Graphics Editor - Performance boost - Disable Post processing effects

Easy to use tool to generate mod files to customize several Graphical options like TAA, Fog, Shadows, Post Processing Effects, SSGI, etc.

Details for every setting at the bottom of the description.

Usage

• []Download the program.

  []Put it wherever you want, preferably in a folder.

  []Choose whatever you want to disable by checking its checkbox. You can use the sliders after checking their checkbox.

  []Press the Generate mod button. A .pak file named zCustomGraphics_P.pak will be generated where the program's .exe is.

  []Put zCustomGraphics_P.pak in Remnant2\Content\Paks\~mods. If there's no ~mods folder in there, you need to create it.

  []You need Allow Asset Mods to use mods with Remnant 2.

  Notes

  I'd appreciate it if you don't upload mods generated by the tool. I've made the tool to make life easier for end users, not for modders to get easy downloads. If you want to share your configuration you can do so by sharing a screenshot or something of your settings in the tool.

  Details for every setting at the bottom of the description.

  All of the sliders default to the game's default low value.

  The sliders will return to their original value when disabled.

  Streaming Pool Size is a placeholder for now. The game changes it dynamically. Use Custom Streaming Pool Size to set it to whatever value you want.

  Values for Skeletal Mesh Lod Bias are lower for higher and higher for lower (so 0 is best quality, 2 is potato).

  Settings for performance gains

  Disabling everything will obviously give you the best performance.

  Disabling anything related to shadows is big performance gains as well as SSGI. Virtual shadow maps are really expensive if you use shadow quality higher than low. You can mix and match all these to find a balance between performance and quality. E.g. Set Shadow CSM Max Cascades to 0, disable contact shadows, disable SSGI and Virtual shadows maps to keep some shadows enabled but boost performance.

  Setting Streaming boost to 0 gave me 4-5 fps but textures become potato. You can try setting Max Anisotropy to 0 instead which doesn't affect their quality that much. As far as I can tell this game's textures are extremely high res.

  You can set View distance scale to 0. 4 and Skeletal Mesh lod bias to 1. Didn't notice that much difference in quality.

  Disabling Anti Aliasing will boost performance but you'll notice a lot of visual noise that TAA is hiding/blending. Setting sharpening to 0 will help.

  Disabling Nanite helped on my system without making that much of a difference on visuals (1060 3gb and ryzen 3600). There's a chance that Nanite is hardware dependent. I can consistently get +4 and even more fps with disabled Nanite on my system but @Chronus and @Willito report better performance with enabled Nanite.

  Graphics

  1. Disable Anti Aliasing:

     - Anti-Aliasing (AA) is a technique used to smooth out jagged edges in graphics to make them look less pixelated.

  - When "Disable Anti Aliasing" is checked (set to "on"), the AA effect is turned off, which might result in sharper edges but could lead to more visible jaggies.

  2. Disable TAA Upsampling:

     - TAA (Temporal Anti-Aliasing) Upsampling is a technique that improves the quality of anti-aliasing by considering data from previous frames.

  - When "Disable TAA Upsampling" is checked (set to "on"), the TAA Upsampling effect is turned off, which might result in a lower quality but potentially higher performance.

  3. Disable Depth of Field:

     - Depth of Field (DOF) is a graphical effect that blurs objects that are out of focus, simulating the way cameras work.

  - When "Disable Depth of Field" is checked (set to "on"), the DOF effect is turned off, which can result in a sharper image but with less visual depth.

  4. Disable Lens Flare:

     - Lens Flare is an effect that simulates the scattering of light within a camera lens, often resulting in
