Adjusting the Graphics Quality/Vsync Fix for SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake

For those on PC who are suffering from technical issues or want to change your graphical settings, here is how you fix them:

Graphics Quality Edit

Press Win+R and paste this into the search bar: %LOCALAPPDATA%

Click \Cosmicshake\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

After clicking on "WindowsNoEditor" click the "GameUserSettings" file and from there you can edit the graphical output for your game.


It should look like this for the graphical section:

[ScalabilityGroups]
sg.ResolutionQuality=100.000000
sg.ViewDistanceQuality=3
sg.AntiAliasingQuality=3
sg.ShadowQuality=3
sg.PostProcessQuality=3
sg.TextureQuality=3
sg.EffectsQuality=3
sg.FoliageQuality=3
sg.ShadingQuality=3

Change the "sg.ResolutionQuality" to a lower number if you wish to lower the resolution scale and receive a better framerate and the other settings can be lowered as well if you so wish to do so.

(Ex. sg.ViewDistanceQuality=1
where 1 = low
and 3 = high)

V-Sync Fix

Is your VSync glitching out?

Going through the same file again, scroll down until you see "FrameRateLimit=00.000000".

Change the first "0" to a 6 so it reads "60.000000". This will change the framerate limit to 60 and will give the V-sync an actual number to sync your monitor/game to. If you have a more powerful PC just change the number to a higher one such as "120.000000" or so to match with your monitor (If your monitor can do 120hz, etc.).

After changing what you want in the file, save it and then right click the file and go to "properties". Click "Read-only" and press "apply". You should now be able to start the game with the changes in mind.

If you want to change the settings again, unclick the "read-only" box, press "apply" again and then make your changes. Just don't forget to do the process again once you are done.

Hope this helps!

Thank God.

Today's patch added in advanced graphical options into the game, including Anti aliasing, post processing, Shadow quality, Texture quality and view distance. FPS limit also.

This is great for Steam Deck. Changing a few settings makes the game run at a constant 60fps which is very pleasant for this game. Thank you for the guide.

[ShiftyMarmot]

Pretty disappointing that there's basically no graphics options, BFBB was the exact same..

Thanks for the guide though.

"Read-only" simply restricts any writing to the file. I'm only putting it in there just in case people do not want the information to be altered.

And yeah, I do hope they can add these options in but like you said, pretty doubtful.

[Electric Blood Mage]

Hope they add actual options at some point. (I doubt it)
Also you don't have to do "Read-Only" because I haven't been.
