Game Tips

Add-ons

Configuration

Setting Options Keybind Description
AutoApplyConfig off,on   automatically reload settings when config changes - primarily to be used with the UPM overlay
BetterReflectionSDFs game,off,on,on_epic,on_insane   Increases the resolution of meshes in global software lumen space, most noticeable in reflections
Bloom game/0-3   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
DLSSFrameGeneration game,off,on   allows toggling DLSS frame generation
DarkerGrass game,on   darkens grass and adds more shadowing - could look weird in some places
DebugLogging off,on   enable verbose debug logging to UE4SS console - use ALT+D to toggle at runtime
Denoiser game,none,none_temporalgihigh,temporal,temporal_high,rayreconstruction,rayreconstruction_temporalgihigh F2 Changes global illumination and reflection denoising - allows enabling ray reconstruction - temporal high settings increase the amount of temporal information to reduce noise at the cost of ghosting
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,veryhigh,epic,insane   epic matches in-game epic, insane is higher quality
FOV game/10-30   !THIS IS INVERTED - 10 is higher than 30 which is roughly the default
FilmGrain game,off,on   film grain effect control
Fog game,off,on,on_with_lumen   Turns fog on or off, if on_with_lumen is provided then it allows enabling fog in lumen space (GI and reflections)
FogIntensity game/0-1   controls fog scattering intensity, game = use game default of 0.75
HDR game,off,on   HDR output control
HighQualityTracing game,off,high,veryhigh,epic CTRL+F8 More accurate tracing of meshes for reflections and global illumination
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
LensFlareIntensity game/0-2   Lens flare intensity scale (0.0 = off, 1.0 = default, 2.0 = double, game = use game default)
LightingAO lumen,ssao,gtao F7 Changes ambient occlusion method between Lumen, SSAO, or GTAO - lumen_less_noise is the safest default as full lumen may introduce shimmering/noise
LightingCompatibility off,on   fixes edge cases with lighting RGB artifacts, such as in splitscreen or when using odd resolutions
LightingMode game,uplus F8 lighting mode - uplus for default enhanced lighting
LightingNoiseQuality game,standard,high,veryhigh,epic,insane   Higher noise quality reduces noise at the cost of performance, but costs less than increasing lighting quality
LightingQuality game,medium,high,veryhigh,epic,insane CTRL+F10 Standard lighting quality is the recommended default, higher lighting qualities will reduce noise and increase the detail of lighting in the scene particularly around smaller object
LightingResolution low,medium,high,veryhigh,epic,insane F6 lighting resolution quality - higher quality is more accurate lighting at the cost of performance - standard in-game epic (the same as epic in this setting) is typically x16 downsampling which is usually not necessary, medium (x32) is the minimum recommended
LumenDiffuseColorBoost game/0-5   Increases diffuse lighting especially from local lights
LumenTraceDistance game/20000-40000   Maximum distance of objects traced in the lumen scene
MoreShadows game,on   restores shadow casting for P__Grass foliage and tree meshes. Enabling takes effect immediately; disabling needs a game restart
MotionBlur game/0-1   Ultra+ 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
RayTracingCullingAngle game/0.0-3.0   controls ray tracing culling angle (smaller = less obvious culling pop-in)
RayTracingCullingRadius game/10000-40000   controls ray tracing culling radius (10000 = minimum, 60000 = maximum, game = use game default)
Raytracing game,on   enables raytracing
ReduceInputLatency game,off,on   reduce input latency at potential FPS cost if not GPU bound
ReflectionBias game/0-1   Adds smoothing to reflections to make them more mirror like, a small amount is usually beneficial
ReflectionDownsample game,on   uses custom checkerboard downsampling for a balance between visuals and performance
ReflectionHitLighting game,on,on_high   modifies reflections to use hit lighting instead of surface cache (much more detailed and feasible for disabling screentraces) - on_high costs more VRAM
ReflectionMaxRoughness game/0.2-1.0   Maximum roughness for reflections (0.2 = less rough, 0.6 = max roughness used by game, game = use game default) - lowering this can change visuals but drastically reduce noise and increase performance especially with hit lighting
ReflectionSpecularScale game/0.5-3.0   scales Lumen reflection specular intensity, game = use game default of 1.0
ScreenSpaceGI game,off,on   Allows disabling the Lumen GI screen space component which can cause flickering on local light sources
ScreenSpaceReflections game,off,on,minimal   Allows disabling the Lumen reflection screen space component, usually safest with hardware lumen to reduce screen space artifacts
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
TextureQuality game,veryhigh,epic   increases pool size and quality
TranslucentReflections game,off,on,on_with_raytracing,on_veryhigh_raytracing,on_epic_raytracing   adds detailed reflections to translucent materials - on_with_raytracing includes more materials and effects that were missing in raytracing and requires ReflectionHitLighting with Nanite RT fix, costs 3-4 fps
TuneLightSources game,on   modify light sources to increase radius and indirect lighting and improve issues with overdark corners
UltrawideFix off,on   removes camera aspect ratio constraints to eliminate black bars
Upscaler off,dlss_4.5,dlss_rayreconstruction,dlss,other   select your active upscaler to auto-configure denoising - dlss_4.5 uses Denoiser none_temporalgihigh, dlss_rayreconstruction uses the rayreconstruction Denoiser variant, both force MegaLights no-temporal variants; other upscalers use temporal Denoiser and MegaLights variants. off leaves Denoiser/MegaLightsQuality under manual control
Vignette game,off,on F3 vignette effect control
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
