CONFIG.INI Settings

[WBacon]

For those who wish to manually tweak game settings, the config.ini can be found in the following location. (example below is for Windows 8.1 and Windows 7)

%LocalAppData%\capcom\DEVILMAYCRY4SPECIALEDITION

Note, however, that manually modifying files is not officially supported by Capcom so the usual disclaimer of "Play at your own risk." applies here.

If you have trouble booting up the game after the tweak, simply delete the config.ini file. The game will reset and recreate the file with default settings.

Note: for those wondering, DMC4SE runs on an updated engine with better shadows and enhanced lighting compared to the original DMC4.

You might be able to help me, for while I can get in game easily, trying to reach any sort of 'in engine' gameplay (such as performance test and actual gameplay) is met with nothing more than a second of loading and an eternity of black screen.
I have no clue what the problem is, but it needs to be fixed.

Can motion blur not be disabled? It looks really ugly and I feel like it's having a performance impact.

Very cool, now which one of these is used for anti-stropic filtering

I have the same problem, I can't play game more than 10 min

Could you guys Please consider Adding Surround resolutions support like how Original DMC4 did? Also SLI not working on 970 x 2.

Thanks

A performance patch is needed. With the vanilla game i usually get 1366x768 60fps and max settings, now with this version of the game i get 1280x720 max 48 fps and low settings.
Is this serious?
And the motion blur is killing the experience as well.

Thanks a lot. That help fix my controller problems so that I don't have to run Logitech profiler.

For anyone who's right analog stick is messed up change:
RSTICK_VERT=Z
RSTICK_HORZ=RZ

to:
RSTICK_VERT=RZ
RSTICK_HORZ=Z

It's a new engine, with slightly upgraded stuff, like the above dev noted, it has upgraded shadows, and shadows can be taxing.

How about you give us the good ol dx9 version of MT?

How about you give them the money to make one.

If you have multiple drives try moving it to your C:\ drive. I did this and disabled Steam overlay and one of the two dixed the issue for me. To move the game I cut and pasted it to the other drive "deleted it" from Steam and then "installed it" in the proper folder. Main problem with this is it required double the space because it won't even look for pre-existing files without having room to download the entire game.

Turning them off gives a significant boost, but it's still nowhere near the performance of the original game. And the motion blur filter is hideous and probably hurts the performance as well.

OP, please post some config examples so we know what setting names to use.

Trying ones from other MT Framework titles such as DMC4 Vanilla and Resident Evil: Revelations has yielded no results. Specifically, MotionBlur=OFF and AspectRatio=16:10.

Additionally, I hope that this isn't an indication that Capcom is taking a hands-off approach to post-launch support. As we saw with RE5 Gold, delivering a non-functional band-aid fix for the consumer base's issues is not an acceptable solution.

You can turn off blur in the ini settings, and be sure to use the find option in notepad or whatever, as they can have multiple entries of it.
