I’ve been messing with some settings that can be added to the game’s configuration files.
Specifically the files located in:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Tower\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\
or the Linux equivalent.
I’m by no means an expert on UE4 so any of this information my be wholly incorrect but I figured this would be a good first post because I can also get to see some input from everyone else (hopefully someone smarter than me) in regards to the effectiveness of the settings I’m using as well as some things I may have overlooked.
These are the settings I’m using (which go in Engine.ini) and they’re just a hodgepodge of different console variables I’ve gathered over the years of playing UE games; no idea if these all work for TU or not.

After:
The largest changes are probably just in the FOV and TAA but the TAA fixes aren’t easy to notice in a still image.
Does anyone else play around with these?
