High on Life

If like me you hate Chromatic Aberration (yes, this game has a bunch of them) I solved it adding the command:

[SystemSettings]
r.SceneColorFringe.Max=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0

in Engine.ini located in \AppData\Local\Oregon\Saved\Config\WinGDK. I hope this helps you.

 

Try:

Code:

[SystemSettings]
r.MotionBlur.Max=0
r.MotionBlurQuality=0
r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=0
r.SceneColorFringe.Max=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0

[/script/engine.renderersettings]
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=3

 

Game with this level of humour are so rare, damn!
A NPC tried to sell me alien cum, wtf ?!

My personnal recommendation, again to add at bottom of User/AppData/Local/Oregon/Saved/Config/WinGDK/Engine.ini :

Those few lines remove motionblur, vignette, fringe, add screen space global illumination, improve the TAA using an earlier implementation of UE5 TAA (game is running UE4 and use its default TAA), improve anisotropy filtering and add a slight sharpening.

Code:

[/Script/Engine.RendererSettings]
r.SSGI.Enable=True
r.SSGI.HalfRes=1
r.SSGI.Quality=3
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.SceneColorFringe.Max=0
r.MotionBlur.Amount=0
r.MotionBlur.Max=0
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=1.2
r.MaxAnisotropy=16
r.TemporalAA.Algorithm=1
r.Tonemapper.Quality=1

 

Released a patch on Steam that added movement remapping.

 

UWP still no update/s, lol...

 

Haha! I'm not at all shocked that this is a thing!

 

Updates for Gamepass have to go through certification by Miscrosoft.
Unlike Steam were the dev/publisher can push the patch as soon as they want.

 

The game is good, but man the performance is a total disaster.
Currently, on the MS version with one patch.

 

..not really...

 

Serotonin might be able to help with that!

 

Game Pass version is updated now.

 

Was gonna replay the witcher 3 remaster through the christmas holiday, but that game is buggy AF, and probably needs at least half a year more in the owen, if it even ever gets to a proper state...

So i bought this game, and it seems really cool and fun !

Ty @XenthorX for the suggestions - deffo made it look alot better !

 

If you've enough headroom GPU power you can remove the half resolution SSGI line, and if you want high framerate you can remove the SSGI lines all together. I do think SSGI was a welcome addition, the upgraded TAA is also much better.

 

Yeah, it doesn't stutter if you play a bit. Fun game, thanks for the tweaks @XenthorX, IQ is much better.

 

I first played it through Gamepass, and it played fine... but I noticed occasional hitches here and there.

I bought the Steam version, and it plays MUCH better. No stuttering or hitching, FPS are always above 140.
Not sure if it's because the Steam version has the latest patch...

But, it's not the first time I've had a game run better through Steam then through Gamepass.
Metro Exodus did the same thing.

 

Likely precomputed shader cache downloads. Steam can download a precompiled shader cache for the game if it has one that matches your hardware.

 

That's Vulkan only if i remember..The game has some hitches only in the beginning, it gets almost super-smooth as you play..

 

It's not just you. A lot of games run better on Steam than on Xbox PC.
I have Gamepass, so I can try games and there is a lot of "free" stuff.
But I have bought a few games on Steam, despite having them on Gamepass, because it ran significantly worse.

BTW, I really wished this game had an FOV option.
It's very narrow and causes a bit of nausea after a while.

 

Yeah, I tend to use gamepass like a demo service.

If I like the game, I'll buy it on Steam. If not... I'll just uninstall and move on.

 

You can adjust it using any of the typical UE4 engine ways (ini, Universal Unreal Engine 4 Unlocker etc). Personally I used "Flawless Widescreen", as it's a tool I generally use for helping with Ultrawide/Super Ultrawides stuff
