Thanks for this Awesome Game :)

1.Locate the folder which contains the files we are going to edit:
Documents > My Games > Outlast > OLGame > Config

2.Copy the contents of that folder into another one.

▶ PLEASE note that once you modify a file you have to tick the 'Read Only' box, to do this: Right click on the file, Properties, and tick the read only box.



Open "OLGame.ini" with a text editor (such as Notepad++) and look for "DefaultFOV=" and "RunningFOV=", then change the values to whatever you want.

Please note that 110º in this game looks like 90º in others, like Call of duty.

Example:
DefaultFOV=110.0
RunningFOV=120.0

--------
↓↓IMPORTANT (CAMERA FOV)↓↓: When you look through your camera you have a different FOV. To change it you have to edit the following lines:

CamcorderNVMaxFOV=83.0
CamcorderMaxFOV=83.0

▶ ↓Just replace 83 with your normal fov, if your defaultfov is 110 then :↓

CamcorderNVMaxFOV=110.0
CamcorderMaxFOV=110.0

IMPORTANT:
The following lines are repeated a few times in the file, so you MUST change it all to False and 0 in order to FULLY Unlock the Frames Per Second limit.

Open "OLEngine.ini" and look for these lines:
bSmoothFrameRate=TRUE
MinSmoothedFrameRate=22
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=62


▶ ↓If you want no FPS limit do this:↓
bSmoothFrameRate=FALSE
MinSmoothedFrameRate=0
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=0

(0 means UNLIMITED, you can change it to whatever you want)




PLEASE TICK THE 'READ ONLY' BOX IN THIS FILE!

I only recommend turning off Motion Blur if you run this game at 60fps or higher.

Open "OLSystemSettings.ini", change this:

MotionBlur=True
MotionBlurPause=True
MotionBlurSkinning=1
AllowRadialBlur=True
MaxFilterBlurSampleCount=16
MobilePostProcessBlurAmount=32.0

▶ ↓To this:↓

MotionBlur=FALSE
MotionBlurPause=FALSE
MotionBlurSkinning=0
AllowRadialBlur=FALSE
MaxFilterBlurSampleCount=8
MobilePostProcessBlurAmount=16.0

-------------------------

If the above method doesn't work for you, you can try this modded file made by LoneWolfDon (just replace the necessary files): https://www.dropbox.com/s/i0t6dhppi8mkio8/OLSystemSettings.zip

Thx to LONEWOLFDON





In "OLEngine.ini" look for these lines and change 1024 and 256 to the desired values:

MaxProcBuildingLODColorTextureSize=1024
MaxProcBuildingLODLightingTextureSize=256


▶ ↓Example:↓

MaxProcBuildingLODColorTextureSize=2048
MaxProcBuildingLODLightingTextureSize=1024





2 Methods, (use both to have better results)

1. - Go to "OLEngine.ini", under "[TextureStreaming]" Edit "Poolsize=", and set it to 280 at least: (mine is at 1024 = 1 GB VRAM (I have 3GB)

Examples: (just test)
PoolSize=1024
PoolSize=280
PoolSize=560

[...]As a matter of fact, increase it anyway. Suggested value: 560 on high-end GPU, 280 on others. Defragmenting your drive might also help with stuttering/small freezes.

..........................................................................................................


2. - In the same file (OLEngine.ini), look for "TimeBetweenPurgingPendingKillObjects=". Change the value to 3600.

▶ Like this: TimeBetweenPurgingPendingKillObjects=3600

Origineel geplaatst door MBgeek:

(http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showpost.php?p=17496804&postcount=14)
[...]
TimeBetweenPurgingPendingKillObjects=10

I set it to 20 and now I got the stutter every 20 seconds...I then bumped it up to 3600 (1 hour) and haven't seen it since.

Who knows what will happen after an hour...lol

Hope that helps someone, it was making me nuts

*UPDATE*

Origineel geplaatst door SKINNIE:

The DLC broke the MSAA Antialiasing[/b] for me. Turns everything really dark to the point of being unplayable. Have to switch bAllowD3D9MSAA in the OLSystemSettings.ini back to False.
Su**s cause MSAA was working so well for me before I bought the DLC. :(

*UPDATE 2*

Origineel geplaatst door chillgreg:

[...]this setting causes strange (unplayable) lighting:
bAllowD3D9MSAA=True
Set back to FALSE, no problems

Origineel geplaatst door Eggahertz:

The culprit for this appears to be the setting

AllowSkin=TRUE

(located in OLSystemSettings.ini), which is enabled when effects are set to high/very high. Changing this setting to FALSE under the heading that corresponds to your effects setting ([SystemSettingsBucket4] for high and [SystemSettingsBucket5] for very high) eliminates the lighting problem, although the artifacts from before persist.

Please note that I don't know what the AllowSkin setting actually does (I couldn't tell the difference one way or the other), only that it doesn't play nice with MSAA.

--------

*Works good on AMD and NVIDIA (I think)

In "OLSystemSettings.ini", change this:

MaxMultiSamples=1
bAllowD3D9MSAA=False

▶ ↓To this:↓

MaxMultiSamples=2
bAllowD3D9MSAA=True


(In "MaxMultiSamples=" you can use 2, 4, or 8 I think)

Origineel geplaatst door CalinTM:

To use SGSSAA, you need a nvidia GPU and follow these steps from here:

This does require a powerful system!

- Download Nvidia Inspector
- Open up the program
- Open up the Profile settings ( Tool button on the right side of driver version )
- Open the Outlast profile ( if you havn't created it yet, look in the previous section )
- Paste 0x000010C1 in the "Antialiasing Combatibility" section
- Set "Antialiasing - Mode" to: Override any application setting
- Set "Antialiasing - Setting" to: 2x [2x Multisampling]
- Set "Antialiasing - Transparency Supersampling" to: 2x Sparse Grid Supersampling
- Set "Lod Bias" to: -0.500 for 2x
- -1.000 for 4x
- -1.500 for 8x

Note: you can set it to 4x or even 8x if your system is powerful enough, always be sure that the values in multisampling and supersampling match up.


Should look like this:

"Taken from my thread...

Also if you want to enable Physx on the GPU instead of CPU, modify this to False
bDisablePhysXHardwareSupport=False (found in OLEngine.ini)"

Also:

Origineel geplaatst door CalinTM:

You can downsample and disable AA, almost the same effect. My 120hz monitor can't downsample at 120hz...if you have a 60hz monitor you can downsample to 1440p.

In "OLSystemSettings.ini", look for:
ResX=
ResY=

▶ ↓Change it to whatever you want (800x600, 1920x1080, etc)↓

For Example:

ResX=1920
ResY=1080

(If you see a black screen you can change "fullscreen=true" to "fullscreen=false" or change screen resolution to a lower one or check your drivers or and install/update directX...)

Note: Changing battery life is only recommended if you are stuck somewhere or you ran out of batteries :).

Go to "OlGame.ini" and change "BatteryDuration=150.0" to the desired value.
(The value is measured in seconds)

For example you can change the value to 300, so you have 300 seconds of battery life .

Note:*I think it does not remove the film grain at all*

Go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Outlast\Engine\Config

Then open "ConsoleVariables.ini" and under "[Startups]" write:
"ImageGrain = 0.0" or the desired value.

▶ ↓So it looks like:↓

[Startup]
ImageGrain = 0.0

UPDATE:
It seems that is possible to remove the grain filter, but I think it removes the night vision effect (I haven't personally tried this):

Set 'OneFrameThreadLag=False' in OLSystemSettings.ini for increased mouse responsiveness.

Does anyone know how to disable messages like "press left click to open the door"? (I can't turn off in the subtitle menu) They distract and ruin the atmosphere!

Try this in OLGame.ini

[OLGame.OLHUD]
bAlwaysShowPrompts=false
