Settings for configuration files

Most of these changes are not properly validated (benchmark or comparison of screenshots).

Locate the Star Wars Outlaws documents folder (typically C:\Users\*YourUserName*\Documents\My Games\Outlaws).

If there is no such folder, you may never have started the game or found the correct folder location.

In this folder, open the file "graphic settings.cfg" with a text editor. I made the following changes:

sharpen2 = 1.00000000

should maximize ingame-sharpener, not 100% tested. The default was "0.69999999"

["streamer allocated budget"] = 512

perhaps something like the specified RAM/VRAM size for game world streaming caching, default is "64"

[«terrain occlusion2»] = true

experimental, default false

[«terrain vertex normals»] = true

experimental, default "false"

vrs = 2

must be "Variable Rate Shading", "0", perhaps disables it, "2" installs VRS Tier Level 2? not yet reviewed. Variable Rate Shading typically gives you more performance with a slight loss of image quality.

Another, perhaps useful tweet I made in the file "state.cfg":

mipBias = -1.00000000

must change the boat towards a higher quality image (higher quality textures and details in the distance), but less performance. The default was -0.60000002.

tripleBuffer = false

Triple buffers typically use a bit of VRAM and can prevent frame drops if classic vsync is used. If you use Freesync / GSync, triple buffer is not needed, there vsync works differently.

You should protect the edited files from being written to avoid possibly changing the edited values back to their default values. Note that game changes to Video and Graphics are not permanently saved if the file is write-protected. Fix possible problems after editing files - delete the edited file, it will be automatically generated the next time you start the game with the default values.
