Main files
-
Extract to main install directory... Read description (especially the known issues)... Updated for game v2.0
-
Alternate version for modern GPUs (GTX 10 series or newer, or equivalent AMD cards)... Could still result in less performance than the main file on some newer cards, so be sure to test both if this doesn't boost your FPS enough... Updated for game v2.0
-
Alternate version that contains all tweaks with toggles for some of them in-game (the optional variants of some things)... REQUIRES CET... If you are updating, please delete old versions first...
Update files
-
Minor tweaks to in-game Resolution Scaling options (FSR, DLSS, and DRS)... Shouldn't affect visuals too much and provides a nice boost to performance... FSR/DRS users will see more benefit than DLSS users, but it does tweak DLSS a bit, too...
-
Tweaks for RTX... Doesn't degrade visuals to a noticeable degree and should improve RT performance... Based on comments, seems to at least improve FPS lows... Extract to game install folder...
-
Sets RT tracing distances to 75% of their default values... May be slightly noticeable visually, but should provide a real nice boost to FPS (at least lows)... I'd suggest to use this alongside the "0RTX_Tweaks_More_Aggressive" file...
-
Install main tweaks, then install this... Overwrite file when prompted... Only suggested to use if you have a 6 Core (or more) CPU... This could lower performance compared to main file, but will allow more dense crowds if you have the headroom for them...
Optional files
-
Disables (or enables) a few features that aren't super visually noticeable for a few extra frames... Probably won't notice them at all if you don't check the file to see what they are...lol... v1.1 removed rain tweaks... They're available separate now...
-
This will only really help if you're VRAM-limited (might help if RAM or HDD speed limited also)... Reduces some lighting and shadows settings, mostly for distant and cascade shadows... I only gain about 1FPS on my lows with this personally at 1440p...
-
Lowers Mip Bias value by 25%... Probably visually noticeable (moreso at higher resolutions, I'd think), but should provide a really nice boost to performance... WARNING: This can kinda break some modded clothing (and possibly other modded textures/models)
-
Disables Rainmap and ScreenSpace rain effects... Only really useful for low-end hardware, but should boost FPS lows a bit on any system... Used to be included in "0Feature_Toggles", but this is more noticeable than the other tweaks, so separated them...
-
More aggressive tweaks... Increases Ambient Occlusion denoising radius while decreasing other settings... Should result in a slightly clearer image vs Vanilla while maintaining better FPS lows...
Thank you for testing @ebuNexus and everyone else :) -
New saving and loading tweaks for game version 2.0... This was removed from the main files because it caused progression issues in Phantom Liberty, but I have made some changes and it seems fine now... Just be aware that it could still cause these issues.
