===SGW3 - Improvement Project/Unofficial Patch===
 +
{{++}} The [https://www.moddb.com/mods/sniper-ghost-warrior-3-improvement-project Improvement Project/Unofficial Patch] is a mod for the game that comes in two variants. The Improvement Project extensively modifies the game, adding new gameplay features, and significantly altering the core gameplay. The Unofficial Patch is focused on bug fixes, leaving the original gameplay largely intact, but fixing issues such as broken key rebinding, day/night cycle, laser sights, texture filtering, and NPCs disappearing at ~250 meters or after being unobserved for longer than two seconds.

SGW3 - Improvement Project/Unofficial Patch

The Improvement Project/Unofficial Patch is a mod for the game that comes in two variants. The Improvement Project extensively modifies the game, adding new gameplay features, and significantly altering the core gameplay. The Unofficial Patch is focused on bug fixes, leaving the original gameplay largely intact, but fixing issues such as broken key rebinding, day/night cycle, laser sights, texture filtering, and NPCs disappearing at ~250 meters or after being unobserved for longer than two seconds.

Borderless fullscreen windowed

Enable borderless fullscreen[3]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\GameSDK\.
  2. Create and open game.cfg.
  3. Add the following and save.
r_fullscreen = 0
r_FullscreenWindow = 1

Anti-aliasing (AA)

By default, the game uses SMAA with a temporal filter. This makes the image blurry and can disorientate some people[4]
Disable temporal filtering[1]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\GameSDK\.
  2. Create and open game.cfg.
  3. Add r_AntialiasingMode = 1 to the file.

Notes

Do not turn AA off completely. It will cause flickering and lighting issues.
Results in a sharper image

Ambient occlusion

Disable ambient occlusion[5]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\GameSDK\.
  2. Create and open game.cfg.
  3. Add r_SSDO = 0 and save.

Screen space reflections

Disable screen space reflections[5]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\GameSDK\.
  2. Create and open game.cfg.
  3. Add r_SSReflections = 0 and save.

Post-processing

Disabling depth of field will disable blurring of distant landscape as well as the radial blur when using iron sights.
Disable post-process effects[5]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\GameSDK\.
  2. Create and open game.cfg.
  3. Add r_DepthOfField = 0 to disable depth of field.
  4. Add r_HDRGrainAmount = 0 to disable film grain.

Disable head bob

Edit configuration files[6]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\GameSDK\.
  2. Create and open game.cfg.
  3. Add the following and save.
cl_speedToBobFactor=0.0
cl_bobSprintMultplier=0.0

Notes

This fix will work for both Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 and Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts
The player's view will not bob while a weapon is held, but will bob if holstered.

Issues fixed

Memory allocation crash

Game crashes due to a memory allocation error even with the required 8 GB of RAM.
Increase Windows page file to a fixed size (e.g. 8192 MB)[1]
See this community guide from Tom's Hardware on how to change the page file.

Long loading times

Exclusive fullscreen with Vsync enabled may cause progress bar in loading screens to stall near the end.
These fixes shorten loading times, especially when launching the game for the first time.
Disable VSync[1]
Use windowed/borderless fullscreen mode[1]

Game crashes and returns to Windows

Savegames folder fix[citation needed]
  1. Go to <Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\368070\remote\savegames\.
  2. Create a backup of savegames.
  3. Launch game and exit.
  4. Copy savegames and paste it in <Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\368070\remote\savegames\, replacing any original files.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/368070/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (368070) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
