Better FPS files modification click here!

[Stoowox]

Here is the new very simplified guide! I leave the old guide down below for reference only.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2570659427


Start of the old long guide
-------------
So, I don't have time for this but I found out how to make the game smoother, better FPS average, without making the game an ugly mess (like putting the Lighting at Low...lol :P). It will have some rare visual glitches, especially with the shadows, but it's the price to pay I guess! Feel free to put more time on this, modify, pinpoint what's the problems and share this information from yourself.

By default if you lower the rendering scale under Normal, it will go to 71%. With my settings, you put it at 85%, a good balance. And some other settings that will help to make the game more fluid, like a lot. Like I said, I don't have time with this, to pinpoint what settings and what value is needed or perfect, but it works. Played some hours with that, no problem. BU is so much more fun when it's smooth.

The files are where you installed the game, mine is:
D:\SteamGames\steamapps\common\Bless Unleashed\Bless\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Open the file Engine.ini and at the end of the document paste this (by the way, I found out that "r.AllowLandscapeShadows=0" is making the game A LOT smoother):

[SystemSettings]
r.DefaultFeature.AmbientOcclusion=1
r.DefaultFeature.AmbientOcclusionStaticFraction=0
r.DefaultFeature.Bloom=0
r.DefaultFeature.LensFlare=0
r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=0
r.RayTracing=0
r.AllowLandscapeShadows=0
r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0
r.Tonemapper.Quality=0

Save and make the file read-only if you want.

Open the file GameUserSettings.ini and replace all the [ScalabilityGroups] portion to:

[ScalabilityGroups]
sg.ResolutionQuality=85.000000
sg.ViewDistanceQuality=2
sg.AntiAliasingQuality=2
sg.ShadowQuality=1
sg.PostProcessQuality=0
sg.TextureQuality=4
sg.EffectsQuality=1
sg.FoliageQuality=1

Save and make the file read-only if you want.

Open the file Scalability.ini it should be empty so paste all this:

[ShadowQuality@1]
r.ShadowQuality=4
r.Shadow.PerObject=0
r.Shadow.Preshadows=0
r.AllowLandscapeShadows=1
r.Shadow.MaxResolution=512
r.Shadow.MaxCSMResolution=512
r.SimpleDynamicLighting=1
r.Shadow.RadiusThreshold=0.02
r.Shadow.DistanceScale=0.6
r.Shadow.TransitionScale=0.6
r.DFShadowQuality=0

[PostProcessQuality@0]
r.LightShafts=0
r.LightShaftBlurPasses=0
r.LightFunctionQuality=0
r.BlurGBuffer=0
r.AmbientOcclusionRadiusScale=0
r.RenderTargetPoolMin=0
r.TonemapperQuality=0

[EffectsQuality@1]
r.RefractionQuality=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.SeparateTranslucency=0
r.SkyLightingQuality=0
r.MobileHDR=0
r.Atmosphere=0
r.Fog=0
r.FogDensity=0
r.SSR=0
r.MaterialQualityLevel=0
r.ReflectionEnvironment=0
r.EyeAdaptationQuality=0
r.ParticleLODBias=10
r.landscapeLODBias=1
r.MipMapLODBias=0.5
r.StaticMeshLODDistanceScale=0.70
r.SkeletalMeshLODBias=0
r.ViewDistanceScale=0.6
r.Upscale.Quality=2

Save and make the file read-only if you want.

Smooth Bless Unleashed without ugly Lighting Low graphics! Game is good!

Thanks :)

Do you know which one of these settings might turn off the motion blur when sprinting on mounts because none of the in game settings can do it.

Is there a setting for chromatic aberration because it is causing me a headache after time and I wish to turn it off.

I don't know how sorry :( I really don't like motion blur when sprinting with mount.
Don't have time to play today, don't remember if r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=0 disable it just on foot and not on mount. Sorry.

Try to add these lines in Engine.ini:

[SystemSettings]
r.SceneColorFringe.Max=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0

I might try it myself haha, chromatic aberration is an abomination.

Well, it's actually working for me.
Tested on three older rigs with GTX 970, RX 570 and GTX 1080.
With those settings above - ive got stable 1080p@60fps everywhere, world bosses fight with xx people, cities, dungeons, open world roaming, everywhere.
And game looks good enough for me.

Just one humble ask Stoowox - if youre making some edits in thread - make please some notes with you changes. because i see you already edited your topic, but i dont know, what you did - some regular typos corretion, or some important changes/updates in engine code.

Meantime - thanks for this, OP, and take some points, because its really helpful.

[Stoowox]

I changed only typos, thanks for the tips! I'm glad it's working.

there is a way to turn off Depth of Field?

Yes, in Scalability.ini add this under the [EffectsQuality@1] section:
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0

I did not include it in my guide because there is some mountains pop-in in the landscape and assets like castles, etc don't look that great from a distance in this game, so I prefer to blurry the distance. You could try r.DepthOfFieldQuality=1, maybe it's less blurry than default of the game, I don't know.

thank you for the fix, my game now run perfectly and still beautiful as well

maybe im asking for alot but any chance we can get these with comments next to the options as to what each option does? just to optimize certain things. Thanks

To be honest, I don't know what I'm doing so I'm sorry I can't do that. Most are pretty much self explanatory tho. One thing I can tell you is that "r.AllowLandscapeShadows=0" that you add in Engine.ini gave me 15-20FPS boost. I guess the shadows in the landscape are not important.

Can you post a screenshot of the difference? I'm sorry to be a bother. I guess i can trial and error it all and see if it looks different. I don't know.

Can you say if the file modification keep the changes after developers maintenance patchs? Becouse if this files changes after every game patch, maybe could it make game crash somehow? Just asking i dont know if it can happen becouse im not good to work with ini files.
