Lower Render Resolution

This plugin aims to make the game render the world in a lower resolution. The render resolution is different from the in-game display resolution settings, so you can see text while rendering the world uglier, making the game more playable for other potato pc gamers.

How to install

• []Open the zip folder and copy the file with the desired target resolution.

  []Go to your MHW installation folder.

  []Paste the dll file inside the nativePC/plugins folder.

• []Requires Stracker's Loader

  []Make sure that "FidelityFX CAS + Upscaling" option is turned off.

  []It's recommended to set the Image Quality settings to "Low" (from the Advanced Graphics Settings).

  []Some UI's may still be laggy when you switch to a higher display resolution. In that case, try to lower it until it's manageable. (I have it on 1366x768)

  []Please make sure you choose a target height smaller than the resolution height chosen inside the game.

  []Only tested with the Iceborne DLC.

  []Will not work on installations with modified game exe file.

  Do I need this plugin?

  I made this mod because my device can't run the game in 30fps in 1280x720 resolution (running on 3rd gen Intel i3 without dedicated GPU), so I had to run it in lower res (640x480), but it results to very unreadable text in the game. You might benefit with this mod if:

  • []Running at the Lowest graphics settings possible still doesn't let you run at 30fps.

    []You've been playing the game at very low resolution but want to be able to see the text better.

    []Weapon attacks seems to be sluggish because the game can't run at 30fps

    Choosing a Resolution

    The "_###p" at the end of the filename defines what target height the plugin will aim for. Here are some sample cases:

    LowerRenderResolution_144p.dll

    • []renders 256x144 for 16:9 monitors

      []192x144 for 4:3 monitors

      []336x144 for 21:9 monitors

      LowerRenderResolution_360p.dll

      • []renders 640x360 for 16:9

        []480x360 for 4:3

        []840x360 for 21:9

        LowerRenderResolution_720p.dll

        []1280x720 for 16:9

        [*]960x720 for 4:3
