Key points
- DICE-developed engine that is used in many EA projects.
Video
- Most games running on the engine use a Hor+ ultrawide image...
- ...though some material, especially FMV cutscenes, will most likely be pillarboxed.
Games set to windowed mode open at 1280x720
Change the desired resolution
|
Using the guide below, create a file titled user.cfg on the game's installation directory and paste the following, modifying the numbers listed below to your desired resolution:
Window.Width 1920
Window.Height 1080
|
Certain games will enforce a locked frame rate with no in-game option to change it. However, one can set a custom frame rate by following these steps.
Unlocking the frame rate
|
Using the guide below, create a file titled user.cfg on the game's installation directory and paste the following:
GameTime.MaxVariableFPS 0
Where '0' unlocks the framerate, allowing the game to go above the 200 FPS cap.
In Need for Speed Rivals and Dragon Age: Inquisition use the -GameTime.MaxSimFps # -GameTime.ForceSimRate # command line argument, where # is the exact desired value.[1]. Doing this in DA:I will increase cutscene FPS.
- Will not affect games that enforce an FPS cap for certain content, like Need for Speed Heat's audience crowds that are locked to 30 FPS. As such they will appear to stutter at higher frame rates.
- Some games will exhibit issues with higher frame rates. Star Wars Battlefront II's Instant Action may have issues that can be resolved with an FPS cap to either 60 or 30 and Dragon Age: Inquisition has a multitude of issues with higher frame rates.
- This isn't recommended with Need for Speed Rivals! See High frame rate for more information.
|
- TAA will most likely be forced on with no option to disable. Workarounds do exist to disable it, though they differ depending on the game.
Static resolution scale with SSAA
- Some games do not include an option to change the static resolution scale (SSAA). However, you can force a change.
Command line
|
On games with the command line enabled, press ~ and type Render.ResolutionScale # . If you change the value to 0 or values above 2.0 , the game will crash.
To make this a persistent change, create a file titled user.cfg on the game's installation directory and type the command shown above.
|
Edit PROFILEOPTIONS_profile
|
Open PROFILEOPTIONS_profile and search for the string GstRender.ResolutionScale 1.000000 . Change 1.000000 to a number between 0.0 and 2.0 .
|
Need for Speed Rivals: Add launch option[2]
|
Add the -Render.ResolutionScale 1.5 command line argument.
Notes
- This doubles the render resolution without affecting the display resolution. Can be further tweaked up to
2.0
- Using Nvidia's DSR instead, provides better performance.[3]
- Causes the starting grid and other GUI elements on 3D environments to be misalignment.

Other information
Save folder locations of Frostbite games will usually be in %USERPROFILE%\Documents
.
Mantle
Mantle is available as a graphics API option in Battlefield 4, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, Dragon Age: Inquisition and Battlefield Hardline. It requires an AMD video card and support has been dropped after Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.5.1. Trying to launch a game after setting Mantle as the graphics API with newer drivers will crash the game with an error.
To revert out of Mantle, go to PROFSAVE_profile
, look for the string GstRender.MantleEnabled 1
and switch 1
to 0
. A workaround to use Mantle with newer Catalyst drivers exist below.
Use Mantle with newer AMD Catalyst drivers
Mantle support was dropped after 19.4.3 causing launch errors if the user was trying to launch the game with newer Catalyst drivers. A workaround involves placing 19.4.3's Mantle DDLs into Battlefield 4's install directory.
Developer console
- Some Frostbite games have a built-in developer console that can be called up by pressing ~. Some commands are listed below.
- These commands can be executed when the game launches by creating a file titled
user.cfg
in the game installation folder.
