Blacklight: Retribution BEYOND ULTRA Graphics

March 12th, 2018 Games

These are settings that make the game look better than the max in-game settings, in my opinion. You'll need a pretty beefy GPU to run this smoothly. Screenshots here, although they don't really show the full effect. Biggest changes are sharper textures/shadows, a much smoother framerate and decreased input lag (depending on your GPU). Keep in mind that if you make any changes in-game after updating your INI (like turning weather effects off, motion blur on, etc.), you might lose some of these settings.

If you don't understand any of this, you should probably leave it alone.
 

Steps

  1. Open game, max all settings, and exit.
  2. Open C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\blacklightretribution\FoxGame\Config\PCConsole\Cooked\FoxSystemSettings.ini in a text editor.
  3. Find settings below and change to match. If a setting doesn't exist already, add it.
