📋 About This Mod

MHWilds Graphics Enhancement

Monster Hunter Wilds graphics mod that unlocks RTGI, RTAO, and advanced graphics settings beyond what the base game offers. Everything is controlled from a clean in-game menu under the REFramework Script UI.


Important Note

To use High or Highest texture quality without editing config.ini, you can now use the built-in StreamingResidentTextureTargetSize setting in the Texture Streaming section of the mod.

Simply toggle it on and set the value to match your GPU's VRAM in GB. For example, a 16 GB GPU → set to 16, a 24 GB GPU → set to 24.

This is the recommended method going forward. The old config.ini method (StreamingVRAMSizeHigh / StreamingVRAMSizeHighest) still works if you prefer it.

Edit config.ini located in the MonsterHunterWilds main folder and adjust StreamingVRAMSizeHigh and StreamingVRAMSizeHighest to match your available VRAM and then save. Formula: GB × 1,073,741,824 = bytes. Example for 16GB: 16 × 1,073,741,824 = 17,179,869,184

Capture & Restore — Some settings include a Capture and Restore button next to the slider. Here is how they work:

  • []Capture — Reads the current live engine value and stores it as a snapshot. This is useful when you want to record what value the engine is naturally using in a specific area or scene. It is recommended to briefly toggle the setting off, then quick travel to another zone or go inside the camp to allow the engine to return to its natural value. Once settled, toggle it back on and press Capture.[/]

    []Restore — Sets the slider back to the last captured snapshot value. This allows you to quickly revert to a previously captured value without having to manually adjust the slider.[/]

    Profile Saving — Settings are saved automatically to MHWilds_Graphics_Enhancement.json. Up to 3 custom profiles can be saved and loaded at any time from within the mod menu, allowing you to quickly switch between different configurations. Profile files are stored in the MHWilds Graphics Enhancement Profile folder inside your reframework\data directory.


    General

    []Texture Quality — Quality preset for texture rendering. Higher values load higher-resolution textures at a higher memory cost.[/]

    []Mesh Quality — Controls geometry complexity and detail level for rendered objects.[/]

    []Secondary Sampler Quality — Quality preset for secondary texture samplers used in rendering passes.[/]

    [*]Disable Lens Distortion — Disables the lens distortion post-processing effect for a cleaner, undistorted image. Included because switching RT quality in the in-game settings can silently re-enable lens distortion. This keeps i
