The game engine may allow for manual configuration of the game via its variables. See the Unreal Engine 4 page for more details.

Field of view (FOV)

Available via UUU v3.0.19, download and extract to a directory where you have permissions. Run the game and click Continue, start UUU and select the game process (Endeavor-Win64), then Inject DLL. From there, go in-game and hit the tilde key (`) on your keyboard to open the console. Simply type 'fov XX' to set the FOV to your desired spec, eg. 'fov 100'.

If you're having problems, you can try:

--Running UUU as Admin

--Using UUU 3.0.14, downloadable from the link above.

BE WARNED! Due to the fact that the FOV command appears to be referring to generic, engine-level FOV, this will force your FOV to the specified value regardless of zoom, meaning that you no longer get any FOV tightening when you aim your weapons. The FOV will also reset in between missions and gameplay sessions, meaning that you will constantly need to reapply it. Allegedly, the developers are aware of the need of FOV adjustment among other changes, so there could potentially be an official FOV slider in the near-future.

Anti-aliasing (AA)

Modify Engine.ini^[2]

Go to the configuration file(s) location.
Open the Engine.ini file with a text editor.
At the end of the file, paste the following code:

[SystemSettings]
r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=0

This will disable TAA, which will result in a slightly sharper image at the cost of aliasing.

High dynamic range display (HDR)

Modify Engine.ini^[3]

Go to the configuration file(s) location.
Open the Engine.ini file with a text editor.
At the end of the file, paste the following code:

[SystemSettings]
r.AllowHDR=1
r.HDR.EnableHDROutput=1
r.HDR.Display.OutputDevice=5
r.HDR.Display.ColorGamut=2
r.HDR.UI.CompositeMode=1
r.HDR.UI.Level=0.5

This will not work in Windowed or Borderless modes.

Vignette

Disable Vignette Effect

Go to the configuration file(s) location.
Open Engine.ini.
Add the following and save the file.

[SystemSettings]
r.Tonemapper.Quality=0

Issues fixed

Stuttering

The game may continually switch between gamepad and KB&M control when using KB&M with a gamepad plugged in, creating a "stuttering" effect that is most noticeable in menus. Temporarily unplugging or disabling the gamepad may fix it^[4]
