FPS?

You want this game at 60fps, if you're going below that then some of the hacking sections may become impossibly difficult to do in time later on as the firing rate seems to be tied to the framerate.

I used Kaldaien's FAR (Fix Automata Resolution) which allows lowering the GI. Lowering it is a win-win as it makes a huge difference to performance without even looking worse if you drop it down two increments.

If you're using that and still getting framerate issues and crashes I can only suggest the obvious stuff, like close everything else on your computer while you're playing, update your drivers, if you have an SSD for your OS and other drives for storage try running it from your SSD, verify the integrity of the game files in Steam (and then re-install the mod if that uninstalls it), knock all the in-game settings down, particularly AA, and then see if the crashing still occurs.

I don't believe they're developing patches for us PC players. There's still a chance they might given the game is still being talked about and it sounds like they're making plans for more Nier stuff, but they don't deserve any good faith after leaving it so long and happily releasing DLC without fixing it.
