A quick look at the game configs XML

[harkinsteven]

So, any indication in the files if 21:9 resolutions are supported?

Did Witcher 2? If it did I'd say there's a very high probability that it will.

Witcher 2 did not, although it came out before the increase in popularity of 21:9 we've seen. It did support 21:9 with flawlesswidescreen, although CDPR nerf'd that functionality with future patches.

I'm not a big gamer, so my only other points of reference are Mass Effect and Battlefield 4, both of which work in 21:9 with the appropriate adjustment in FOV.

Hopefully Nvidia does one of those settings guides on release or close. Showing comparisons and all that. Thanks for digging into this stuff guys

Dammit nothing about blood.

Although I guess there wouldn't be an xml setting specifically for blood...hm


sighhhhhh

I am only a console (PS4) player these days. But this thread has been very enlightening and interesting. Thank you all for the information.

Would you expect to see that in the config? I'm used to just seeing a couple of variables for screen width and height, with no indication of what are valid values.
(And if anyone HAS seen relevant values, yes, please post)

<Option id="3" displayName="uber">
<Entry overrideGroup="Foliage" varId="MaxVisibilityDepth" value="24"/>
</Option>

Anyone think this will control the distance at which foliage is visible?

 

[Lieste]

I'd say it looks like the culling depth for alpha-cut foliage layers.

I guess not. :/

Witcher 2 had an awful aspect ratio support. But things are very different now than back then, when CDPR was in the brink of bankruptcy.

 

[sharpappple]

these two might be interesting for some looking to make the game look like the older build. they might not need SweetFX
AllowSharpen=false
TextureMipBias=0

 

[Exentryk]

So, CA is definitely going to get turned off.

Will there be recommended settings for different graphics cards? Like GTX 970 can do these settings while maintaining 60fps, while 980 can do that etc?

 

[cyberpunkforever]

i hope all this options can get accessed by settings menu

 

[Geralt_of_bsas]

"AllowSharpen"

hell fucking true !!!

Oh well, if I don't have to deal with that performance crap that is MSAA I'll be very happy.

Sometimes TXAA has bigger performance hit than MSAA and gives worse quality.

I saw some decal settings though I am not sure what they are for, could be blood and other things.

Not quite how it works, there's multiple types of Aliasing

Geometry
Temporal
Transparency
Shader
Texture
Subpixel

MSAA only addresses Geometry Aliasing and doesn't work very well with deferred rendering IIRC. TXAA tackles Geometry AND Temporal AA. FXAA can do Transparency AA and I think subpixel too though not sure.

Bottom line is - there's multiple different types of aliasing not just 'jagged edges'.

The real question is... "MovieUbersampling=true"

Is that what I think it is??

Where do you see this? I will lose my mind now.

 

[Rudlee]

It'd be pretty neat if you could modify these things in-game this time around, and not have to worry that your settings will get reset if you enter options in the launcher and stuff like that...

 

[Sken]

Great thread, lots of settings to play with))

 

[Cuddlecakes]

Where do you see this? I will lose my mind now.

There's a line like that in the ...\bin\config\base\visuals.ini file

[Visuals]
Gamma=1
MovieFramerate=30.0
MovieUbersampling=true

Than after you done editing your ini file, save it, close it right click on it and go to properties, check option for read-only and you are set. File will not be edited by game.
