ParaMax

!paramax-banner3 ParaMax is a client-side performance mod that cares a bit less about the FPS value in your F3 and more about the smoothness & actual feeling of the game. Mod goes after the stutters, lag spikes, and uneven pacing that make a gameplay feel rough.

You're in Control

Everything here is a toggle, all settings are adjustable live from the Mod Menu configuration screen.

Presets

In case you don't want to touch every setting there are three preset buttons at the top of the config screen:

• Potato PC - you get fewer particles, shorter view distances for entities. This is the only preset which has a governor that watches your FPS and downgrades things further when your PC is struggling, then eases back off once it's not.
• Balanced preset - good preset with small tradeoffs.
• Lossless Defaults - nothing you can see changes, but the invisible work carries on: frame pacing is still smoothing out your game. So this isn't ParaMax doing nothing - it's doing everything that costs you nothing visually. This is how the mod ships, so a fresh install never changes how your game looks, and the button doubles as your config reset for a mod.

Presets aren't modes - they are just set of the same toggles and sliders you can change yourself. Pick one, then tweak whatever you want. Frame pacing stays on in all of them. Comfortable and smooth gameplay is the whole point.
