A short guide for setting a config to get higher FPS
Author Note: I use this config on my GPU-less potato PC to play the game, works fairly well.
1. Config file location
The file in which the game settings are saved is in this directory:
C: \Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\EA Games\Dead Space 3\ -Here are all the files-
C: \Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\EA Games\Dead Space 3\ -Here are all the files-
There´s 3 files in this folder:
controls.rmp
general.txt
system.txt <– This is the one we want
2. Editing the file
Before you touch anything, make a backup for the system.txt file.
To do so, click it, press Ctrl + C and then Ctrl + V
To do so, click it, press Ctrl + C and then Ctrl + V
After making the backup open the original file, delete everything and paste this: *
Audio.MusicVol = 1.00000000 Audio.Output = 0 Audio.SFXVol = 1.00000000 Audio.Subtitles = true Audio.VoiceVol = 1.00000000 Misc.MaxJobThreads = -1 QualityOptions.AAMode = 0 QualityOptions.ActorMotionBlur = false QualityOptions.Aniso = 1 QualityOptions.Bloom = false QualityOptions.Blur = false QualityOptions.ConfigType = 1 QualityOptions.Decals = false QualityOptions.Distortion = false QualityOptions.DoF = false QualityOptions.Flare = true QualityOptions.Glow = false QualityOptions.HighLightQuality = false QualityOptions.LightingAccQuality = false QualityOptions.ManipColor = false QualityOptions.ShaderQuality = 0 QualityOptions.Shadows = 0 QualityOptions.SSAO2 = false QualityOptions.SSR = false Window.Border = false Window.FOVScale = 1.2 Window.Fullscreen = false Window.Gamma = 0.65000000 Window.Height = 360 Window.Hz = 60 Window.Left = 0 Window.State = 2 Window.Top = 0 Window.TopMost = false Window.VSync = false Window.WideScreen = false Window.Width = 600
Antes de que toques cualquier cosa y hagas cagada hace una copia de seguridad del archivo system.txt (la verdad no hace falta porque si borras el archivo el juego te crea otro pero queseyo).
3. Final step
After closing and saving the system.txt file, right click it and select properties. In the properties tab click the “Read only” checkbox, apply and close.
