Graphics Tweak

[Kronos[X]]

I got a great graphics tweak for everyone. Every since I installed the UT3 demo, the graphics just didn't seem right , it looked a little blurred and the colour seemed off. Last night I came across a tweak and just got around to testing it today, and boy what a difference. I'll show you some pics first a then tell you how to do it.

You have to edit the UTEngine.ini
Its now located in My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3 Demo\UTGame\Config

Its always best to save the file somewhere else first just in case.

Open that file and look for this
[SystemSettings]
StaticDecals=True
DynamicDecals=True
DynamicLights=True
DynamicShadows=True
LightEnvironmentShadows=True
CompositeDynamicLights=False
DirectionalLightmaps=True
MotionBlur=True
DepthOfField=True
Bloom=True
QualityBloom=True
Distortion=True
DropParticleDistortion=False
SpeedTreeLeaves=True
SpeedTreeFronds=True
OnlyStreamInTextures=True
LensFlares=True
FogVolumes=True
FloatingPointRenderTargets=True
Trilinear=True

Ok so now you want to change MotionBlur, DepthOfField, QualityBloom and Trilinear to False. Save file and enjoy.

it was Kronos. GF man, i'm off to try it out now.

Hmmm i have motion blur etc turned on but it doesn't look half as bad as that. I wonder if it's because i'm using the max available settings.

I also use post processing as vivid.

[MajorDeath]

Oops sry Kronos! Great find! I feel like I'm playing a different game. Looks like I feel it should now! Nice and crisp! I never liked that motion blur on games. MY FPS got a nice jump to guys!

Just set the game to max settings, mute "Post processing" and disable "Depth of Field" via ini file.

How can I tell the ut3 engine that it should use my 3 GB of ram instead of streaming it the ugly way?

[drunken_chef]

i found another tweak that helped out my 7950 GT

this helps hitches on Nvidia 6 and 7 series cards :

[Engine.ISVHacks]
UseMinimalNVIDIADriverShaderOptimization=False.

Change that line to

UseMinimalNVIDIADriverShaderOptimization=True

[MajorDeath]

What does that do??? I have a 7950gt and am rolling maxed out with 30-60fps.

[drunken_chef]

i got hitches every now and then. it got rid of them.

edit: i can't believe i'm helping a packers fan :P

[Sirex]

someone check this out will they?
in UTEngine

[Engine.UTPawn]

Add these

bUnlit=true
bCorona=true

see if they still work, i cant tell

[drunken_chef]

doesn't bloom control coronas now?

[KurlonT]

World Detail@1 = UT2K4 look
World Detail@2+ = Gears of War look

Found this when making the Key Guide and the fact I can only run it at level 1 anyways (it sets most of those to False)...

[CarbonFire]

Wow, that looks 100% better! Also seems to run much better as well....smooth as glass even Gonna play around in that file for a bit, see if I can't squeeze even more clarity out of this

Thanks Kronos[X]

Depth of Field was the only one set to true on mine.

Mine were already all set to these values.

EDIT: NM. I didn't read the tweak message all the way.
