo-tutorial/appendices/virtual-memory/index.html</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://daveystrus.com/mgo-tutorial/appendices/virtual-memory/index.html</guid><description>Windows 11 has made it outrageously convoluted to reach its virtual memory settings.
Without screenshots… Open Settings . Choose System on the left. Scroll to the very bottom and click About . Scroll down to the row of links that appears after “Device specifications”, and click Advanced system settings . In the Performance section on the Advanced tab in the System Properties window, click Settings… . In the Virtual memory section of the Advanced tab of the Performance Options window, click Change… . With your NVMe drive highlighted, click Custom size and enter 40000 as both the Initial size and the Maximum size. (You will need to keep 40 GB free on this drive to take advantage of this.) Be sure to click the Set button before clicking OK and closing all of these windows. You will be prompted to restart your computer.</description></item><item><title>Shader Cache</title><link>https://daveystrus.com/mgo-tutorial/appendices/shader-cache/index.html</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://daveystrus.com/mgo-tutorial/appendices/shader-cache/index.html</guid><description>If you have an NVIDIA GPU, you should set the shader cache to 10GB or more before playing Mad God’s Overhaul. (AMD GPUs do no currently have an equivalent setting.)
Without screenshots… Open the NVIDIA Control Panel Choose Manage 3D settings on the left. Under Global Settings on the right, set Shader Cache Size to 10 GB or more. With screenshots… Right-click the desktop and choose
Show more options from the context menu. Choose NVIDIA Control Panel from the next context menu. Choose Manage 3D settings on the left.</description></item><item><title>Open Composite (Unleashed)</title><link>https://daveystrus.com/mgo-tutorial/appendices/open-composite/index.html</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://daveystrus.com/mgo-tutorial/appendices/open-composite/index.html</guid><description>If you have a headset that doesn’t use base stations, then Steam VR has to translate the game’s instructions as it runs in order for your headset to work. You probably want to use Open Composite. Both variants of Open Composite bypass Steam VR, which should provide a performance benefit.
OC Unleashed is enabled by default, and it adds a number of features beyond simply bypassing Steam VR’s overhead.</description></item></channel></rss>
