Introduction
Are you a Steam or Epic PC player struggling with low FPS in Dead by Daylight? Or maybe you're a new player looking to optimize your graphics for the best gaming experience? You've come to the right place. In this article, I will guide you through a few simple steps to boost your FPS and optimize your graphics settings. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, these tips will help you make Dead by Daylight run smoothly with high FPS and the best graphics possible.
Exploring Graphic Optimization in Dead by Daylight
Dead by Daylight offers limited options for graphic optimization. In fact, there are only two settings that can change the overall graphics and render quality. The first step is to explore every parameter available, such as visual terror radius controller, speed hot scaling, and more. Adjust these settings to your liking and then close the game. Remember, all the next steps must be done with the client closed.
Navigating to the System Folder
To optimize the graphics further, we need to navigate to the system folder of the game. Start by accessing the app data folder, which is usually invisible by default. You can make it visible by going to Properties or pressing Windows+R and entering the provided line. Once you're in the app data roaming folder, navigate through the paths shown on the screen. It's important to note that Steam and Epic Games have different final folders, so keep that in mind.
Editing the Engine File
Within the game's system folder, you'll find two files that you can edit to improve graphics and gameplay. One of them is the engine file. Open it in Notepad and add the provided lines at the end of the file. These lines will make the game respond more quickly and smoothly to your actions. If you don't want to edit the file manually, you can download my files from Google Drive. Just ensure that the file is in a read-only state by right-clicking on it, selecting Properties, and checking the "Read-only" box. This prevents the game from overwriting the changes.
Unlocking FPS in the Game User Settings
Now, let's move on to the most important file for unlocking FPS: the game user settings file. Open it in Notepad and you'll see a plethora of settings. These settings are specific to your game, which is why it's crucial to adjust them while you're in the game itself. Focus on the graphics settings first.
Adjusting Graphics Settings
The first group of settings to consider is the scalability groups. These settings range from 0 to 4, with 0 being low, 1 being normal, 2 being high, 3 being ultra, and 4 being the ultra Package d10k. If you have a high-end PC, it's recommended to leave them at 4. However, if you have a lower-performing PC, set everything to 0. If you want crisp, good-looking graphics without putting a strain on your PC, adjust them manually.
Resolution quality determines the rendering quality. It's advisable to leave it at 100 for optimal results. Lower values tend to make the graphics look unappealing. View distance should be set to the lowest value possible to increase FPS if your PC struggles with higher numbers.
Anti-aliasing can be set around one or two for a balance between visual quality and performance. Higher values tend to smooth out the edges but can impact FPS. Shadow quality is personal preference, but a higher value can improve both visuals and visibility.
Post-processing quality doesn't make a significant difference, so leaving it at zero is recommended. Texture quality should be set as high as your GPU can handle, as it greatly enhances the overall visual experience. FX quality and the use of footage and shading animation quality can be set to zero as they have minimal effect on gameplay.
Final Tweaks to Unlock FPS
After adjusting the graphics settings, save the changes made to the game user settings file. Now, let's focus on unlocking FPS. Start by checking the resolution section. There should be a total of 6 lines. Manually adjust them to match your monitor's resolution.
Next, you'll need to turn off Vsync (vertical synchronization). This setting locks the frame rate. To disable Vsync, change the line "bUseVsync=True" to "bUseVsync=False".
Lastly, look for the line called "FrameRateLimit" and set the FPS limit to your monitor's refresh rate or leave it at the preferred FPS. Even if you have a 60Hz monitor, aiming for 120 FPS will result in a smoother gameplay experience. Save the changes, close the file, and don't forget to check the "Read-only" box. Now, launch the game and enjoy Dead by Daylight like never before.
Enhancing the Game's Visuals
If you find the game to be too dark and difficult to see, there's a solution for that as well. In the video provided, instructions on how to make your game look brighter and more visually appealing are shown. This will enhance your overall gaming experience and make Dead by Daylight more enjoyable. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss it.
