My comp frequently freezes even though I gave Optimizer admin privilege and run it via MO, and it became very warm after freezing......(tries to handle every dds file, was even more warm than when I cleared some AWOP zones) it made me think about using DDS Opt or SMCO. Currently I use both smco and optimizer, not sure how batch files of dds opt work. With Optimizer textures, I optimize each several large folders such Weapons of the new Millenia, TTW Book of steel, T49 Colossus, MMM.... and I use SMCO to optimize entire NV directory.
@Keltec- I do not use weapon overheating yet, Cirosan's classic overhaul seems enough for me. Thank you for info tho ;) Afaik both smco and optimizer do not mess up armor tex.....
Edit- My bad, I should never have used SMCO for NV, it even cuts meshes and entire tex.....
And quite many people experienced comp freezing while using optimizer like me
Their advise was "do not use ordeanor via MO....."
