This guide introduces graphical tweaks to the Unreal Engine to improve graphic fidelity and visual quality of the game. Unreal Engine is a versatile engine whereby changes to command variables can be made relatively easily using the engine’s .ini files. This guide sets out how to do that as it relates to Back 4 Blood which uses Unreal Engine 4.
First Things First…
These modifications require high-end hardware.
Do not attempt to run these tweaks unless you meet the following minimum hardware requirements:
Processor: Intel Core i7-6600K Processor or higher, or equivalent
Memory: 16GB
Graphics Card: RTX 3070Ti with 8GB VRAM or greater
Also, do not attempt this mod if you are not comfortable modifying configuration files.
Disclaimer:
Use of this mod is at your own risk. I am not responsible for hardware failure or problems with your game through use of this mod.
What does this mod do?
This mod modifies several Unreal Engine 4 .ini files to result in better graphical fidelity in Back4Blood.
With this mod, you will achieve:
- 4K resolution scaling
- Sharper graphics with Temporal AA
- Maximum Anisotropy at 16x
- All Unreal Engine Scalability Groups maxed out
- Ambient Occlusion
- Autoexposure (which makes improvements to the game world lighting and adds immersion)
Modifying Unreal Engine 4 *.ini* Files
Follow the following steps to complete this mod:
Step 1: Navigate to “C:\Users\…..\AppData\Local\Back4Blood”
Step 2: Within the “Back4Blood” folder, navigate to: “..Steam\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor”
Step 3: Place the “Engine.ini” and “GameUserSettings.ini” into the “WindowsNoEditor” folder.
Step 4: Right click both the “Engine.ini” and “GameSettings.ini” files and go to Properties, then select “Read Only” under Attributes. Click Apply.
Step 5: Launch the game, and enjoy better graphical fidelity while watching your GPU struggle.
