Performance Fix

I did some tests with Engine.ini file settings and solved the problem with stuttering in game, this doesn't mean it's a 100% solution for everyone, but you can try.

1) Press Win + R and open
%localappdata%\Banishers Ghosts of New Eden\Saved\Config\Windows\

2) Create Engine.ini file

3) Add next parameters:

[/script/engine.engine]
bUseFixedFrameRate=false
bSmoothFrameRate=false

[SystemSettings]
r.TextureStreaming=0
r.Streaming.FullyLoadUsedTextures=1
r.Streaming.LimitPoolSizeToVRAM=1

Save and make this file READ ONLY.

4) Launch the game!

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

Additional useful settings for Engine.ini file:
(!) Use all these settings under [SystemSettings].

If you play with TAA anti-aliasing and think game looks too much blurry, you can disable TAA and enable FXAA, FXAA works very well with Nvidia DSR\DLDSR.

r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=1
r.PostProcessAAQuality=6

You also can add sharpening filter (min. 0 and max. 1):

r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=0.5

###

Remove mouse smoothing and acceleration + decrease render latency:

[/script/engine.inputsettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=false
bViewAccelerationEnabled=false
bDisableMouseAcceleration=true
r.OneFrameThreadLag=0

###

Increase LOD (+ fixes pop-in textures):

r.ViewDistanceScale=5.0
r.StaticMeshLODDistanceScale=0.25
foliage.LODDistanceScale=5.0

###

Remove effects like film grain, motion blur, chromatic aberration:

r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0
r.Tonemapper.Quality=3
r.MotionBlurQuality=0

###

You also can just copy my config.

[/script/engine.engine]
bUseFixedFrameRate=false
bSmoothFrameRate=false

[/script/engine.inputsettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=false
bViewAccelerationEnabled=false

[SystemSettings]
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0
r.Tonemapper.Quality=3
r.MotionBlurQuality=0

r.ViewDistanceScale=5.0
r.StaticMeshLODDistanceScale=0.25

foliage.LODDistanceScale=5.0

r.TextureStreaming=0
r.Streaming.FullyLoadUsedTextures=1
r.Streaming.LimitPoolSizeToVRAM=1

r.CreateShadersOnLoad=1

r.OneFrameThreadLag=0

###

Recommendation for NVIDIA users with strong GPU and 1080p/1440p monitors.
For best quality enable in NVIDIA Control Panel DSR 1.78x DL and choose in game your new higher resolution screen and DLSS Quality, this combination much better than native resolution with TAA anti-aliasing. Second option is DSR 2.25x DL and DLSS Performance.
AMD users can do similar steps with own super sampling settings and FSR.
For this trick you need use Fullscreen mode, or if you want use Borderless you need at first change desktop screen resolution and after that launch the game.

###

(!) UPDATE INFO (28.02.2024)

If fps drop still persist, open steam game launch option and add
-NOTEXTURESTREAMING

###

p.s. sorry for my English, hope this information helps you <3

Will it stop the bloody crashing?

I'm trying it out in the village area and it seems to be going great... The game is not over yet. If all goes well you're the best

Sometimes mine takes 2 hour to crash, others 2 minutes.

Going to test now

Thank you. Maybe, consider making a guide for engine.ini settings.

To remove depth of field: (generally works in Unreal engine games)
[/script/engine.renderersettings]
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0

To remove film grain: (seems to work but not 100% sure)
[/script/engine.renderersettings]
r.Tonemapper.Quality=3

This works perfectly. Thank you so much for posting this fix!

Same thing for me too. In the mountain level everything goes smoothly and as soon as I traveled into the village it crashed after 30 seconds.I put the junglbob settings and in 30 minutes in the village it went great. I'll try again tonight

i used your config and it is perfect. Stable and no stuterring. THX

Pandemonium 22 Feb @ 4:55pm

I cant tell if the travel stutter has reduced but I do know I created the file correctly because the removal of film grain works

Hey how do you create a engine ini file?

Create a new text document, you then have to open it (with Notepad) and save it as "Engine.ini" once done close it. You should then see a configuration settings file with that name, that you can then re-open with Notepad, copy and paste all those settings or the ones you want to use. Save it, close it and change the properties to "read only." Delete the left-over "new text document."

If someone knows a different way to do that or a simpler way, feel free to elaborate.

or you can just copy and paste any .ini file after that rename this file to Engine.ini and remove all text.
