config file performance mode. - managed to get things functional enough to run off directx9, though you could change it to directx11 if you wanted to.

[burger boy]

since we can't post files, i'll just paste the config file's contents here for you, hopefully it'll help out anybody that's struggling with performance issues.
-- all you'll need to do is copy / paste them into an blank config file, save it, and then set it to " read-only " via right-clicking on the file, and going to its properties. ( stops the game from overwriting it. ).

can you also list all the changes you made to the config file?

as far as the changes made go, here's what i remember changing:

Fog_Enable=false ( switched from true to false. ).
Capability=DirectX9 ( switched from x12 to x9, though x11 works too. ).
RenderWorkerThreadPriorityAboveNormal=Enable ( switched from disable to enable. ).
ChromaticAberration=false ( switched from true to false. ).
DepthOfFieldEnable=false ( switched from true to false, and fixed typo for " field ", as it said " filed ". ).
DynamicResolutionScaling=false ( switched from true to false. ).
DynamicShadowEnable=false ( switched from true to false. ).
FilmGrainEnable=false ( switched from true to false. ).
GodRayEnable=false ( switched from true to false. ).
LensDistortionSetting=OFF ( switched from on to off. ).
LensFlareEnable=false ( switched from true to false. ).
RayTracingReflectionEnable=false ( switched from true to false. ).
RayTracingShadowEnable=false ( switched from true to false. ).
MinimumStreamingTextureResolution=MinimumStreamingTextureResolution_256 ( fixed typo for " resolution ". ).
[RenderDeviceDirectX9] ( switched x12 to x9, though x11 works too. ).
ParallelBuildProcessorCount=16 ( switched 8 to 16. ).

apologies if i missed anything, spent hours going through all the settings trying to optimise things.

Hey, ive managed to get the game working on my 580 with this config, got 40fps without framegen, and around 75-80 with framegen on, but theres a little problem with some textures, some buildings and caves have their textures glitching/flickering, as for textures of monsters, weapons, npcs, endemic life everything else is working perfectly, i wonder if you have any idea of what might make those textures glitch like that, if there's any line i could change so that the flickering stops ocurring, or if my case is a lost cause lol, thanks in advance

My setup in case it helps:
Cpu: Ryzen5 5500
Gpu: Rx 580 series 8bg vram

i updated the config slightly, and made an guide for it.
-- ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3437782092 ).

made sure to list all the config-specific changes that couldn't be done in-game at the bottom too.
-- it now uses even less system resources, and has some additional fixes to help prevent crashes, and make it easier for low vram systems to run the game.

hopefully it helps, as for an direct fix on the flickering texture issue, it might help to also run the game with the steam advanced launch options ( -high -useallavailablecores -autoconfig -graphics-low ), without the brackets.
-- you could also use the ( intel graphics command center ( beta ) ) program, to further lower the game's impact on the system by creating an profile for it, with all the settings at their lowest.
additionally, it has been reportedly helpful to use the ( nvidia geforce experience ) program, to force the game to use the latest dlss version, you'll have to add the game to the list, and then configure that option from its dropdown settings list below.

-- it being an guide should help people find it easier without having to dig back through the list of discussions.

apologies for not being able to help more.
