{{mm}} [https://steamcommunity.com/app/315440/discussions/ Steam Community Discussions]
−
The game does not offer high resolutions such as 1920x1080 in the video options screen. Fortunately you can also change the resolution by manually modifying the config files.<br />

==Essential improvements==
 +
===Skip intro videos===

{{Fixbox|description=Edit GridEngine.ini|ref=<ref>{{Refcheck|user=SargeCassidy|date=2021-09-30|comment=After applying these changes, the game launches straight to the title screen.}}</ref>|fix=
 +
# Open <code>{{p|userprofile\Documents}}\Disney Interactive Studios\Tron Evolution\UnrealEngine3\GridGame\Config\GridEngine.ini</code>
 +
# Add a semi-colon <code>;</code> before each movie that you want to skip:
 +
#* <code>;StartupMovies=Unreal</code>
 +
#* <code>;StartupMovies=GamestarLogo</code>
 +
#* <code>;StartupMovies=PropagandaLogo</code>
 +
#* <code>;StartupMovies=DisneyLogo</code>
 +
#* <code>;StartupMovies=Sc1_01_01</code>
 +
Those are all the movies that occur before the title screen.

===Multiplayer DLC Maps===

'''ResX='''<br />

{{Fixbox|description= Install DLC|fix=

'''ResY='''<br />

They should match the current resolution the game is set at.<br />

A free DLC map pack was released as a day-one download, containing Codestream Nexus, User's Palace, and a Sam Flynn skin. This DLC has been collected by the community in a simple installer, you can download a backup [https://app.box.com/s/th8nl80ooay0h7uw7pb5ynv0h357we03 here]. Simply run the setup - the DLC applies to both physical and digital distributions.

Then plug in the values you want there, e.g.<br />

}}
−
ResX=1920<br />
 
−
ResY=1080<br />
 
  
−
Unfortunately, 1920x1200 does not seem to work, only 1920x1080, so those with 16:10 monitors may have to live with slight letterboxing. Higher values have not been tested. Note that going into the game's options screen and changing other values may result in the game resetting this change.

 +
* The game uses PhysX for its physics calculations. By default, the game only utilizes the CPU. If you own an Nvidia card, it's possible to force the game to use the GPU for PhysX. This will likely provide a small boost in performance.
 +
 
 +
To make this change:
 +
 
 +
* Find the line with the text <code>[Engine.Engine]</code> in <code>GridEngine.ini</code>.
 +
* Now find the line with the text <code>bDisablePhysXHardwareSupport</code>.
 +
* Change this setting from <code>True</code> to <code>False</code>.
 +
* Save the changes you've made.

Essential improvements

Skip intro videos

Edit GridEngine.ini[4]
  1. Open %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Disney Interactive Studios\Tron Evolution\UnrealEngine3\GridGame\Config\GridEngine.ini
  2. Add a semi-colon ; before each movie that you want to skip:
    • ;StartupMovies=Unreal
    • ;StartupMovies=GamestarLogo
    • ;StartupMovies=PropagandaLogo
    • ;StartupMovies=DisneyLogo
    • ;StartupMovies=Sc1_01_01

Those are all the movies that occur before the title screen.

Issues fixed

Crashing upon startup - Tron: Evolution requires PhysX to be installed in order to run properly

Instructions[11]

Notes

These legacy drivers can be installed even when an existing PhysX installation is present.


Use the GPU for PhysX

Instructions[12]
  • The game uses PhysX for its physics calculations. By default, the game only utilizes the CPU. If you own an Nvidia card, it's possible to force the game to use the GPU for PhysX. This will likely provide a small boost in performance.

To make this change:

  • Find the line with the text [Engine.Engine] in GridEngine.ini.
  • Now find the line with the text bDisablePhysXHardwareSupport.
  • Change this setting from True to False.
  • Save the changes you've made.

Notes

The game should now use your Nvidia GPU for PhysX.
