Essential improvements

Skip intro videos

Use Prey Interface Customizer[citation needed]
Skip intro videos[3]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\GameSDK\Videos\.
  2. Delete or rename ArkaneLogoAnim_Redux_1080p2997_ST-16LUFS.bk2, Bethesda_logo_anim_white.bk2, LegalScreens.bk2, and Ryzen_Bumper.bk2.

Prey Interface Customizer

The Prey Interface Customizer is a HUD/UI customization mod. Use a simple GUI to disable individual parts of the UI and notifications sounds. Set UI elements to Dynamic mode to only show them with a hotkey.
Adds support for binding non-standard actions, such as scrolling through the quickbar or the direct usage of a medkit.
Additional options include skipping of intro videos, disabling motion blur or control of the image sharpening amount.

High frame rate

Custom FPS cap[4]
  1. Open the game and make a change to any video setting.
  2. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  3. Open game.cfg.
  4. Change sys_MaxFPS = 144 to the desired FPS cap.
  5. Save the changes.

Notes

Changing the value to 0 caps the frame rate at 60 FPS
Alternatively, higher frame rates can also be achieved by turning on V-sync. This introduces some input lag, but the amount is very small at frame rates over 144.

Post-processing

Use Prey Interface Customizer[citation needed]
Can disable motion blur and change the image sharpening amount.
Disable motion blur[5]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>.
  2. Create a file called autoexec.cfg and open it with a text editor like Notepad.
  3. Add the line r_MotionBlur = 0 and save the file.

Input settings

Template:Input settings

Remapping

Rebind weapon wheel manually in config file[6]
  1. Go to %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Arkane Studios\Prey\Profiles\default\
  2. Open actionmaps.xml with Notepad.
  3. Look for the line <actionmap name="player"> and paste the following code below it.
  <action name="enter_focusmode">
   <rebind device="keyboard" input="b" defaultInput="mouse3"/>
  </action>
  <action name="mouse_enter_focusmode">
   <rebind device="keyboard" input="b" defaultInput="mwheel_up"/>
  </action>
  <action name="mouse_enter_focusmode">
   <rebind device="keyboard" input="b" defaultInput="mwheel_down"/>
  </action>
In this example the weapon wheel is now remapped to B on your keyboard. This can be changed to your liking.
