Every Texture Optimized swaps the game's textures for lighter copies that look almost the same, so your graphics card has less to push. ZA-Z runs the Well Balanced version for everyone. It changes nothing about gameplay; it is purely about smoother frames, most of all in busy spots full of zombies, corpses and loot.
#What it adds
About 6,100 replacement textures, all for the game's own art:
| Area | Textures |
|---|---|
| Items on the ground and in hand | 2,255 |
| Clothing | 1,560 |
| Vehicles | 399 |
| Newspapers, flyers and other print | 370 |
| Weapons | 363 |
| Bodies and wounds | 373 |
| Other (water splashes, map, foraging, blood, weather) | the rest |
No new items, no scripts: it is a texture pack and nothing else.
#Can I switch to the Maximum Performance version?
Not on ZA-Z. The mod comes in two versions that cannot run together, and a multiplayer game loads only the server's mod list, so every player gets Well Balanced while connected. Maximum Performance is aimed at Steam Decks and low-end laptops and trades away more quality.
#Tips
- Lighter textures ease the load on your graphics card and its memory. If your game stutters when you drive into new ground, that is the map streaming in from the server, and no texture mod changes that. The same goes for the Huey outrunning the map.
- Other mods bring their own textures (the KI5 vehicles, for example), and those are not touched.
- It is the second biggest download on the server at about 269 MB, after The Real True Music.
