Many of the graphical reductions have been returned to normal - but are implemented with a dynamic system that will turn them down - or off - if the sim speed drops below zero.

As for the AI - you really can't have the AI without all the background work that went into making it possible in the first place - and that includes much of the performance improvements. While certainly some of the structural concepts could be moved over - and definitions and such - LOUD has re-written or created many of it's own functions, which would require extensive hooking to be used as a part of the vanilla or FAF codebase. That would be a great deal of work - possible - but a task for someone else I'm afraid.

LOUD is an integrated package, and there's no way currently to separate out only the AI changes. If the eye candy is of importance, it would probably be easier to work on adding graphics effects back in.

Is there any way to have LOUD AI stand alone?

I don't care about performance if it comes at price of reduced eye candy. Which is definitely the situation as it is.

I just like to have smartest AI possible.

You'll need to turn on Total Mayhem and Black Ops in the Mod Manager - you'll find that under Extras in the Main Menu - along with the many other mods we include with the package.

The Discord invite is now located in the launcher itself - under the HELP tab.

I had the same problem as the last poster with no build menu for the commander. I created a new profile which fixed the build menu problem but it seems that the addons from mayhem and black ops are not present. Is there any fix for this?

Also, the invite for the discord server is not valid.

Create a new profile from the Main Menu. That should fix you up.

I've installed loud & made sure its up to date with the updater. I started a Skirmish game, but I have no buildings panel to build when I click on my commander. What am I missing?

There are certainly some options in LOUD that will affect building times.

We continue to develop the project and we consider all mods for inclusion. Some (like TVG) are simply to invasive to be included with LOUD, and while many mods will work with LOUD, due to the nature of the work we've done, many will not work or may interfere with the overall function of LOUD - you simply have to try them to know for sure.

By all means, come onto our Discord server and talk with us about what you use, and if we can make it fly.

Ah thank you, I must of deleted and reinstalled the mod 3 times now, at least I know now! Also may I ask, would you be including any sort of tvg or the like mod in the near future? I love the performance boost over playing the steam version, but the mods is what keeps me going back.

No worries.

One of the many methods the LOUD uses to increase performance is to disable certain visual aspects that are controlled by the SIM thread - and this includes projectile collisions that take place on terrain (as opposed to those that take place on units). Many of these are controlled on a projectile basis and we have been slowly re-enabling some of those as the project progresses - so what you are seeing is quite intended.

Hi I don't know if I should be asking this question here so please do not get mad at me. I downloaded this mod a month ago but I did something dumb in the sense I wanted to force mod Battlefeel into the LOUD folder. Needless to say it didn't work. But now something else has happened where now none of the hit effects show up, so projectiles would fly towards the ground/unit, but no hit effect would show up. Can you help, please?
