mega/super chainsaw freezes the game
I like to use mods like mega chainsaw or super chainsaw to quickly clear areas and it works great, until it doesnjt work 😐
From time to time the game freezes during the clearing phase and i got plenty of inventory space, in my last playthrough i used superchainsaw and had major issues with the swamp i couldnt clear the northeast part at all.
New playthrough(and new computer so clean install of everything) and i loaded in mega chainsaw, started in the green area to the south and cleaned out a large portion of southeast but now i went slightly to the northwest of spawn point and it froze.
Anyone got a clue why?
Edit:
Perhaps should mention, windows 11 up to date, 64gb ram, 9070xt oc, 9800x3d, windows runs of an m.2 device and the game on another m.2, dont have issues with programs crashing or bluescreens, the game runs in a 1920x1080 window on a 1440p resolution, like to have a movie playing on the left part of the screen while playing and the freeze happens at the same time on both mods.

This is a known issue, and is an inherent consequence of clearing massive areas of foliage. It takes a while to process that much at once. Use the mod settings (the
/megachainsaw [radius] chat command) to lower the radius it clears to prevent it from freezing your game. You'll need to experiment with the values to find something that works for you.
["like to have a movie playing on the left part of the screen while playing" ― this will undoubtedly make the issue more pronounced as well]Its not caused by alot of foliage at least not exclusively, some areas with a lot of foliage can clear just fine while areas with much less foliage can freeze the game, a radius of 20000 or 5000 makes no difference, there is something else or something more coming into play.
A radius of 2000 seems to work, perhaps underground cavern interfere to much with larger radiuses.
