In general, it is best to edit the config file in the user configuration directory, as this should take priority over all others and work even if the game ships with encrypted config files. The file is usually located in {{folder|{{P|localappdata}}\<Game>\Saved\Config\}}. | ||

High dynamic range (HDR)
For a list of known games and their specifics, see Unreal Engine 4-5 games where HDR can be forced.
Unreal Engine 5 have native HDR output that can be forced in many newer games with mixed results.

Other information
Permanent console variable (cvar) changes
- Like most engines that use console variables, Unreal Engine 5 has a config file that the variables' values are read from at startup.
- Unlike in most engines, the method it uses may not be obvious. Editing files such as
Scalability.inicould result in entered values being ignored depending on the graphics settings. - Entering cvars into
Engine.iniinstead should ensure the value changes will take place.
Add cvar name/values to Engine.ini
