  Overview

  Ultra+ for Halo Campaign Evolved prioritizes cleaning up the noisy visuals and providing users with options to customize the game to their liking. It also has some fixes like disabling FG in cutscenes.

  Features

  • []Drastically reduces noise, especially during motion[/]

    []Fixes shadows, reflections, megalights, various broken foliage, missing assets from RT[/]

    []Improves texture quality[/]

    []Allows optimizing for your specific upscaler (DLSS 4. 5 preset M is recommended if you can use it) - set the upscaler setting according to what you are using[/]

    []Full control over post processing[/]

    []Fixes frame generation being enabled in cutscenes[/]

    Game Tips

    • []Set low latency to vendor specific[/]

      []Configure Denoiser and MegaLightsQuality according to your upscaler - either select your upscaler via the upscaler setting or - if DLSS 4. 5 use none_temporalgihigh Denoiser and epic_notemporal MegaLightsQuality[/]

      []To turn Chromatic Aberration off, set ChromaticAberrationIntensity to 0[/]

      []To fix frame generation being on in cutscenes, use DisableCutsceneFG setting[/]

      []Suggest trying 0. 45 reflection roughness with 0. 25 roughness fade length combined with ReflectionHitLighting, HighQualityTracing, no SSR, and Nanite RT fix for optimal performance and visual balance. [/]

      []Always use ultra reflections in game[/]

      []For a performance balance with Hit Lighting try the LumenReflectionCheckerboard addon[/]

      []Use RenoDX for HDR[/]

      Detailed RayTracing with HitLighting

      • [] The vanilla game uses a minimum hardware raytracing configuration that relies entirely on the surface cache. This represents a low quality version of all geometry, is missing many things, and is wrong color. It requires screen space reflections to have a presentable result[/]

        []Ultra+ has backported some fixes from UE 5. 6 and implemented custom nanite modifications to resolve issue with streaming a large amount of detailed nanite geometry. This allows us to disable screen space reflections and use high quality raytraced reflections instead.[/]
