I rarely ever take the time to log in to anything and comment, but I wanted to jump in and add to what everyone else is saying, this is no joke and makes a massive difference. Thank you!

Thank you!! It worked! It is strange seeing Pathologic 2 without the stuttering though...

Thank you! Great guide. I wish they would update the game build with Graphics Jobs enabled, and it's weird that it's compiled with Mono and not IL2CPP given that it's using modern Unity features.

Fantastic guide. Framerate well over doubled with these changes.

I encountered issues that the game will run surprisingly slow and laggy on my recent PC build. This guide fixed the issue. However, I should add a note that turning Vsync off made it work like a charm. Otherwise it lags as hell.

This honestly might as well be magic. I'm not sure how changing the values of these 2 lines doubles if not triples frame rates... but it actually worked lol.

Thank you so much!

This guide desperately needs to be rewritten, its riddled with typos and incorrect info.

Re: sceletto
There should be a folder called pathologic_data it should be in that one!

Hey unseen, just in case you're still running into issues with this,
the min memory field isn't too important, the two max memory fields should do the trick!
All we're doing in terms of memory is giving the game the ability to use more ram when it needs it.

Also, quick note for linux users, you can access the steamapps/compatdata/505230 folder to get to appdata,
And the gfx native enhancements value listed in the main post do indeed work.

I also ran into the issue of no smartallockmemorystrategy fields in appdata, and upping the two allocmmemorystrategy maxmemory fields did the trick!
