Introduction

Are you a PC gamer that what to run this game to the max of the max or want to run this on a potato? well, this guide will help you adjust the graphic to make this game look beautiful or potato.

Adjusting the Quallity – the Files

There two files that you can adjust the quality of the texture, models, etc. in:

• [C:UsersYOUNAMEHEREAppDataLocalPineappleSavedConfigWindowsNoEditor]

I highly recommend setting these two files to read-only/b[] (by right-clicking them and click properties) if you are going to edit them as this will stop the game overwriting them.

Adjusting the Quallity – GameUserSetting.ini

The first file called “GameUserSettings.ini” (from testing this doesn’t change the quality of texture and models)Inside you can adjust these value (note some are cap at 3 or 4 unless you make the file read-only)

What inside the GameUserSettings.ini

Configable settings

[ScalabilityGroups]

sg.ResolutionQuality=    

• Value: 100.00000.
• Adjust render resolution (1-100).

sg.ViewDistanceQuality=    

• Value: 3.
• Adjust view distance quality (0-4).

sg.AntiAliasingQuality=

Below this, you can turn on other options but these are just displayed and resolution settings.

bUseVSync=

• Value: True.
• Enable or dissable VSync, Great for 60hz screen as it removes screen tearing (True – False).

bUseDynamicResolution=

• Value: False.
• Change the resolution depending what on-screen to achieve a stable FPS (most notably on the switch port).

ResolutionSizeX=

• Value: 1920.
• Set the pixel count of X value (what your monitor resolution is).

ResolutionSizey=

• Value: 1080.
• Set the pixel count of Y value (what your monitor resolution is).

FullscreenMode=

• Value: 1.
• Enable or disable Fullscreen mode (0 = off 1 = on).

• Value: 0.
• Adjust the Audio Quality (haven’t notice any quality differents if the value is changed to a higher or lower number).

FrameRateLimit=

• Value: 0.000000.
• Cap the FrameRate to a Pacific number.

bUseHDRDisplayOutput=

• Value: False.
• Enable or disable HDR (Highly recommend turning it on if you have a HRD Screen).

HDRDisplayOutputNits=

• Value: 1000.
• Something Related to HRD Settings (can’t test this as I don’t own a HDR Display).

Adjusting the Quallity – Engine.ini (If GameUserSetting.ini Doesn’t Change Much)

The Second file called “Engine.ini” is where you can make a lot of changes to make this game look potato and give you PC an FPS boost (Personally I found this to be more effective than GameUserSettings.ini).

By default, the file only has this section:

If you want to Adjust the quality of texture, models, LOD, etc. You have to add these line of code.

[SystemSettings]

r.ViewDistanceScale=

• Value (min-max): 0-5.
• Change the View distance of object poping in (lower number = more pop in).

r.MaterialQualityLevel=

• Value (min-max): 0-5.
• Change the foliage draw distance, a higher number will make grass render more in the distance.

r.MotionblurQuality=

• Value (min-max): 0-4.
• Enable or disable motion blur and adjust how strong it is. (0 = off).

r.SkeletalMeshLODBias=

• Value (min-max): -5 – 5.
• Adjust the quality of LOD from a distance, Higher number = worse, but can be set to “-number” which give you better LOD but will impact performance.

r.MipMapLodBias=

• Value (min-max): Higher number = blurry, while “-number” make it sharper.
• Make texture blurry or sharper.

foliage.LODDistanceScale=

• Value (min-max): 0 – 20.
• Grass and tree render at higher or lower quality at a distance. lower number = lower quality in the distance while a higher number makes it a higher quality in the distance.

r.Fog=

• Value (min-max): 0 – 1.
• Disable or enable fog. 0 = off 1 = on.

Your Engine.ini should look something like this:
