Introduction

Void Interactive don't have an in-game option to change basic options that are available in most PC games for version 1.0 of Ready or Not, so here's an in-depth INI tweak guide showing you how to do so.

Engine.ini file location

Make sure Ready or Not is not running.
Press [Windows Logo] + [R] on your keyboard to bring up the Run program.
Copy and paste the following into the text field and click OK:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\ReadyOrNot\Saved\Config\Windows
In the Explorer window that's now open, find a INI file called Engine.ini and open it in your preferred text editor.

Significantly reduce film grain

At the bottom of the file, insert the following text (if you already have text in the file, then just add the text below beneath it), save the file and exit the text editor:

[/script/engine.renderersettings] //only add this line of text if it's not already present r.Tonemapper.Quality=3 //no default value set for this setting (value range 0 to 5, adjusts quality of colour and tone with 0 being the lowest quality)

Scale UI

At the bottom of the file, insert the following text (if you already have text in the file, then just add the text below beneath it), save the file and exit the text editor:

[/script/engine.userinterfacesettings] //only add this line of text if it's not already present ApplicationScale=1.35 //default value used by the game is 1.0 (value range 0.1 to 5, scales the UI by a multiplier, relative to the default value and as a percentage)

Adjust brightness

At the bottom of the file, insert the following text (if you already have text in the file, then just add the text below beneath it), save the file and exit the text editor:

[/script/engine.engine] //only add this line of text if it's not already present DisplayGamma=2.5 //default value used by the game is 2.2 (value range 0.1 to 3, increases or decreases the amount of gamma correction, adjusting the midtones of the screen)

Preload shaders for DX11

At the bottom of the file, insert the following text (if you already have text in the file, then just add the text below beneath it), save the file and exit the text editor:

[/script/engine.renderersettings] //only add this line of text if it's not already present r.CreateShadersOnLoad=1 //no default value set for this setting (value range 0 or 1, disables or enables pre-caching of shaders on level load)

Conclusion

That's it! Settings applied to the Engine.ini file will remain after launching Ready or Not. Make sure Ready or Not is not running when modifying any of the values to your preference.

Sir: You are the bee's knees.

"Preload shaders for DX11" should already be happening regardless, looks placebo.

You're right, I'll update the guide to clarify what the values pertain to.

HVA_HeadBusta 12 Jan, 2024 @ 9:35am

Just a suggestion: Maybe add a description of the value range (In example, for film grain does setting it to zero disable film grain? Or does Scale UI value act as a multiplier, or does it scale linearly?). I mean when the values are either 0 or 1 it's pretty obvious that translates to disabled or enabled. Beyond that things can get weird in Unreal with multiple values.
