- The game engine may allow for manual configuration of the game via its variables. See the Unreal Engine 4 page for more details.
Enable AA sharpening[3]
|
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Open
Engine.ini .
- Add the following and save the file.
[SystemSettings]
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=1
- This will sharpen the image to offset the blur caused by FXAA and TAA. A value between 0.5-1.0 is recommended, 10 is the maximum. It has no performance impact. The default value is 0.
|
Adjust r.ScreenPercentage for downsampling[3]
|
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Open
Engine.ini with a text editor.
- Add
[SystemSettings] to the bottom of the file, if that section doesn't already exist.
- Inside that section, add
r.ScreenPercentage=100 where 100 is the desired resolution percentage.
Notes
- Decreasing the value allows for upscaling/upsampling from lower resolutions while running UI elements at the native screen resolution, which might be helpful for lower-end configurations.
- Increasing the value results in downscaling.
|
Custom frame rate cap
|
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Open
GameUserSettings.ini .
- Change
FrameRateLimit=0 to the desired frame rate cap (e.g. 144).
Notes
- The line already exists in the file and needs to be changed accordingly. Adding it again with a different value will not work.
