Presets Explained

– Ultra Quality: Looks the same or better than the original games graphics, while still providing an FPS boost.

– Quality, Balanced & Performance: Looks extremely similar to the base games graphics. Small downgrades

& some improvements while providing a large boost to FPS.

– Ultra Performance & Low Spec Gaming: Looks noticeably worse than the base game graphics, but provides an extremely large boost to FPS.

– Ultra Low Spec Gaming: Prioritizes performance maximally the highest framerate possible

Note: The mode marked "Lumen Off" may cause lighting issues, since games using

Lumen lack fallback lighting. This can make areas appear unlit, too

bright, or hair appear whitish. I’ve replicated SSGI and re-tonemapped

the game to minimize these problems as much as possible.

You can combine other mods with mine by opening up the Engine.ini file & pasting
