i found a few interesting lines in the willowengine.ini file
bAllowMatureLanguage=FALSE (changed to TRUE)
TerrainMaterialMaxTextureCount=16
TerrainTessellationCheckDistance=4096.0
worth tweaking for quality?
bUseTextureStreaming=True
i recall this from other games, if you set it to false it'll load it all in one hit (making load times longer, but no textures loading in as you go)
bUseBackgroundLevelStreaming=True
as above
MinTextureDensity=0.0
IdealTextureDensity=13.0
MaxTextureDensity=55.0
quality tweaks, again?
bDisablePhysXHardwareSupport=True
pretty clear, that one
PhysXGpuHeapSize=32
PhysXMeshCacheSize=8
performance tweaks for hardware physX
[Engine.ISVHacks]
bInitializeShadersOnDemand=False
DisableATITextureFilterOptimizationChecks=True
UseMinimalNVIDIADriverShaderOptimization=True
PumpWindowMessagesWhenRenderThreadStalled=False
Hellloooo... ATI and Nvidia specific tweaks. interesting how on an ATI card, mines got the ATI tweaks off, and the NV tweaks on...
[Engine.GameEngine]
bSmoothFrameRate=TRUE
MinSmoothedFrameRate=22
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=62
sounds like some kind of FPS smoother, probably lowers details to improve FPS when lagging
[Engine.Client]
MinDesiredFrameRate=35.000000
see above, looks like its customisable (handy for lag haters)
[XAudio2.XAudio2Device]
MaxChannels=32
more channels for people with higher end sound cards, audio quality tweak?
[TextureStreaming]
PoolSize=140
if poolsize = MB of ram used, this may be a good tweak for users with lots of ram
FOVAngle=90.000000
obvious, this one.
I hear settings like 110 works well for widescreen users.
from a google "PC version of CoD4, the FOV is 65. That is based on the 4:3 view though, at 16:9 it widens to just under 81"
so Cod4 has a narrower view than borderlands default...
GodMode=True
odd, this was on by default.
AllowD3D10=False
obvious really. someone needs to do some testing
MaxAnisotropy=16
MaxMultisamples=1
again, clear.
UseVsync=True
MinShadowResolution=1024
MaxShadowResolution=1024
ShadowFadeResolution=128
^ good way to get extra performance, turn those down
ResX=1920
ResY=1080
^ custom resolutions if needed
[FullScreenMovie]
StartupMovies=2K_logo
StartupMovies=Gearbox_logo
StartupMovies=NVidia
StartupMovies=Loading
SkippableMovies=2K_logo
SkippableMovies=Gearbox_logo
SkippableMovies=Attract
SkippableMovies=NVidia
messing with/deleting these will skip the startup movies
[AppCompat]
MeasuredCPUScore=134.237000
CompatLevelComposite=5
CompatLevelCPU=5
CompatLevelGPU=5
hey look, it has a built in benchmark thing!
shamelessly stolen from [H]
To disable mouse smoothing:
----------------------------
Within WillowInput.ini:
Search for "bEnableMouseSmoothing" and you should come across the following line:
bEnableMouseSmoothing=True
Change to FALSE. This tremendously improves the feel of the mouse when looking around in-game and navigating the UI.
To disable/adjust weapon view bob:
----------------------------------
Within WillowGame.ini:
Search for "bWeaponBob" and you should come across the following lines:
bWeaponBob=TRUE
Bob=0.005
They should be pretty self explanatory. I can confirm the Bob numerical adjustment does work.
