Disable FXAA through a configuration file[5]
|
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Open
Engine.ini .
- If the file does not have a
[SystemSettings] section, add one to the bottom.
- Inside that section add
r.PostProcessAAQuality=0
|
Enable SSAA
|
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Open
GameUserSettings.ini .
- Change
ScreenPercentage=100.000000 to the desired value.
Notes
- Values between
100.000000 and 200.000000 are recommended.
|
Enable TAA
|
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Open
Engine.ini .
- If the file does not have a
[SystemSettings] section, add one to the bottom.
- Inside that section add the following:
r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=2
r.PostProcessAAQuality=6
r.TemporalAASamples=16
r.TemporalAAFilterSize=0.5
Notes
- TAA (Temporal Anti Aliasing) is a sharper form of AA than FXAA, however it causes blurriness during motion. It is recommended to also use the sharpen filter listed further below.
|
Unlock the frame rate
|
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Open
GameUserSettings.ini .
- Change
FrameRateLimit=60.000000 to the desired value.

Improve graphics quality
Implement various tweaks[6]
|
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Open
Engine.ini .
- Add this at the bottom:
[SystemSettings]
- All settings below should be placed under the above line.
- Increase draw distance
r.SkeletalMeshLODBias=-2
r.MinScreenRadiusForLights=0.015
r.MinScreenRadiusForSmallLights=0.005
r.JackLoadReduction.HiddenThresholdDistance=12000
r.JackLoadReduction.HiddenThresholdDistance=12000 increases the NPC draw distance to original DQXI (non-S) level.
- Improve shadow quality
r.Shadow.MaxResolution=4096
r.Shadow.MaxCSMResolution=8192
r.Shadow.CSM.MaxCascades=10
r.Shadow.CSMDepthBias=10
r.Shadow.DistanceScale=2
r.Shadow.TexelsPerPixel=10
r.Shadow.RadiusThreshold=0.0075
- This will also eliminate pop-in of shadows on smaller objects.
r.Shadow.MaxCSMResolution=8192 can be lowered for increased performance. 2048 is the default.
- May have a substantial performance impact depending on your hardware.
- Add sharpen filter
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=0.5
- This will sharpen the image to offset the blur caused by FXAA and TAA. A value between 0.5-1.0 is recommended. It has no performance impact.
- Improve grass density and draw distance
foliage.DensityScale=7
grass.DensityScale=7
foliage.LODDistanceScale=5
- Enable motion blur
r.MotionBlurQuality=4
r.MotionBlur.Amount=0.3
r.MotionBlur.Max=1
r.MotionBlur.Scale=1
r.MotionBlurSeparable=1
- Motion blur can help to disguise the TAA blurring effect.
