🎯 Tips & Tricks
Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install this—it's the safest way to avoid file conflicts.
After installing, launch the game once to let the cache build, then restart to see the full startup speed improvement.
If you use other mods that edit INI files, install this one last to ensure it caches the final values.
