Lords of the Fallen (2023)

1. Open %LOCALAPPDATA%\LOTF2\Saved\Config\Windows\Engine.ini.
2. Add the following lines to the file:

[/Script/EngineSettings.GameMapsSettings]
GameDefaultMap=/Game/World/Character_Creation/LVL_Char_Creation.LVL_Char_Creation

Save the file and launch the game.

1. Download the CE table along with Cheat Engine.
2. Attach the script to the game process.
3. Activate the Cheat Manager script when game is at the main menu.
4. Activate Create Console, and open it with ~.
5. Use FOV 90 or other values to change the FOV.

Virtual shadowmaps are UE 5.x specific technology that renders high resolution shadows to a virtual texture. By default the game opts to use older cascade shadow maps technology at a very low resolution, supplementing them with distance field shadows.

1. Open %LOCALAPPDATA%\LOTF2\Saved\Config\Windows\Engine.ini.
2. Add following lines to the file:

[SystemSettings]
r.Shadow.Virtual.Enable=1

Save the file and launch the game.

By default VSM tiles are cached as the system tries to detect which tiles need to be updated. Detection algorithm can fail to pick up on small (relatively to tile surface) objects moving out of a given tile, causing smearing artifacts as previous tile is not invalidated properly.

This behavior can be fixed by disabling caching via r.Shadow.Virtual.Cache=0 command, which will incur extra performance cost.

If caching is left enabled, extra performance (at the cost of extra VRAM usage) can be gained by enabling drawing dynamic objects to separate pages via r.Shadow.Virtual.Cache.StaticSeparate=1

Sets the r.tonemapper.sharpen value to 0 from 1.3. The game looks very oversharpened otherwise, especially while using DLAA or Quality preset.

1. Download mod from Nexus Mods.
2. Extract and place the .pak file inside <path-to-game>\LOTF2\Content\Paks\~mods
   Create ~mods folder if it's not there.

Reduces r.Lumen.Reflections.MaxRoughnessToTrace to prevent white shimmer/noise when moving camera

1. Open %LOCALAPPDATA%\LOTF2\Saved\Config\Windows\Engine.ini.
2. Add the following lines to the file:

[/Script/Engine.RendererSettings]
r.Lumen.Reflections.MaxRoughnessToTrace=0

Prevents white shimmer/noise on motion that appears in some graphics configurations, particularly noticeable when turning the camera. Without the fix, this noise tends to be more prevalent with FSR enabled, but may still appear in reduced quantities with it disabled.

Causes some loss of detail in reflections on glossy surfaces^[2][3]

• 

  Example of more prevalent noise with FSR enabled; most visible in-game while spinning camera

• 

  Example of noise with FSR disabled

1. Open Game.ini in the game's configuration file folder.
2. Add the following lines:

   [CommonInputPlatformSettings_Windows CommonInputPlatformSettings]
   DefaultGamepadName=PS5
   bCanChangeGamepadType=False
   

3. Save and close the file.

This may not work for platforms other than Steam.

Disabling EAC allows swapping to newer DLSS versions.

This will effectively disable all forms of online play as the sessions will fail to make an EAC handshake.

Pre 1.1.217:

As of version 1.1.217 the game client detects presence of steam_appid.txt separately from EAC and will refuse to start when the file is detected.

1. Go to <path-to-game>\LOTF2\Binaries\Win64.
2. Create steam_appid.txt
3. Paste following text into the file: 1501750 and save it.
4. Open %LOCALAPPDATA%\LOTF2\Saved\Config\Windows\Engine.ini.
5. Add the following lines to the file:

   [EpicOnlineServices]
   EnableAntiCheat=False
   

6. Boot the game using LOTF2-Win64-Shipping.exe located in <path-to-game>\LOTF2\Binaries\Win64

Post 1.1.217:

1. Go to <path-to-game>\LOTF2\Binaries\Win64.
2. Create a bat file with any name.
3. Edit the .bat file with any text editor and add the following lines:

set SteamAppId=1501750
set SteamGameId=1501750
start LOTF2-Win64-Shipping.exe

4. Open %LOCALAPPDATA%\LOTF2\Saved\Config\Windows\Engine.ini.
5. Add the following lines to the file:

   [EpicOnlineServices]
   EnableAntiCheat=False
   

6. Boot the game using the created .bat file.

Microsoft Store / Game Pass version:
Boot the game using LOTF2-WinGDK-Shipping.exe located in <path-to-game>\Content\LOTF2\Binaries\WinGDK

1. Enable DLSS
2. Disable Frame Generation
3. Disable DLSS again
4. Now VSync can be toggled.

This is likely only an issue on 4000 Series Nvidia cards.
