Specs: I'm using a RTX 4070 12GB, i7 8700K, 48GB ram+10GB page file, win10. Get around 75-150 fps (With version 0.21 @1080p epic game settings and TSR AA with DLSS Auto). (Depends on what/where you look at, sky is 150 fps, most of the time it's 85-120fps)(Baseline menu is 240 fps)
Change these if you want performance back, but mind that visually most noticeable, especially Global Illumination, everything Lumen related.

Mention if the dx12 feels worse consistently every time. Will either revert back to dx11 or just make dx12 optional. Can't use any raytracing function anyway at the moment.
For those who use virtual shadows. When virtual shadow maps are not forced on, you can adjust the shadow cascades and distance. Performance somewhat drops with virtual shadows and dx12, but mostly only when using the equipment menu, when your character or pals are in view in the menu, probably something breaks it, haven't found yet a setting that could fix that weird performance drop.

I'd like to ask you another little favor. In this image, you can see dots on the window sills, in fact these dots sparkle, and I'd like to know what setting does this effect. I tested it with my old file, which came from DECENT, and I didn't get this effect. I much prefer your settings, and I'd like to point out that your settings are far superior and well mastered. Thanks for your help
try messing with r.Lumen.Reflections.MaxRoughnessToTrace=0.5r.Lumen.ScreenProbeGather.MaxRoughnessToEvaluateRoughSpecular=1 in 0.1 increments, lowering it, well first you can try 0, to see if it has an effect mind you're messing with reflective surfaces, so go check out those non translucent mirrors too, in terms if you lower the roughness value too much
If you wanna try messing with it realtime, get the dxgi file from here, just that, and put it next to the game exe file https://fearlessrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?t=27405 (ignore the browser warning, it's just a falepositive, most companies try actively to curb stomp cheatengine) When you're doing it through console, use space instead of =
It's just so high and far that there is nothing there to render anymore. Or just an engine limitation. I wonder why it doesn't just show off the skybox or use infinite water. Most devs would just limit our gameplay experience, in terms to hide the ugly parts of the game. https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/ue-4-26-ocean-distance-rendering/475516
Sadly fog doesn't hide too, after testing. If it's in the vanilla, you can just report it and just hope the devs fix it, it's fixable if you have the project files, or something like UE4SS.
Thank you for providing this engine.ini to the Palworld community! I like having some lens flare in games, but are there any tweaks I can make to these parameters to reduce the effect so it doesn't interfere as much when in combat? I would like to avoid having it completely disabled because I find it to be one of the unique aspects of this engine.ini compared to others.
Sadly haven't found any command to reduce the effect, only can adjust with lensflare quality or bloom quality the crispiness of the lensflare. I would also like it to be less pronounced.
Sadly the game doesn't recognize any of the other commands, and only can adjust if lensflare is on or off, and what resolution it's at. https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.3/en-US/post-process-effects-in-unreal-engine/
There are two ways to change it. Either getting the unreal engine project manager or whatever it is that let's you change the project settings. Or get Unreal Engine Unlocker (for UE5), and then you can make custom lensflare settings, those will work only while that app is running with the game. They cooked the project settings into the game, or project setting means by default it is cooked. That reminds me to recheck the project setting files, to see if I can even alter them in the game, in Lords of the Fallen, devs put Lumen into project settings, so you can't even change to screenspace with DGIM or RM, but only disable lumen with other settings, albeit wouldn't want that, but rather annoying when devs lock certain settings, and you have to use some third party apps to do extra customization, but you can't save that customization without those apps.
Disable DLSS, enable TSR, then enable DLSS again (auto best). That's how you can add it from the game, DLSS does not actually disable AA in this game, and in most other games, some though force some AA when enabling dlss. If that doesn't work ya, tell me.
I had it forced on before, but some peep complained that it's stupid to enable it. I call it a personal preference, but just deleted that part that was useful for me, I can have it enabled regardless anyway. Imo if anybody uses DLSS, TSR is the best AA option to be used, anything else is worse. If they don't use DLSS, then yeah TSR is too demanding.
Can you post a pic of what you mean? Then I can compare it with what I have and see if I can adjust it, reflections should be pretty much maxed out, the only things I can't get anymore is object view distance, the unreal engine 5.0.1.1 (or whatever version palworld is using) is so severely limited in everything.
Could you please elaborate, water reflections? normal surface reflections? transparent surface reflections? And what stuff being reflected? Because you can't reflect dynamic objects that aren't rendered on the screen, thus you can only see your own character reflection and etc. similar stuff in side reflections, because it's already being rendered, so it's just duplicates that, need raytracing to get info about what isn't being rendered.
If you want dynamic model reflections, then nope, until the devs add the missing shader, can't enable raytracing. At the moment we only get either no reflections, screen space reflections or lumen reflections, all of it works with dx11 the same way as in dx12. So we can get reflections of stuff that is at an angle, but not straight in front, reflections at least understand not to reflect, unlike Divison 2, where it reflects both your character's back and front and is just a blurry mush.
Forgive me for asking, but I have a similar question. What is the Decent Plus INI using to render its reflections? The modder enabled a bunch of RT settings, but as you said, those don't have any effect right now. That said, the reflections on both solid surfaces and water are gorgeous, and if I could couple the settings it uses with your INI, I think I'd have a perfect config.
I made 3 posts there, you can check 'em. https://www.nexusmods.com/palworld/mods/242?tab=posts I dismantled everything regarding the engine.ini. https://youtube.com/live/yWtZ3f1jeus He is using somewhat lower values for some stuff or just basic vanilla settings. Think the only thing he mostly does to get those screenshots is just reshade.
So you could just try using my engine.ini mod, maybe add stuff that he uses and that I don't use, and then add on top of it the reshade.
Here is is a list of everything that actually do anything differently, but only with epic settings (maybe some do on lower settings). (Valid command and that are different from default values)

Thanks for this! It's definitely not coming from Reshade, though. Some of the the lighting is. I've checked out the profile, and it's just ambient lighting and bloom. The reflections are done entirely in engine, and your own INI pretty much achieves the exact same lighting effects, if not better. I also play on Linux, and while it is possible to use Reshade shaders with vkBasalt, it's a very tedious set up that I don't really want to bother with if it just gives me a negligible effect on lighting. You can't use things like HDR shaders, either. That's why I'd like to incorporate their reflections into your INI, because yours adds a sense of realism to everything. Everything just pops, except for reflective surfaces. They look out of place, and detract from how beautiful everything else is. Of course, though, this is just my own taste.
You can also disable kinda selectively the reflections, you can just turn off the water lumen reflections and it will use screenspace instead, or even turn that off for fully transparent water, looks pretty good when looking from above down beach side water, where you can see the ground below water. You can also turn off the translucent reflections separately, and also turning off just lumen reflections will turn them off everywhere.
After removing the lens flare, this is hands down the best graphics fixer I've found. I think I tried like three others first and each had some issue or only part of what I wanted and I'm so bad at customizing beyond one or two lines. This one works great and doesn't even make me lag. It's nice.
In what regard? The mod forces overrides on the AA settings like AntiAliasingMethod=4 which is stupid since it's all preference based. It's a good mod but it does a lot of stuff not graphics related or things like that which aren't positive
Well, everything here is preference based. I have better image quality by using AAM_TSR (which is 4), and works really well with DLSS auto, without dlss the game is pretty demanding, and without AA it looks super jaggy, especially with dlss only. You can just delete the antialiaisingmethod, if you don't like it. I'll just make an optional one that doesn't force AA, seems you don't use DLSS. When I get some new visual feature working, aka when I make a new version, I'll make the no aa as the main thing, I can have tsr enabled in gameusersettings anyway separately.
Also, everything here is graphics related. Most just don't change anything performance wise, plus I listed what are the most performance demanding settings. I prolly could curb some out if you know what it does in the game and that if I agree with that, after testing it out myself. Like some async stuff and pool stuff I don't really care about, I just took them from unreal engine 5.3 homepage showing scalability settings and what the epic quality settings used (well those you can see in the description and where I listed low to cinametic values), and checked somewhere else what cinematic quality was for it, sometimes found few things that had conflicting values or some values changed its range lower or higher. Some settings, even if they are at default value (being identical to constructor value), I kept just in case someone wants to mess with 'em.
Can you post a pic of the difference or just what you mean? I'm trying really hard to see a difference on night and day? Or, can anyone post a pic of what he means. I didn't see any difference in it being enabled or not for shadows on water.
Also, the only thing we're enabling here is Lumen without raytracing. If it was raytraced then reflections would work, not only from the side angle, where it reflects what you see on the screen, raytracing allows us to see what isn't being rendered on the screen. Also, to enable lumen, you only need dx11. To enable any raytracing feature, you first need to enable dx12 and then r.RayTracing, the latter at the moment, only results in a crash because devs didn't add a shader into the build. So we just get diffuseindirect from lumen, the moment you disable diffuse it's the same as disabling lumen dynamic global illumination method. At the moment, lumen reflections work exactly the same way as Screenspace reflections, but worse, albeit we can use translucent reflections too, which is better than screenspace.
By deleting any value you will be using the default value. No clue what they are. Also, the default settings change depending on your scalability settings in gameusersettings. On that department, I can say all values are 3 there, but every one of them changes multiple other default r. values.
Would need to do double testing basically, I only tested 1 by one while everything was in use. Would need to test while nothing is modified and change something 1 by 1.
If you want more performance, increase mipmap value. I already increased it by 2, from what I had before, it was -1 before. You can also delete everything related to shadows and/or lumen alongside with reflections.
You can delete or lower grass.densityScale r.ShadowQuality r.ViewDistanceScale r.Shadow.DistanceScale
Weird at first I noticed that the dxgi console menu showed a previous value, but for some reason now it only shows the new value as the value you changed it to, basically showing me the same thing 2x, when changing a setting. Sad, thought maybe I could just check all of 'em one by one with the epic settings.
Ah okay now I understood, lel finally, how to see default settings properly.
Just enter the command without a value. Sometimes can't see the text, so need to enter the comman 2x. r.RayTracing shows me r.RayTracing = "0" LastSetBy: Constructor
So guess at some point in time will add that info into the description.

Found another vanilla bug. Volumetric clouds start to exist visually after coming out of a dungeon. Was like wtf where did these come from, I was always used to seeing cloud shadows on the ground, but never saw the moving clouds. I'll check if I see some setting that I can toggle this setting and maybe enable it without having to go to the dungeon.

Change these if you want performance back, but mind that visually most noticeable, especially Global Illumination, everything Lumen related.

Mention if the dx12 feels worse consistently every time. Will either revert back to dx11 or just make dx12 optional. Can't use any raytracing function anyway at the moment.
For those who use virtual shadows. When virtual shadow maps are not forced on, you can adjust the shadow cascades and distance. Performance somewhat drops with virtual shadows and dx12, but mostly only when using the equipment menu, when your character or pals are in view in the menu, probably something breaks it, haven't found yet a setting that could fix that weird performance drop.

I have an annoying light effect, can you tell me what settings to deactivate to remove this effect? Please
https://ibb.co/LnH4sm3
r.DefaultFeature.LensFlare=0
Change the value if you use the main version or the virtual shadows version. Or download the version without fog and lensflare.Your settings are really great compared to others of the same kind, thank you for your work.
I'd like to ask you another little favor. In this image, you can see dots on the window sills, in fact these dots sparkle, and I'd like to know what setting does this effect. I tested it with my old file, which came from DECENT, and I didn't get this effect.I much prefer your settings, and I'd like to point out that your settings are far superior and well mastered.
Thanks for your help

in 0.1 increments, lowering it, well first you can try 0, to see if it has an effectmind you're messing with reflective surfaces, so go check out those non translucent mirrors too, in terms if you lower the roughness value too much
If you wanna try messing with it realtime, get the dxgi file from here, just that, and put it next to the game exe file

Sadly fog doesn't hide too, after testing.
If it's in the vanilla, you can just report it and just hope the devs fix it, it's fixable if you have the project files, or something like UE4SS.
Sadly the game doesn't recognize any of the other commands, and only can adjust if lensflare is on or off, and what resolution it's at.
https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.3/en-US/post-process-effects-in-unreal-engine/
That reminds me to recheck the project setting files, to see if I can even alter them in the game, in Lords of the Fallen, devs put Lumen into project settings, so you can't even change to screenspace with DGIM or RM, but only disable lumen with other settings, albeit wouldn't want that, but rather annoying when devs lock certain settings, and you have to use some third party apps to do extra customization, but you can't save that customization without those apps.
If that doesn't work ya, tell me.
I had it forced on before, but some peep complained that it's stupid to enable it. I call it a personal preference, but just deleted that part that was useful for me, I can have it enabled regardless anyway. Imo if anybody uses DLSS, TSR is the best AA option to be used, anything else is worse. If they don't use DLSS, then yeah TSR is too demanding.
Could you please elaborate, water reflections? normal surface reflections? transparent surface reflections?
And what stuff being reflected? Because you can't reflect dynamic objects that aren't rendered on the screen, thus you can only see your own character reflection and etc. similar stuff in side reflections, because it's already being rendered, so it's just duplicates that, need raytracing to get info about what isn't being rendered.
At the moment we only get either no reflections, screen space reflections or lumen reflections, all of it works with dx11 the same way as in dx12.
So we can get reflections of stuff that is at an angle, but not straight in front, reflections at least understand not to reflect, unlike Divison 2, where it reflects both your character's back and front and is just a blurry mush.

I dismantled everything regarding the engine.ini.
https://youtube.com/live/yWtZ3f1jeus
He is using somewhat lower values for some stuff or just basic vanilla settings.
Think the only thing he mostly does to get those screenshots is just reshade.
So you could just try using my engine.ini mod, maybe add stuff that he uses and that I don't use, and then add on top of it the reshade.
Here is is a list of everything that actually do anything differently, but only with epic settings (maybe some do on lower settings).

You can also turn off the translucent reflections separately, and also turning off just lumen reflections will turn them off everywhere.
I'm assuming you're on nvidia and use dlss.
Wonder though how amd users fare with this.
Thanks again for the mod :)
You can just delete the antialiaisingmethod, if you don't like it.
I'll just make an optional one that doesn't force AA, seems you don't use DLSS.
When I get some new visual feature working, aka when I make a new version, I'll make the no aa as the main thing, I can have tsr enabled in gameusersettings anyway separately.
Also, everything here is graphics related. Most just don't change anything performance wise, plus I listed what are the most performance demanding settings.
I prolly could curb some out if you know what it does in the game and that if I agree with that, after testing it out myself. Like some async stuff and pool stuff I don't really care about, I just took them from unreal engine 5.3 homepage showing scalability settings and what the epic quality settings used (well those you can see in the description and where I listed low to cinametic values), and checked somewhere else what cinematic quality was for it, sometimes found few things that had conflicting values or some values changed its range lower or higher.
Some settings, even if they are at default value (being identical to constructor value), I kept just in case someone wants to mess with 'em.
Add this to the ini and it should solve it:
r.Water.SingleLayer.DepthPrepass=1
Or, can anyone post a pic of what he means. I didn't see any difference in it being enabled or not for shadows on water.
Also, the only thing we're enabling here is Lumen without raytracing. If it was raytraced then reflections would work, not only from the side angle, where it reflects what you see on the screen, raytracing allows us to see what isn't being rendered on the screen. Also, to enable lumen, you only need dx11. To enable any raytracing feature, you first need to enable dx12 and then r.RayTracing, the latter at the moment, only results in a crash because devs didn't add a shader into the build. So we just get diffuseindirect from lumen, the moment you disable diffuse it's the same as disabling lumen dynamic global illumination method.
At the moment, lumen reflections work exactly the same way as Screenspace reflections, but worse, albeit we can use translucent reflections too, which is better than screenspace.
Also, the default settings change depending on your scalability settings in gameusersettings. On that department, I can say all values are 3 there, but every one of them changes multiple other default r. values.
Would need to do double testing basically, I only tested 1 by one while everything was in use.
Would need to test while nothing is modified and change something 1 by 1.
If you want more performance, increase mipmap value. I already increased it by 2, from what I had before, it was -1 before.
You can also delete everything related to shadows and/or lumen alongside with reflections.
You can delete or lower
grass.densityScale
r.ShadowQuality
r.ViewDistanceScale
r.Shadow.DistanceScale
Delete or increase
r.MipMapLODBias
Sad, thought maybe I could just check all of 'em one by one with the epic settings.
Just enter the command without a value. Sometimes can't see the text, so need to enter the comman 2x.
r.RayTracing shows me r.RayTracing = "0" LastSetBy: Constructor
So guess at some point in time will add that info into the description.
