# Graphics Options

###############################################################################



# internal rendering resolution of the game

# higher values will decrease performance

# setting 1280*1024 fixed the seams in main menu elements for me - Kaucukovnik

renderWidth 1920

renderHeight 1080



############# Anti Aliasing



# AA toggle and quality setting

# 0 = off (best performance, worst IQ)

# 1 = low 

# 2 = medium

# 3 = high

# 4 = ultra (worst performance, best IQ)

aaQuality 2



# AA type

# either "SMAA" or "FXAA"

aaType SMAA



############# Ambient Occlusion



# Enable and set the strength of the SSAO effect (all 3 settings have the same performance impact!)

# 0 = off

# 1 = low

# 2 = medium

# 3 = high

ssaoStrength 0



# Set SSAO scale

# 1 = high quality (default)

# 2 = lower quality, lower impact on performance

# 3 = lowest quality, lowest impact on performance

ssaoScale 1



# Determine the type of AO used

# "VSSAO" = Volumetric SSAO (default, suggested)

# "HBAO" = Horizon-Based Ambient Occlusion

# "SCAO" = VSSAO + HBAO

# VSSAO and  HBAO types have a different effect and similar performance

# SCAO combines both, with a higher performance impact

ssaoType VSSAO



############# Depth of field



# Depth of Field resolution override, possible values:

# 0 = no change from default (DoF pyramid starts at 512x360)

# 540 = DoF pyramid starts at 960x540

# 810 = DoF pyramid starts at 1440x810

# 1080 = DoF pyramid starts at 1920x1080

# 2160 = DoF pyramid starts at 3840x2160

# higher values will decrease performance

# do NOT set this to the same value as your vertical rendering resolution!

dofOverrideResolution 810



# Depth of Field scaling override (NOT RECOMMENDED)

# 0 = DoF scaling enabled (default, recommended)

# 1 = DoF scaling disabled (sharper, worse performance, not as originally intended)

disableDofScaling 0



# Depth of field additional blur

# allows you to use high DoF resolutions and still get the originally intended effect

# suggested values:

# o (off) at default DoF resolution

# 0 or 1 at 540 DoF resolution

# 1 or 2 above that

# 3 or 4 at 2160 DoF resolution (if you're running a 680+)

dofBlurAmount 1



############# Framerate



# Enable variable framerate (up to 60)

# NOTE:

# - this requires in-memory modification of game code, and may get you banned from GFWL

# - there may be unintended side-effects in terms of gameplay

# - you need a very powerful system (especially CPU) in order to maintain 60 FPS

# - in some  instances, collision detection may fail. Avoid sliding down ladders

# Use this at your own risk!

# 0 = no changes to game code

# 1 = unlock the frame rate

unlockFPS 0



# FPS limit, only used with unlocked framerate

# do not set this much higher than 60, this will lead to various issues with the engine

FPSlimit 60



# FPS threshold

# DSfix will dynamically disable AA if your framerate drops below this value 

#  and re-enable it once it has normalized (with a bit of hysteresis thresholding)

FPSthreshold 28



############# Filtering



# texture filtering override

# 0 = no change 

# 1 = enable supersampling by downscaling (use only if you need it!)

# 2 = full AF override (may degrade performance)

# if in doubt, leave this at 0

filteringOverride 0



###############################################################################

# HUD options - WARNING - visual glitches will ensue if you set this on

###############################################################################



# Enable HUD modifications

# 0 = off (default) - none of the options below will do anything!

# 1 = on

enableHudMod 0



# Remove the weapon icons from the HUD 

# (you can see which weapons you have equipped from your character model)

enableMinimalHud 1



# Scale down HuD, examples:

# 1.0 = original scale

# 0.75 = 75% of the original size

hudScaleFactor 0.75



# Set opacity for different elements of the HUD

# 1.0 = fully opaque

# 0.0 = fully transparent

# Top left: health bars, stamina bar, humanity counter, status indicators

hudTopLeftOpacity 0.8f

# Bottom left: item indicators & counts

hudBottomLeftOpacity 0.75f

# Bottom right: soul count 

hudBottomRightOpacity 0.0f



###############################################################################

# Window & Mouse Cursor Options

###############################################################################



# borderless fullscreen mode 

# make sure to select windowed mode in the game settings for this to work!

# 0 = disable

# 1 = enable

borderlessFullscreen 0



# disable cursor at startup

# 0 = no change

# 1 = off at start

disableCursor 1



# capture cursor (do not allow it to leave the window)

# 0 = don't capture

# 1 = capture

# (this also works if the cursor is not visible)

captureCursor 1



###############################################################################

# Save Game Backup Options

###############################################################################



# enables save game backups

# 0 = no backups

# 1 = backups enabled

# backups are stored in the save folder, as "_.bak"

enableBackups 1



# backup interval in seconds (1500 = 25 minutes)

# (minimum setting 600)

backupInterval 600



# maximum amount of backups, older ones will be deleted

maxBackups 20



###############################################################################

# Texture Override Options

###############################################################################



# enables texture dumping

# you *only* need this if you want to create your own override textures

# textures will be dumped to "dsfix\tex_override\.tga"

enableTextureDumping 0



# enables texture override

# textures in "dsfix\tex_override\.png" will replace the corresponding originals

# will cause a small slowdown during texture loading!

enableTextureOverride 1



###############################################################################

# Other Options

###############################################################################



# skip the intro logos

# this should now be slightly more stable, but should still be

# the first thing to disable in case you experience any problems

skipIntro 1



# change the screenshot directory

# default: . (current directory)

# example: C:\Users\Peter\Pictures

# directory must exist!

screenshotDir .



# override the in-game language

# none = no override

# en-GB = English, fr = French, it = Italian, de = German, es = Spanish

# ko = Korean, zh-tw = Chinese, pl = Polish, ru = Russian

# this does not work in Windows XP!

overrideLanguage none



# Dinput dll chaining

# if you want to use another dinput8.dll wrapper together

# with DSfix, rename it (e.g. "dinputwrapper.dll") and put the new name here

dinput8dllWrapper dsmfix.dll

# dsmfix.dll



# D3D adapter override

# -1 = no override

# N = use adapter N

# this setting is for multiple (non-SLI/crossfire) GPUs

# everyone else should leave it at -1

d3dAdapterOverride -1



# Log level - 0 to 11, higher numbers mean more logging

# only enable for debugging

logLevel 0
