===Enable virtual shadow maps===

{{Fixbox|description=Greatly improve shadow quality at a low relative cost.|fix=
 +
{{ii}}Virtual shadowmaps are UE 5.x specific technology that renders high resolution shadows to a virtual texture. By default the game opts to use older cascade shadow maps technology at a very low resolution, supplementing them with distance field shadows.

# Open {{file|{{P|localappdata}}\LOTF2\Saved\Config\Windows\Engine.ini}}.

# Add following lines to the file:

<code>

[SystemSettings]<br>

r.Shadow.Virtual.Enable=1
 +
</code>
 +
 
 +
Save the file and launch the game.
 +
{{--}}By default VSM tiles are cached as the system tries to detect which tiles need to be updated. Detection algorithm can fail to pick up on small (relatively to tile surface) objects moving out of a given tile, causing smearing artifacts as previous tile is not invalidated properly.
 +
{{ii}}This behavior can be fixed by disabling caching via <code>r.Shadow.Virtual.Cache=0</code> command, which will incur extra performance cost.
 +
{{ii}}If caching is left enabled, extra performance (at the cost of extra VRAM usage) can be gained by enabling drawing dynamic objects to separate pages via <code>r.Shadow.Virtual.Cache.StaticSeparate=1</code>

The game engine may allow for manual configuration of the game via its variables. See the Unreal Engine 5 page for more details.

Field of view (FOV)

Custom FOV
  1. Download the CE table along with Cheat Engine.
  2. Attach the script to the game process.
  3. Activate the Cheat Manager script when game is at the main menu.
  4. Activate Create Console, and open it with ~.
  5. Use FOV 90 or other values to change the FOV.

Enable virtual shadow maps

Greatly improve shadow quality at a low relative cost.
Virtual shadowmaps are UE 5.x specific technology that renders high resolution shadows to a virtual texture. By default the game opts to use older cascade shadow maps technology at a very low resolution, supplementing them with distance field shadows.
  1. Open %LOCALAPPDATA%\LOTF2\Saved\Config\Windows\Engine.ini.
  2. Add following lines to the file:

[SystemSettings]
r.Shadow.Virtual.Enable=1

Save the file and launch the game.

By default VSM tiles are cached as the system tries to detect which tiles need to be updated. Detection algorithm can fail to pick up on small (relatively to tile surface) objects moving out of a given tile, causing smearing artifacts as previous tile is not invalidated properly.
This behavior can be fixed by disabling caching via r.Shadow.Virtual.Cache=0 command, which will incur extra performance cost.
If caching is left enabled, extra performance (at the cost of extra VRAM usage) can be gained by enabling drawing dynamic objects to separate pages via r.Shadow.Virtual.Cache.StaticSeparate=1

Essential improvements

Skip intro videos

Set game start map to actual main menu.
  1. Open %LOCALAPPDATA%\LOTF2\Saved\Config\Windows\Engine.ini.
  2. Add following lines to the file:

[/Script/EngineSettings.GameMapsSettings]
GameDefaultMap=/Game/World/Character_Creation/LVL_Char_Creation.LVL_Char_Creation

Save the file and launch the game.

Disable Easy Anticheat

Run the game without EAC.
This may not work for platforms other than Steam.
This will effectively disable all forms of online play as the sessions will fail to make an EAC handshake.

Pre 1.1.217:

As of version 1.1.217 the game client detects presence of steam_appid.txt separately from EAC and will refuse to start when the file is detected.
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\LOTF2\Binaries\Win64.
  2. Create steam_appid.txt
  3. Paste following text into the file: 1501750 and save it.
  4. Open %LOCALAPPDATA%\LOTF2\Saved\Config\Windows\Engine.ini.
  5. Add following lines to the file: 
    [EpicOnlineServices]
EnableAntiCheat=False
  6. Boot the game using LOTF2-Win64-Shipping.exe located in <path-to-game>\LOTF2\Binaries\Win64

Post 1.1.217:

  1. Go to <path-to-game>\LOTF2\Binaries\Win64.
  2. Create a bat file with any name.
  3. Edit the .bat file with any text editor and add following lines:
    4. set SteamAppId=1501750
set SteamGameId=1501750
start LOTF2-Win64-Shipping.exe
  4. Open %LOCALAPPDATA%\LOTF2\Saved\Config\Windows\Engine.ini.
  5. Add following lines to the file: [EpicOnlineServices]
    EnableAntiCheat=False
  6. Boot the game using the created .bat file.

Issues fixed

Disabling V-Sync

In the event VSync cannot be disabled, it's likely because Frame Generation is enabled, even if it's greyed out.

Configure DLSS[4]
  1. Enable DLSS
  2. Disable Frame Generation
  3. Disable DLSS again
  4. Now VSync can be toggled.
This is likely only an issue on 4000 Series Nvidia cards.
