Bless Unleashed – Better FPS with Unreal Engine 4 Tweaks

Guide to Better FPS Average

All credit goes to Stoowox!

Foreword

So, I don’t have time for this but I found out how to make the game smoother, better FPS average, without making the game an ugly mess (like putting the Lighting at Low…lol :P). It will have some rare visual glitches, especially with the shadows, but it’s the price to pay I guess! Feel free to put more time on this, modify, pinpoint what’s the problems and share this information from yourself.

By default if you lower the rendering scale under Normal, it will go to 71%. With my settings, you put it at 85%, a good balance. And some other settings that will help to make the game more fluid, like a lot. Like I said, I don’t have time with this, to pinpoint what settings and what value is needed or perfect, but it works. Played some hours with that, no problem. BU is so much more fun when it’s smooth.

How-To

The files are where you installed the game, mine is:

• D:SteamGamessteamappscommonBless UnleashedBlessSavedConfigWindowsNoEditor

Backup the files used in this guide below before modifying them.

Open the file Engine.ini and at the end of the document paste this (by the way, I found out that “r.AllowLandscapeShadows=0” is making the game a lot smoother):

[SystemSettings]
r.DefaultFeature.AmbientOcclusion=1
r.DefaultFeature.AmbientOcclusionStaticFraction=0
r.DefaultFeature.AutoExposure=0
r.DefaultFeature.Bloom=0
r.DefaultFeature.LensFlare=0
r.DefaultFeature.Motionblur=0
r.RayTracing=0
r.AllowLandscapeShadows=0
r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0
r.Tonemapper.Quality=0

Save and make the file read-only if you want.

Open the file GameUserSettings.ini and replace all the [ScalabilityGroups] portion to:

[ScalabilityGroups]
sg.ResolutionQuality=85.000000
sg.ViewDistanceQuality=2
sg.AntiAliasingQuality=2
sg.ShadowQuality=1
sg.PostProcessQuality=0
sg.TextureQuality=4
sg.EffectsQuality=1
sg.FoliageQuality=1

Save and make the file read-only if you want.

Open the file Scalability.ini it should be empty so paste all this:

[ShadowQuality@1]
r.ShadowQuality=4
r.Shadow.PerObject=0
r.Shadow.Preshadows=0
r.AllowLandscapeShadows=1
r.Shadow.MaxResolution=512
r.Shadow.MaxCSMResolution=512
r.SimpleDynamicLighting=1
r.Shadow.RadiusThreshold=0.02
r.Shadow.DistanceScale=0.6
r.Shadow.TransitionScale=0.6
r.DFShadowQuality=0

[PostProcessQuality@0]
r.LightShafts=0
r.LightShaftBlurPasses=0
r.LightFunctionQuality=0
r.BlurGBuffer=0
r.AmbientOcclusionRadiusScale=0
r.RenderTargetPoolMin=0
r.TonemapperQuality=0

[EffectsQuality@1]
r.RefractionQuality=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.SeparateTranslucency=0
r.SkyLightingQuality=0
r.MobileHDR=0
r.Atmosphere=0
r.Fog=0
r.FogDensity=0
r.SSR=0
r.MaterialQualityLevel=0
r.ReflectionEnvironment=0
r.EyeAdaptationQuality=0
r.ParticleLODBias=10
r.landscapeLODBias=1
r.MipMapLODBias=0.5
r.StaticMeshLODDistanceScale=0.70
r.SkeletalMeshLODBias=0
r.ViewDistanceScale=0.6
r.Upscale.Quality=2

Save and make the file read-only if you want.

Smooth Bless Unleashed without ugly Lighting Low graphics! Game is good!
