What Does This Mod Do?
- Enhances the games anti-aliasing (TSR, TAA, & FXAA)
- Enhances some post-processing effects (like motion blur, don't worry it doesn't turn it on)
- Adds a Cartoon artstyle to the game (this improves performance but also allows you to enjoy the game in a different way, good if you like Pokemon)
- Adds performance presets to the game that reduces certain graphical settings further than what the game allows (this allows you to target higher framerates like 40-50fps if you'd rather have that over visual fidelity)
- Reduces stuttering & improves frametimes by pacing the textures better for HDD/SD cards

Game Settings
View Distance: Lower view distance = sharper higher res textures. Higher view distance = more distant objects are loaded but textures get blurrier & blurrier. pick your poison, I personally prefer Low
Motion Blur: It will help your framerate feel higher since it smooths out the choppiness. Subjective
Other Settings: Low or Medium

How to get Vortex on SteamOS
I recommend you setup CryoUtilities & set your VRAM to 4gb, it can give you FPS gains. A tutorial can be found here
You may also enable FSR1/RSR via drivers or gamescope since this game doesn't support upscaling. This will improve FPS a lot too
