About Scarlet Nexus Graphic Quality Tuning

[浅蘇芳]

Does anyone have any suggestions for the Scarlet Nexus UE4 settings?

I have added the settings below,
then change graphical settings to High/Medium/Medium.
it seems better than before.

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\ScarletNexus\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Engine.ini

[SystemSettings]
r.SceneColorFringe.Max=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
r.SSR.Quality=0
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=1

And others suggestions below:

Could you tell me how to set the resolution to 4k and fullscreen? For some reason i cannot set my game to anything except 1080, 900, and 720p.

If you are on a 1080p monitor and want to do 4k you need to set the resolution in game to 1080p and in the config file Engine.ini add this command line:

[SystemSettings]
r.ScreenPercentage=200

Thanks for this, plugging it in directly.

may I know what's your PC spec and how these settings affect performance?

I'm using a GTX 1070, I can play at a locked 2k 60fps with those settings plus Reshade just fine with some room to spare

you sir are a genius.
The game looks way better now

Im on a 4K TV, any idea why it only lets me choose those 3 resolutions?

Thanks for this. Default settings do ghost indeed.

Change to borderless.
