Differnces between Low and Epic graphics setting?

[Khrainos🧿]

Because of this games lack of options for graphics, what are the actually differnces between the graphical options.

I genuinely do no spot any other than gaining lots of fps on Low settings

[catch22atplay]

Just making some assumptions because it's UE5. For Epic it sets everything to 3 which is typically Ultra. Can see this in C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Moria\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini file.

sg.ViewDistanceQuality=3 0=near, 1=med, 2=far, 3=ultra
sg.AntiAliasingQuality=3 see below
sg.ShadowQuality=3 0=off, 1=med, 2=high, 3=ultra
sg.PostProcessQuality=3 0=low, 1=med, 2=high, 3=ultra
sg.TextureQuality=3 0=low, 1=med, 2=high, 3=ultra
sg.EffectsQuality=3 0=low, 1=med, 2=high, 3=ultra
sg.FoliageQuality=3 0=low, 1=med, 2=high, 3=ultra
sg.ShadingQuality=3 0=low, 1=med, 2=high, 3=ultra

UE3 i believe AA 3 setting is TSR Ultra not sure though. Lower setting no idea really.

I noticed there's no settings as such;

sg.GlobalIlluminationQuality=3
sg.ReflectionQuality=3

So it's not adjustable i guess. I'd assume it's using GI and reflections as it's UE5. At least i'd hope so. If dev console works i guess i could see if it's on.

Just note that i'm just trying to make a comparison based on the engine. I don't know exactly how each quality setting is. I just grabbed another game's setting that uses the same engine and looked at that one.

use read only that's if the game even shipped with cinematic scalability i never checked. You can get a 50% increase in fps in your base while maintaining ultra fidelity if you set it up right.

I just run cinematic tone mapping, shadows, max draw distances and LODS in the engine.ini. Which are setting parameters when i checked in the console.

Read only check. My engine.ini only has paths. None of your previously mentioned settings show up in engine or gameusersettings.

[wikkid_witch]

Thanks for the help btw. sorry you're leading the blind here, ha.

[Kozary]

this is the fps tweak for weaker systems and anyone that wants to pull some draw distance/lod tweaks that make marginal difference.

This takes the default epic settings i dumped straight from the games active convars for the most part so if you want to run your game on low with the engine.ini set to ultra you can gain about 50% performance near a hearth potentially because it does not set any of the lighting effects to ultra. Just remember all the lighting some post processing and effects is set to low if you do this while remaining high fidelity elsewhere it is a good compromise for a weaker system.

This turns TAA off so make sure DLSS is enabled. To enable set antialiasing flag to 2

Copy and paste at the bottom of your engine.ini no need to set read only

I keep my game on epic w/ all the extra tweaks because In 4k dlss quality I get something like 60-80fps in heavily built up areas and 80-120 capped exploring with 2080 ti in SLI.

Im on a 4090. Sorry for hijacking. I'm just looking for more optimal settings. It appears that cinematic makes fog look too bright around fires.

[Kozary]

If referring to the engine.ini it lowers vol fog to the lowest

just increasing lod and view distance + remove any potential blur.

edit- optimal would be to download the old version of moria and cvar dump the pre-nerfed lighting around hearths and see if the nerf was hard coded or config only. Bit too nit picky for me lol

[wikkid_witch]

You're the MVP. I would say that is over my head. My game looks better for sure.
LMK if you have any more optimal settings later on any of the ini files. Thank you!

[Kozary]

I know i said i would not be that petty but if you add

r.SkyLightingQuality=0

to the end of your ini it reverts the 1.33 patch lighting and in my opinion it looks sick.

[Orzel Faststar]

Hey guys, I was looking for a way to boost FPS and/or decrease GPU usage and found this topic. Unfortunately after using the parameters below from Kozary, i've found the game to have some weird shading or lighting issue near the edges of character and also structures i suppose. It looks like the shadow would be separated from body. I want to return to default settings for Low graphics but removing the engine.ini doesn't help. . Can you guys help?

you should remove the ini while the game is not running. also steam might be pulling it from the cloud

I have done this while the game was not running, also its not pulling the file from cloud as it remains unchanged after game created it again.

have you used the ingame options to (re)set the graphics? if not, do it. the ini should not have the stuff you have added to it
