@mzaras you can set to keep them off at app launch through modifying the .kit found in the path below via text editor tool:

then append the following snippet at the bottom after the last line of #'s (or anywhere in this text file, really, and not having to mess with the original source code) and remember it’ll be case sensitive:

[settings.rtx-transient.resourcemanager]
genMipsForNormalMaps = false
enableTextureStreaming = false

if you are interested to know how to find your way around or wish to add additional preference changes, you can take a look at step by step here:

Save Preferences

[image] enter ‘command’ into the search field and activate the Command Utils extension from the Extension Manager. this will help us see what params is being changed: [image] you should now be able to open up the Commands extension through Window > Commands. this is essentially an ‘action recorder’ where you can keep track of the executions you’ve don…

I would just advise that you will use a lot more memory that way.
