Echoes of Aincrad – PC User Graphics Guide

PC Graphics Configuration Guide

Echoes of Aincrad uses Unreal Engine 5, allowing graphics settings to be customized through the Engine.ini file.

How to Edit Engine.ini

1. Close the game.
2. Press Windows + R.
3. Enter the following path:

%localappdata%\EchoesofAincrad\Saved\Config\WindowsClient\Engine.ini

4. Open Engine.ini with a text editor.
5. Add or edit the desired settings at the bottom of the file.
6. Save the file.
7. Set Engine.ini to Read Only to prevent the game from overwriting your changes.

Recommended Base Settings

These settings disable several visual effects and improve image clarity.

[SystemSettings]
r.MotionBlurQuality=0
r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=0
r.AntiAliasingMethod=2
r.PostProcessAAQuality=2
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=1.0
r.MaxAnisotropy=16
r.TextureStreaming=0
r.VolumetricFog=0
r.ViewDistanceScale=2.0

Reduce TSR Blur

If you are using TSR anti-aliasing, add the following settings to reduce image blur.

r.AntiAliasingMethod=2
r.TemporalAACurrentFrameWeight=0.20
r.TemporalAASamples=4
r.TemporalAASharpness=0.75

Disable the Default Upscaling

By default, the game renders at approximately 70% internal resolution before upscaling. Disabling this renders the game at native resolution, resulting in:

• Sharper UI
• Clearer NPC faces
• Improved overall image quality

However, this has a significant impact on performance.

Before using these settings:

• Remove the TSR section above.
• Set r.AntiAliasingMethod=0 (FXAA).

r.AntiAliasingMethod=0
r.ScreenPercentage=100
r.TemporalAA.Upsampling=0
r.DynamicRes.OperationMode=0

Personal Configuration (Radeon RX 9070 XT)

The following configuration is the author’s personal setup for an RX 9070 XT.

[SystemSettings]
r.MotionBlurQuality=0
r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=0

r.PostProcessAAQuality=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=1.0
r.MaxAnisotropy=16
r.TextureStreaming=0
r.VolumetricFog=0
r.ViewDistanceScale=2.0

r.ScreenPercentage=100
r.TemporalAA.Upsampling=0
r.DynamicRes.OperationMode=0
r.AntiAliasingMethod=0

Additional Notes

• Unreal Engine 5 supports many more configurable .ini options. Advanced users can further customize graphics quality by editing additional engine settings.
• Native rendering (100% Screen Percentage) provides the sharpest image but requires substantially more GPU performance than the default upscaled rendering.
