So I decided to take the plunge and try FasterVaM.
Yesterday I backed up my folder, did the core check, and then installed GoldenPack2.8.0-Pesadilla. I added the plugin as a session plugin to default, saved the scene, and reloaded. For a handful of hours I noticed noticeably faster load times an all variety of scenes. Combined with openvr_fsr_1.2, I noticed a fast, smooth, and stable VaM.

....until today. After changing nothing (that I could tell, I only saved a few other scenes, etc... no runtime errors or anything last time I closed the program yesterday), VaM became unstable, vars are "missing" despite being clearly in AddonPackages, and IF a scene loads without crashing, the models are basic G2 with no textures or morphs...

I repaired the core, removed the golden pack, and removed the plugin from the default scene. At this point, VaM appears to be stable again and everything seems to be loading fine. When I get the chance, I will try to reinstall the golden pack and see if the same issue occurs (and I'll try to pay more attention to errors, etc).

I really am struggling to find the value here. So VAM loads a little faster, but opening scenes does not? Just doesn't seem the the juice is worth the squeeze.

VaM itself loaded a bit faster, and scenes were loading much faster. Granted the load times were not too bad before that, but some of the asset heavy scenes can take time to load, and fasterVaM seemed to solve that until it broke... haha..

I looked at it as more of an experiment to see what it was all about. Plus, the mmd part of the package does seem like it could be fun.

The depend file is not mandatory but you can post it, its better. So that one doesn't need to dl the whole var to check the dependencies.
And post on a hoster that doesn't remove files on a "one click" DMCA request. anonfiles is reliable for keeping files.

Big request but does anyone have all the Qinfeng stuff from late May until now? Kemono hasn't been updated yet sadly.

Are you sure this isn't a nightmare?

Like i said in a previous post, i uninstalled it myself, in my test it was not worth it, it did show the initial interface faster than normal, but i had to manually wait before opening a scene that was in a VAR or i would see an empty list so for me it was the same thing, i think its because of the almost 10K vars i have LOL, maybe for someone with a lot less it would be worth it.

i wrote those tutorials and made those test to be able to help people that want to use it and wouldnt be able to get any support (its not a very easy software for the final user), maybe someone wants the code and wants to make things better since the author declared he will not continue the development cause he is focusing in his new DRM... ah no my bad i mean his new super best than VAM game.

After my tests I came to that conclusion as well. In the end the overall benefit was not worth the hassle of restoring back ups and or running the vam updater whenever fasterVaM decided to flake out. ...And besides, if I'm in that much of a rush to load up a scene then I probably don't have time anyway haha... Still, I think this is some interesting stuff. Hopefully someone decent will take up that mantle, and or it'll be included in vam soon.
