The Last Remnant Windows, X360 game

Introduction

Definitely visit their respective webpage/site and read up on 'em before downloading. I personally have actively used everything but the SweetFX (including ENB).
Speaking of which, since I've never used SweetFX myself, any questions you have about it will have to be answered by others. Here's a "How To" article from 2019, though.

I'll probably get around to providing short descriptions eventually. For now, I figured it'd be best to finish this before I forget about it.

Expect most/all edits and chronicling of said edits to be there.

Downloads

Just in case anything happens to the existing download links, I've backed them up (and archived some pages in the List section myself).

• Mega.nz
• Drive.google.com

Google Drive flagged SpeedBooster and Rescale Mod for abuse in 2020 and still haven't permitted them, so the Mega link is best.

Tired of choosing your unions based on everybody's tier lists? Well, here ye go.

#3 Dual Core CPU Loading Time Fix & MassAffinity

bb_blockquote wrote: Some users experience abnormally long load times when using some Dual Core CPUs, such as the Intel Core2Duo lineup. The load time issue seems to happen on Windows 7. This issue occurs in other Unreal Engine games as well, such as Mass Effect 2. There's a manual and automated solution. Unfortunately, for a small group of users, these fixes don't seem to work. It's not clear why.

Manual Fix

bb_blockquote wrote: Each and every time you load the game, press Ctrl-Shift-Escape at the main menu to open the Task Manager (or you can Alt-Tab out if you wish). Then click on the "Processes" tab (second from the left) and find "TLR.exe" in the list of processes. Right-click on it and pick "Set Affinity...". Uncheck either one of the CPUs so as to only have one checked. Click OK. Now go back in to "Set Affinity..." and re-check both CPUs. Now go back into the game and the load times should be greatly decreased.

Automated Fix

bb_blockquote wrote: A programmer named Quarn created a utility called "MassAffinity" for Mass Effect 2 that automates the manual "Set Affinity..." trick. Download this application and run SetupMassAffinity.cmd, select the path to your TLR installation folder and set TLR.exe as the executable name, then click on "Run the game". After the first run you can launch the game by running MassAffinity.exe.

#4 SpeedBooster - Sprint, Turbo and Talk silencer by play_time

bb_blockquote wrote: (...) here is a tool that allows Rush to sprint plus a couple of other features.

(...) The tool allows choosing either "Hold" the left shoulder button as on the PS4 or toggle the shoulder to turn sprint on/off. It will likely have some differences, but the big thing it gives is the same 2x speed for most exploration.

The tool also allows battle animations to be accelerated. (...)

In a recent run, the unique leaders really irritated me when many (a dozen, give or take) asked for materials or to go fight monsters. This tool can shut up either talk - it does not affect focus questions.

Remnant Assistant SpeedBooster Version 1.1

bb_blockquote wrote: Two new features have been added:

1. The ability to eliminate the time delay or battles needed to rehire a dismissed unit, and to allow all units to be rehired (15 cannot be once dismissed)
2. The ability to respawn monsters immediately if they respawn based on a time delay.

(...) If you use [the respawn], always save the game BEFORE hitting the respawn button. The problem I saw was that an Observer did not reappear. (...) Observers can be a bit problematic since they have a normal behavior of temporarily disappearing, so be careful about reloading too quickly if one does not reappear. But do not save the game over a good save as the position is saved in the game save file!

#5 Static BR Scaling Mod by Samurai190

bb_blockquote wrote: Originally posted by Samurai190:

bb_blockquote wrote: The Last Remnant mod for making enemy BR levels static and evenly scaled across the entire game! Say goodbye to annoying enemy scaling with your BR and possibilities of permanently ruining your save game!

It should be noted that many of the versions of this mod are not designed to make the game easier, but challenging and fair. Having to resort to excessive grinding is a sign of improvable character setups, strategy and training methods.

New vanilla style friendly versions and mass normal monsters versions have been added. Also including all monsters BR static extras for those who like those. (...)

Added new vanilla style static versions and two easier vanilla style versions!

Rescale Mod Recommendation / Which version should I use?

My recommendation on which BR version to use if you're new:

bb_blockquote wrote: Originally posted by yarow12:

bb_blockquote wrote: For any first-time players, I'm gonna recommend Vanilla Base Level Static (5/10). I've tried the ones higher including 128&96 Linear Static (16/10) and ~nope, stay at 5/10, but be aware that 3/10 felt way~ too easy and 6/10 was a bit too stress inducing (maybe try if min-maxing or really good at critical triggers).

Samurai190's post explains things thoroughly, but here are two charts from it.
