Configuration
| Setting | Options | Keybind | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bloom | game/0-3 | CTRL+F3 | Bloom intensity (0.0 = off, 1.0 = default, 2.0 = double, game = use game default) |
| ChromaticAberration | game,off,on | Recommend disabling in most games as it often just blurs the image for no benefit | |
| DepthOfField | game,off,on,on_less_blurry | depth of field control - off reduces noise in cutscenes | |
| EnableKeybinds | off,on | Enables individual setting keybinds if they are available, does not change global keybinds | |
| ExtendedFogQuality | game,epic,ultra,insane | extended volumetric fog quality settings | |
| ExtendedShadowQuality | game,epic,ultra,insane | increases shadow resolution | |
| FilmGrain | game,off,on | film grain effect control | |
| Fog | game,off,on | Turns fog on or off, if on_with_lumen is provided then it allows enabling fog in lumen space (GI and reflections) | |
| LODBias | game,off,minuspoint5,minus1,minus1point5,minus2 | Forces textures to be higher resolution, -0.5 is the safest, more can cause frequency patterns to appear, some games benefit from more than others | |
| LODDistanceScale | game,high,veryhigh,epic,ultra,insane | Draw static meshes and foliage at higher quality further away | |
| LensFlare | game,off,on | Allows disabling lens flare | |
| MotionBlur | game/0-1 | F4 | U+ improves motion blur quality in every game by default, recommend a small amount of blur ~0.2 |
| PostProcessingTonemapperPreset | game,vanilla,morecontrast | CTRL+F6 | more_contrast setting can add more depth to the scene |
| RayReconstruction | game,off,on | toggles ray reconstruction | |
| ReduceInputLatency | game,off,on | reduce input latency at potential FPS cost if not GPU bound | |
| Sharpness | game/0-1 | Control UE tonemapper sharpness - recommend setting this to 0 and using RCAS through reshade | |
| SkylightIntensity | game/0-3 | Skylight is a flat amount of light added to the scene, it mostly effects outdoors unless a game uses it to light interiors | |
| ViewDistanceScale | game,one,two,three,four | increases view distance scale, affects foliage most noticeably | |
| VolumetricFog | game,off,on,on_disable_emissive | F5 | Turns volumetric fog on or off, if on_disable_emissive is provided - it disables the emissive component of fog which can cause fog to be overly intense and washed out |
