Graphics feature State Notes
Widescreen resolution
4:3 and 16:10 aspect ratios are letterboxed, see the WSGF topic for a fix.
Multi-monitor
See the WSGF topic.
Ultra-widescreen
Not selectable in-game and pillarboxed if forced via .ini edit. See the WSGF topic. Possible with the use of UUU's hotsampling tool.[2]
4K Ultra HD
Field of view (FOV)
See the WSGF topic.
Windowed
Borderless fullscreen windowed
Anisotropic filtering (AF)
8x anisotropic filtering is always enabled on every graphics quality setting.[3]
Anti-aliasing (AA)
FXAA quality setting. Up to 4x SSAA and TAA can be forced; see Anti-aliasing (AA).
Vertical sync (Vsync)
60 FPS and 120+ FPS
Frame rate can be capped at 30, 60, 90, 120, 144, or left uncapped.
High dynamic range display (HDR)
See the engine page to force native HDR output, or the glossary page for other alternatives.
The game engine may allow for manual configuration of the game via its variables. See the Unreal Engine 4 page for more details.

Anti-aliasing (AA)

Enable SSAA
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open GameUserSettings.ini.
  3. Change ScreenPercentage=100.000000 to the desired value.

Notes

Values between 100.000000 and 200.000000 are recommended.
Enable TAA
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Engine.ini.
  3. Add this at the bottom: [/script/engine.renderersettings]
  4. Add the following lines below the previous one
r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=2
r.PostProcessAAQuality=6
r.TemporalAASamples=16
r.TemporalAACurrentFrameWeight=0.45
r.TemporalAAFilterSize=0.5

Notes

TAA (Temporal Anti Aliasing) is a sharper form of AA than FXAA, however it causes blurriness during motion. It is recommended to also use the sharpen filter listed further below.

Set custom frame rate cap

Unlock the frame rate
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open GameUserSettings.ini.
  3. Change FrameRateLimit=60.000000 to the desired value.

Notes

The value will reset to default after entering the frame rate option menu ingame.

Improve graphics quality

Implement various tweaks[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Engine.ini.
  3. Add this at the bottom: [/script/engine.renderersettings]
  4. All settings below should be placed under the above line.
  5. Increase draw distance
    • r.ViewDistanceScale=5
    • r.SkeletalMeshLODBias=-2
    • r.StaticMeshLODDistanceScale=0.25
      • r.ViewDistanceScale=5 can be lowered or increased. A value around 3-5 is recommended to minimize visible pop-in. 1 is the default.
      • May have a substantial performance impact depending on your hardware.
  6. Improve shadow quality
    • r.Shadow.MaxResolution=8192
    • r.Shadow.CSM.MaxCascades=16
    • r.Shadow.TexelsPerPixel=10
    • r.Shadow.RadiusThreshold=0.01
      • This will also eliminate pop-in of shadows on smaller objects.
      • r.Shadow.MaxResolution=8192 can be lowered for increased performance. 512 is the default.
      • May have a substantial performance impact depending on your hardware.
  7. Add sharpen filter
    • r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=1
      • This will sharpen the image to offset the blur caused by FXAA and TAA. A value between 0.5-1.0 is recommended. It has no performance impact.
  8. Enable motion blur
    • r.MotionBlurQuality=4
    • r.MotionBlur.Amount=0.3
    • r.MotionBlur.Max=1
    • r.MotionBlur.Scale=1
    • r.MotionBlurSeparable=1
      • Motion blur can help to disguise the TAA blurring effect, as well as make a low frame rate feel smoother. It may have a small performance impact. It may also cause motion sickness and a headache for some.

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>/742120/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (742120) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
