Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

How would i go about making r.BloomQuality=5 stick in the game, regardless of setting? Seems to ignore it.

 

What's most likely to happen is some shaders not compiling as the change in dependencies might trigger some conflicts, but if they're sticking to the unreal engine material editor without custom HLSL code (heart of the issue i would assume) it should compile just fine most of the time.

First guess would be some post process not compiling because of conflicting custom code.

There's a couple way to edit those settings, you can try creating a scalability.ini file alongside the gameusersettings.ini file with:

Code:

[PostProcessQuality@3]
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
[...]

given your postprocess setting (sg.PostProcessQuality=3) is on Epic/3

 

I can deffo tell that the bloom aint working, unless i set the post processing to high / epic... :/

 

Aye, some kind of creepy demon. With maybe even wings.

 

Exactly - i've been doing several screenshot comparisons, and aside of the blurriness from epic in certain situations (which i don't want), the only difference is bloom... and a massive performance hit.

Medium post processing



Epic post processing

 

So if i wanted to use medium postprocessing, i would set it to :

[PostProcessQuality@1]
r.BloomQuality=5

?

 

I guess they're just not using the Epic Games Fringe but implemented their own chromatic aberration and the traditionnal command setting has therefore no effect at all.
They clearly have enough in-house talent to do this.

 

They better include a separate toggle for bloom then...

 

I don't know how they made their lightsaber, but without bloom those stuff can end up being ugly polygon shaped, same with blaster blot and any bolt actually.


edit: oh well, tried a couple things, couldn't change any advanced settings.

 

Actually it's not that bad, but it does look a little less POW without bloom :

I'm not editing the game configuration files myself, so this is just from curiosity, but which one of the files are you guys tinkering with?

%LOCALAPPDATA%\SwGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Respawn\JediFallenOrder\GameUserSettings.sav

 

%LOCALAPPDATA%\SwGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini

At least you can still play with the setthings available in the file, like resolutionscaling %. But if you ever change setting back in game it'll be overwritten.

 

Looks like a Xenomorph to me

 

A squishy easteregg xenomorph yehh'

 

So I haven't bought this game yet but I might consider it at some point. But I do have questions. If possible avoid spoilers from the game itself. The main questions are at the bottom.

From what I've read, this game is actually Star Wars 'canon'. Or rather, it's DISNEY canon... I should say. So it's in the same veins as the campaign from Battlefront II is. It happens 5 years after Revenge of the Sith. Ok fine. So, my "problem" (or rather I should say my 'concern') is the Imperial Inquisitor villain. In terms of lore, the Sith 'methodology' or "code" that was used to operate during that time period was the Rule of Two, which by the way itself being canon of course (mentioning this because some people actually wonder if that ever was even a thing, as surprising as it sounds). A Master, and an Apprentice, no more, no less. As we all know, during that time period Palpatine was the Master (well, Sidious) and Vader the Apprentice (very briefly) and then Lord. The Inquisitor, from what I've read a bit of, is of course a 'Force Sensitive' girl, who now pretty much happens to be a Sith... or at least, trained to use her Force powers and fight like a Sith using a lightsaber as well. My assumption is that she must have been "found" by Vader, and probably trained by him as well; most likely with the permission of his Master, Sidious (well, not 'most likely', more like absolutely with his permission). The obvious thought that comes to mind is that as powerful and thorough Vader as was during the Jedi Purge, he couldn't be everywhere at the same time. So of course, the Empire's various forces were also sent almost everywhere and they too did the dirty work to find and eliminate the Jedi (Vader killed many by himself, but of course not all of them). So here comes this Inquisitor who must have been trained for and ordered to find remaining Jedi and kill them.

So... with all this said, this is just my assumption. All I would like to know is not exactly if any of this is actually in the game (even just bits of this). What I would like to know is if Fallen Order's story actually makes any sense at all in terms of lore coming from what we know of from the movies (outside of the expanded universe, too). Essentially, is the Inquisitor herself 'explained' per se? Her own story? Who trained her, who found her? Etc. I just don't want this story to be something like "Here is this new Sith girl, and nope... no one knows where she came from and who trained her but this is new canon so deal with it now; have a good day.". The reason why I am asking this is because I would actually buy this game only if the story is good, since I don't really care all that much about the gameplay since I know very well what type of gameplay it offers just from the video previews I've seen. I know what I'd be going into in terms of gameplay, but not story; and that's the part that I am afraid of. Because the last time I gave a chance to Disney's Star Wars "canon" was for Battlefront 2's story and it was about as bad as that other episode that I won't pronounce the title of here. I just don't want to experience something like that again (like Battlefront 2's campaign, I mean).
