This Guide exists to help STEP enthusiasts and new comers alike with lower end systems, specifically those who have only 1GB of VRAM, complete a STEP installation with all mods; a full STEP installation. Typically, new comers that are limited to 1GB of video RAM will often get over zealous with the mods; not realizing the effect they have on their systems and often revert back to a Performance STEP install:
Performance STEP: Core mods only; performance options wherever possible. These recommendations will not be much more that the official recommended system requirements. "My poor box needs all of the mercy that I can spare it, but I can't do without STEP!"
This; however, is not necessary. In the following sections, you'll learn exactly how to maintain a full STEP installation without stuttering and performance issues.
Several settings play a role when modding with limited hardware. Below is a general overview of these settings with recommendations.
Below is a run down of all the STEP sections and their included mods. Use this guide when downloading the STEP mods. If followed, the recommendations below combined with the other sections of this guide will provide users with a complete STEP installation on only 1GB VRAM.
The Fixes section of the guide as no noticeable impact on performance in the game. It is recommended to install all Fixes mods.
