Why?

Lumen is Unreal Engine's solution for dynamic global illumination. If you do not understand those words please read them as "evil performance killer that makes light dim slowly and shadows noisy". It's ugly as hell and I've been looking everywhere on how to disable it and r/engineini got me some answers so I decided to share my findings with you!

Following this guide will result in:

Removal of noisy shadows
Removal of dynamic lighting fading
FPS increase

This is what we are getting rid of:

What to do?

Go to settings and set the Global Illumination (GI) to lowest.

That's it!

Voila

The game now looks less crap and even runs in 2K on my RTX 2060.

Do me a quick favour

Please rate 5 stars. Not to support my research but to make it more visible to the others with a similar issue.

However, if you wish to support my research, feel free to drop me a reward.

For legacy versions

This section is exclusively for versions prior to Hotfix 0.9.1.11736. If you update your game from time to time, you can probably ignore this but it's here for legacy sake.

Press Windows Key + R and paste this in there and hit enter:

%localappdata%\AbioticFactor\Saved\Config\Windows

That should take you to the folder with all the configuration files.

Open Engine.ini in a text editor of your choice (you may even use notepad).

It should look something like this:

Add the following lines of text to the bottom of the file:

[SystemSettings] r.DynamicGlobalIlluminationMethod=0

The final result should look something like this:

Make sure you save the file. Close it, and start the game, now with 200% more crispy pixels and less pathtracing noise.

Load into a map, open the in-game video settings and tweak Gamma until the game looks good.
