HOW CAN I REDUCE THE GLOBAL ILLUMINATION?

[krisz_0325]

Hi, I’m trying to reduce my Global Illumination (Lumen) to medium level because I want a performance friendly game.
I’m using SM5 DirectX 11 and Lumen for reflections and Gi so I want to reduce the quality of it to get more frames but keep the other quality presets on Epic because Gi is the one that eats performance. How can I do this to Gi to stay medium even in packaged form?

Thanks in advance

You can edit DefaultScalability.ini

I found a temporary fix here. Go into Program Files\Unreal Engine\4.0\Engine\Config, back up your BaseScalability.ini to some other folder, then change every single value to the one you want. For example, change [ResolutionQuality@3] r.ScreenPercentage=-1 to [ResolutionQuality@3] r.ScreenPercentage=50 etc. Then when you package your game it’ll use these settings. Unfortunately this means every one of your end-users has to play the game using your settings.

Also, see this about how the engine will scale down anyway, even if you start on Epic

Hey, I was wondering what scalability settings are used for a packeged project (what scalability setting will be used by default when I run the built game). Does it use my editor scalability settings at the time of packaging?
