Essential improvements

Skip intro videos

Set launch options
Use the -nostartupmovies or -nomovies command line argument.

Skip the splash screen

Set launch options
Use the -nosplash command line argument.

Video settings

Borderless fullscreen windowed

Borderless fullscreen windowed will not work with Borderless Gaming.

Other methods of forcing borderless windowed, like GeDoSaTo may work, however.

Issues fixed

Smoothed frame rate

Many Unreal Engine 3 games use frame rate smoothing with a default value of 62. Users with a PC strong enough to maintain stable framerates above 60 may want to change or disable this.

Minimizes lag spikes and provides smoother gameplay overall with any monitor regardless of the refresh rate.

Frame rate won't exceed a specified value and has a small impact on the overall frame rate which may not be ideal on a lower end gaming PC or when benchmarking.

If you'd like to raise frame rate smoothing cap:

Raise frame rate smoothing cap[citation needed]

Navigate to configuration file(s) location, usually located in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\.... If you have trouble finding it, see the Game data section in the PCGamingWiki article for that specific game. Open the XEngine.ini (where X is a game-specific variable) with a text editor. Using Ctrl+F, search for MaxSmoothedFrameRate in the text file. The preferred value would be your monitor refresh rate plus 2. For example, when using a 144Hz monitor the value would preferably be set to 146. Change the relevant config values to this. Be aware that there may be multiple values that need to be changed for a specific game. If you still experience issues, you may have missed some. Once you've edited all relevant values, save the text file.

If you'd like to disable frame rate smoothing:

Disable frame rate smoothing[citation needed]

Navigate to configuration file(s) location, usually located in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\.... If you have trouble finding it, see the Game data section in the PCGamingWiki article for that specific game. Open the XEngine.ini (where X is a game-specific variable) with a text editor. Using Ctrl+F, search and change bSmoothFrameRate to FALSE. Be aware that there may be multiple values that need to be changed for a specific game, be sure to get them all. Once you've edited all relevant values, save the text file.

If you experience screen tearing you may want to use regular V-sync or a frame rate cap rather than changing smoothing.

Some games reset the values to default after game starting, setting file to "read-only" prevents this but some games may crash because of this. Please refer to the specific article for each game to see if setting its config files to "read-only" is needed.

No surround sound

Force native device

Rename original OpenAL32.dll, usually located in <path-to-game>\Binaries\ folder Locate xxxxxxxEngine.ini configuration file and open it in text editor. Search for [WinDrv.WindowsClient], and note which class is used in AudioDeviceClass= Look below for it. Delete DeviceName= value (leave blank) Notes If unsure, force a specific audio device by inserting its name (as reported by ALC_ENUMERATION_EXT in EnumerateWin32) as value

Stuttering and texture "popping"

Edit *Engine.ini
Find the PoolSize= value in the Texture streaming section and set it roughly to your VRAM memory amount (in MB). Find the ThreadedShaderCompileThreshold= in the DevOptions.Shaders section and set it the the number of CPU cores (not threads) your machine has -2.

Other information

Console commands

Games running on Unreal Engine 3 can utilize some of the UE3 Console Commands for various tasks.
