Performance and [ScalabilityGroups] – Add custom video settings PLZ!
Dear DCL devs,

Within your 3 video quality presets;

(1)Low
[ScalabilityGroups]
sg.ViewDistanceQuality=0
sg.AntiAliasingQuality=0
sg.ShadowQuality=0
sg.PostProcessQuality=0
sg.TextureQuality=0
sg.EffectsQuality=0
sg.FoliageQuality=0
sg.ResolutionQuality=55.000000

(2)Medium
[ScalabilityGroups]
sg.ViewDistanceQuality=1
sg.AntiAliasingQuality=1
sg.ShadowQuality=1
sg.PostProcessQuality=1
sg.TextureQuality=1
sg.EffectsQuality=1
sg.FoliageQuality=1
sg.ResolutionQuality=85.000000

(3)High
[ScalabilityGroups]
sg.ViewDistanceQuality=4
sg.AntiAliasingQuality=4
sg.ShadowQuality=4
sg.PostProcessQuality=4
sg.TextureQuality=4
sg.EffectsQuality=4
sg.FoliageQuality=4

I can identify 8 variable graphical settings.

My question: Will you eventually give gamers the opportunity to create their own custom graphical preset with these given variables?
Because the 3 presets that are in place now are pretty wonky.

For example, in preset 2; downscaling resolution but also enabling antialiasing is pretty contra productive : )

If there is no chance of ever seeing the ability of customizing the graphical settings, than just please disable the resolution downscaling in low en med presets. Downscaling to 85% is already so ugly and really doesn’t help performance.

I already manipulate the medium setting in my
GameUserSettings.ini
Which is located in
AppData\Local\DCGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

I went from;
(2)Medium VANILLA
[ScalabilityGroups]
sg.ViewDistanceQuality=1
sg.AntiAliasingQuality=1
sg.ShadowQuality=1
sg.PostProcessQuality=1
sg.TextureQuality=1
sg.EffectsQuality=1
sg.FoliageQuality=1
sg.ResolutionQuality=85.000000

To;
(2)Medium MODIFIED
[ScalabilityGroups]
sg.ViewDistanceQuality=0
sg.AntiAliasingQuality=0
sg.ShadowQuality=1
sg.PostProcessQuality=0
sg.TextureQuality=1
sg.EffectsQuality=0
sg.FoliageQuality=1
sg.ResolutionQuality=100.000000

It works, but if I change anything in the game-menu, restart or load a fresh map everything gets reset to high.
And setting "GameUserSettings.ini" to “read only” only helps it by not getting overridden,
but I still have to restart the game for my modified settings to be applied.

Any way to make my modified settings stick?
Maybe by modifying the actual game-files?
Command-lines?

Or is the upcoming patch delivering us the ability to customize graphical settings?

A legit method to disable resolution downscaling would already be a big jump forwards.

Lator,
