Ultra Plus 2.0 Features

Quality Presets

Ultra+ includes both shipped and auto-generated (generated upon loading into the game) preset configurations:

Included Presets

• uplus_defaults: Sets many settings to recommended defaults

Auto-Generated Presets

• low_preset.ini: Performance-focused settings
• medium_preset.ini: Balanced quality/performance
• high_preset.ini: High quality settings
• veryhigh_preset.ini: Very high quality
• epic_preset.ini: Maximum quality settings

Games with raytracing will generate an additional set of raytracing presets.

Recommended Usage

1. Apply uplus_defaults preset
2. Apply your desired quality level preset (low/medium/high/veryhigh/epic)
3. Fine-tune individual settings as needed using UPM, hotkeys, or the config file

Graphics Toggle

Ultra+ 2.0 includes a convenient toggle feature that allows you to instantly switch between vanilla game graphics and Ultra+ enhanced graphics:

• Default Keybind: ALT + F2
• Instant Switching: No game restart required
• Perfect for Comparisons: Easily compare vanilla vs Ultra+ visuals
• Customizable: Keybind can be changed in keybinds.ini

This feature is perfect for testing different settings, showing before/after comparisons, or quickly reverting to vanilla graphics if needed.

Dynamic FPS System

The Dynamic FPS feature automatically adjusts graphics settings to maintain your target framerate:

• Intelligent Adjustment: Monitors FPS and automatically tweaks Lighting Quality, Lighting Resolution, and Reflection Quality
• Weighted Optimization: Uses performance impact weights to make smart setting changes
• Stability Control: Waits for consistent FPS readings before making adjustments
• Quality Balance: Prevents over-optimization by maintaining visual quality balance
• Manual Override: Press ALT + F12 to disable and lock current settings

Note that it is currently limited in scope of what can be changed to achieve your FPS target.

How it works

• Set DynamicFPS=60 (or your target) in UltraPlusConfig.ini
• System monitors average FPS over 3-frame windows
• When FPS drops below 95% of target, reduces quality settings for better performance
• When FPS exceeds 105% of target, increases quality settings for better visuals
• Makes up to 2 setting changes per adjustment cycle with 5-second delays between changes

Tips

• Find a desired testing location and set DynamicFPS to desired FPS. Wait 20-30 seconds and settings will adjust (may be faster).
• At this point you can choose to either leave the feature enabled and it will slowly adjust settings while you play
• Alternate option is to reach desired target and then press Alt + F12 to save you current settings and disable dynamic changes.
