📋 About This Mod
Disables a lot of useless visuals to gain more performance, mostly reducing gpu consumption. Will help in case of cpu bottleneck as well. Comes with registry edits, Direct X control panel and respective guide.
How to use:
-
[]Open C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Arrowhead\Helldivers2, and drop
user_settings.config from archive in folder, backup original file to copy/check old settings for new config.[/
][]Make config "read only" after tweaking for yourself to prevent config from getting reset on changes in-game or updates.[/]
[](Optional) Follow directions from .txt guide for extra performance gain. Clear cache in %appdata%\Arrowhead\Helldivers2\shader_cache.[/]
[]Launch game.[/]
-
[]async_compute and allow_async_compute
Set to true if turning it on in-game helps YOU in particular gain more fps.[/
][]First 21 lines of config
Check your old config for values.[/]
[]Last 13 lines of config
Check your old config for values.[/]
Still not enough performance?
Try object_lod_quality = -1 but its VERY unstable. Maybe you will enjoy restarting game each time game fails to render anything except cape as a trade for extra couple fps when it actually works.
If you have issues with config or must use DIRECTX 12 download 1. 0 version.
