The game engine may allow for manual configuration of the game via its variables. See the Unreal Engine 4 page for more details.

Ultra-widescreen

Use The Outer Worlds ultrawide & superwide tool.^[9]
Removes pillarboxing from real-time rendered cutscenes, menu and dialog screens. Adjusts vertical FOV for all scenes and resolutions to fully match 16:9. Applies to all game versions. Corrects viewmodel cropping. Stretched FMVs will remain unchanged.

Manually modify a game file of the Epic Games Store version^[10]^[11]

Open <path-to-game>\Indiana\Binaries\Win64\IndianaEpicGameStore-Win64-Shipping.exe in a hex editor (e.g. HxD).
Jump (Ctrl+G) to offset 1C3F5DA as hex and look for the bytes 01 31 41 30.
Replace 01 with 00.
Jump (Ctrl+G) to offset 283CECD as hex and look for the bytes FA 0E 3C A1.
Replace FA 0E with 20 2A.

Notes

An open source patcher based on these values is available on GitHub.

Removes pillarboxing from real-time rendered cutscenes, menu and dialog screens.

Adjusts vertical FOV for 21:9 resolutions for parity with 16:9.
Cutscenes and dialog screens FOV is simultaneously Hor+ and Vert-.

Cropped viewmodel and stretched FMVs will remain unchanged.

Field of view (FOV)

Set custom FOV value through the config^[12]

Go to the configuration file(s) location.
Open GameUserSettings.ini.
Assuming X is the desired FOV value, change CustomFieldOfView=X to the desired value.
Save the file.

Notes

Extreme FOV values, such as 180, render the game unplayable at 16:9.

Disable or modify sprint FOV^[13]

Download and install Cheat Engine.
Copy the script behind the Show button on this post.
The script contains dd (float)2.0 to increase the FOV slightly when running, change this to dd (float)0 to disable any FOV change on sprint.
Run The Outer Worlds.
In Cheat Engine, File → Open Process and open The Outer Worlds.
Click the Memory View button.
In the Memory Viewer window, Tools → Auto Assemble.
Paste in the script and click Execute.
Click Yes to inject the code.
Click either Yes or No to dismiss the final dialog.

Anti-aliasing (AA)

Modify Engine.ini to improve TAA quality or disable it^[14]

Go to the configuration file(s) location.
Open Engine.ini with a text editor.
Add the section [SystemSettings] to the file, if it doesn't exist already.
Under that section add r.TemporalAACurrentFrameWeight=0.2 r.TemporalAASamples=4
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=1.0 can be added to further improve the image quality. The 1.0 can be raised for an increased effect.
Save the file.

Notes

Modifying the value of FrameWeight reduces ghosting at the cost of increasing flickering.

To disable TAA, under [SystemSettings], instead add r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=0 or r.PostProcessAAQuality=0

Disabling TAA can add light strobing. This can be fixed by adding r.BloomQuality=0, which disables the bloom effect.

Small UI and text on large resolutions

Change scaling value^[15]

Go to the configuration file(s) location.
Open Engine.ini with a text editor.
Add the following to the bottom of the file and save:

[/Script/Engine.UserInterfaceSettings]
ApplicationScale=1.15

Run the game, check the size of Text and UI and adjust the value 1.15 as necessary. In most cases it's only needed to adjust the .15 part of the value.

Reduce pop-in

Increase view distance^[16]^[17]

Go to the configuration file(s) location.
Open Engine.ini with a text editor.
Add [SystemSettings] to the bottom of the file, if that section doesn't already exist.
Inside that section, add the following and save the file

foliage.LODDistanceScale=5
r.ViewDistanceScale=5
r.StaticMeshLODDistanceScale=0.25
r.SkeletalMeshLODBias=-2
r.MipMapLODBias=-1

To increase performance and reduce view distance, mainly lower foliage.LODDistanceScale and r.ViewDistanceScale and raise r.MipMapLODBias and less importantly raise r.StaticMeshLODDistanceScale and r.SkeletalMeshLODBias

Since r.MipMapLODBias=-1 and r.SkeletalMeshLODBias=-2 are negative, raising them by 1 looks like r.MipMapLODBias=0 and r.SkeletalMeshLODBias=-1

Keybinds being reset

This section may require cleanup to meet basic quality standards. The specific problem is: Specify what is even wrong and actually explain the example.. You can help by modifying the article. The discussion page may contain useful suggestions.

The game can have the same key assigned to different functions, but some unexpected issues may occur.

Back up the configuration file before proceeding.

Manually edit key binds^{[citation needed]}

Go to the configuration file(s) location.
Open GameUserSettings.ini with a text editor.
Locate the bottom of the [/Script/Indiana.IndianaGameUserSettings] section
If a key has been (re)bound more than once, there may be extra RemovedActionKeyBinds entires, which can cause issues. If this occurs, edit using the following as a guide.

Notes:

There are multiple bindings for some functions, for example, the Inhaler (Quickslot 0) keybind has 3: QuickSelect0, QuickSelect0HoldStart and QuickSelect0HoldEnd.

For example, rebinding Interact from E to F and moving Inhaler from F to Z:

AddedActionKeyBinds=(ActionName="Interact",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,EventType=IE_PressAndRelease,HoldTime=0.000000,bRespectTD=True,bCanRebind=True,bCanRebindEventType=True,Key=F)

AddedActionKeyBinds=(ActionName="QuickSelect0",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,EventType=IE_Pressed,HoldTime=0.000000,bRespectTD=True,bCanRebind=True,bCanRebindEventType=True,Key=Z)
AddedActionKeyBinds=(ActionName="QuickSelect0HoldStart",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,EventType=IE_Pressed,HoldTime=1.000000,bRespectTD=False,bCanRebind=True,bCanRebindEventType=True,Key=Z)
AddedActionKeyBinds=(ActionName="QuickSelect0HoldEnd",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,EventType=IE_Released,HoldTime=0.000000,bRespectTD=True,bCanRebind=True,bCanRebindEventType=True,Key=Z)

RemovedActionKeyBinds=(ActionName="InteractHold",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,EventType=IE_Hold,HoldTime=1.000000,bRespectTD=False,bCanRebind=True,bCanRebindEventType=True,Key=E)
RemovedActionKeyBinds=(ActionName="QuickSelect0",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,EventType=IE_Pressed,HoldTime=0.000000,bRespectTD=True,bCanRebind=True,bCanRebindEventType=True,Key=F)
RemovedActionKeyBinds=(ActionName="QuickSelect0HoldStart",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,EventType=IE_Pressed,HoldTime=1.000000,bRespectTD=False,bCanRebind=True,bCanRebindEventType=True,Key=F)
RemovedActionKeyBinds=(ActionName="QuickSelect0HoldEnd",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,EventType=IE_Released,HoldTime=0.000000,bRespectTD=True,bCanRebind=True,bCanRebindEventType=True,Key=F)

Off-centered crosshairs

Toggle offset crosshairs^{[citation needed]}
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `GameUserSettings.ini` Find `bOffsetReticle=` and set it to `True` or `False` This will center the crosshair (if set to `False`), or offset it towards the bottom of the screen (if set to `True`)

Mouse acceleration

Disable mouse acceleration^[18]^[19]^[20]

Go to the configuration file(s) location.
Open Input.ini with a text editor.
Add the following to the bottom of the file and save:

[/Script/Engine.InputSettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=false

Nyoka companion quest fails to start

Some have reported the "Passion Pills" companion quest may fail to start, effectively soft-locking the game as it seems to be required to continue the main quest.^[24]

Fortunately, a developer command can be used to force the quest to begin.

Force the "Passion Pills" quest to start^[25]
Enable the developer console. While in-game, press `~` to access the console. Type `QuestStart Passion` to force the quest to begin (Game language should be "English").
