Disable Sharpening?

[messiah_xiii]

Can anyone with UE5 knowledge help with disabling the terrible sharpening in this game? Thanks in advance!

Use dlss for the super resolution algo, no frame generation. There's still issues, but it's much better

I'm currently at 75% render scale with DLSS and FG on. Are you saying that FG contributes to the sharpening?

This game is super oversharped. I have problems more with bad graphics than fps drops. 4080 super. Use DLSS. TSR makes game more blurry, but it still oversharped. Just look at grass, trees and so on.

I turned DLSS from 65% to 32%. It became more blurry, but maybe it looks better than oversharped. And I turned on RT to Ultra (RT was off before) and image became much better.
I suppose this game was made for RT only. I played many games without RT the most of games, but Wu Kong have no normal shadows without RT

I've tried adding:
[ConsoleVariables]
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=0

and

[SystemSettings]
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=0

to the Engine.ini and GameUserSettings.ini files but neither seems to make a difference.

Some games don't get ruined by sharpening in DLSS and nVidia improves it now and then...

A Good example of what I mean is RDR2. Enable sharpening and DLSS at any level and then look at some trees in the midfield (or even grass) and then pan the camera little bit and stop (repeat).

You will see the color of the leaves and grass shifting to overbright then dim. It happens to all colors but the greens in rdr2 are an easy to spot example.

I love the sharpening but I knew others wouldn't. I am running on Very High (I've heard Cinematic isn't enough diff to be worth it) and DLSS On Quality, with everything else on max. It's definitely sharp but not bothering me.

Digital Foundry talks about this sharpening stuff in their video. Odd they made this a forced thing though.

[Biledriver]

So uh, where's the gameusersettings.ini file found, anyway?

Alex Battaglia from Digital Foundry has confirmed the only way to turn off shaprening for now is using Unreal Engine Unlocker. Then, once injected, you have to add the input to open up the console and you'll be able to turn off the r.ToneMapper.Sharpen setting.

Honestly a lot of steps to enjoy the game :/

put the files here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BlackMythWukong\b1\Binaries\Win64

open the SUWF file and if you don't have a 32:9 monitor disable [Patch:AspectRatioLimit]. You must change Enabled=true with Enabled=false

Now under [Patch:DisableSharpening] change Enabled=false with Enabled=true

save the file

Thank you but I would prefer a solution that allows you to fine tune the sharpness.

[sathy_s]

there is a post on resetera in the DF video thread about how to adjust the sharpness settings you can set it to what value you wish.

This does indeed work, but like you said it's a lot of work. I really don't want to start UUU every time I want to play Wukong, inject the dll, and then enter the command to adjust sharpening.

[Pecata]

Yeah, I hope the devs add it as an option in the menus. It does look horrible, especially in chapter two

I know EXACTLY what you’re talking about with RDR2 and I also know how to fix it to make the game look perfect. The version of DLSS RDR2 still uses is super old, you need a special program that swaps the old DLSS file to the latest version. Most games you can do this manually but the Rockstar launcher will override any files you place in the folder hense why you need a special tool. Google rdr2 DLSS swapper tool
