• Download "kcd_optimized_graphic_presets" and extract its content directly in game's root folder (eg: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\KingdomComeDeliverance") Overwrite files if asked (it will only overwrite previous versions of this mod)

Removal

Download 'ogp_uninstall.bat' from optional files and run it from game root folder (eg: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\KingdomComeDeliverance")

Hotkeys

d = ensure game runs in native fullscreen F1 to F5 = mod's presets: ugly, low, medium, high, ultra F6 to F10 = vanilla's presets: low, medium, high, very high, ultra

Q: How to fix "blocky pixels" ? Set an higher global illumination setting, or choose "baked".

Q: Why advanced settings menu has "Controls" title ? It's the only way to display more buttons in the menu.

ChangeLog

3.3.0

• NEW/FIX: Texture settings is now correctly applied (also fixes "texture setting stuck at lowest" bug)
• MOD: Simplified menu: no more confirmations. Makes flowSHARTs a bit less unmanageable... Plus actionscript behavior isn't the same in every menu anyway...
• MOD: When changing profile in the basic settings menu, texture is always set to medium. WONFIX (it would only lead to flowSHARTs chaos...), use advanced settings to change it.
• MOD: improved grass settings (increased grass-terrain color bending distance)

3.2.1

• FIX: Reset settings as they were where leaving adv settings menu without saving changes.
• FIX: Force LOD system to refresh sooner, in main menu ("Reload the game, I get washed (blur) background" bug)

3.2.0

• NEW: Save settings when leaving Simple Graphic Menu
• NEW: Added SMAA T2x without subsampling as flicker-free AA option
• MOD: SMAA2TxSS uses x3 subsampling (was x2 previously)
• FIX: "Loaded settings overridden by vanilla ones"
• FIX: 3 points lightning setting actual value / gui value mismatch
• FIX: clamp button choices, so buttons wont get an arbitrary value when there's no choice corresponding to cvar's value (eg: ogp_set_physics -5 made menu show Physics: Ugly instead of Medium (the highest choice) )
• FIX: ogp_set_cvar does not try to assign positive values to inexistent xxx_vanilla cvar (was causing inconstant sys_spec_ogp_dof_state value)
• FIX: "no sunshafts even when r_sunshafts=1"
• FIX: ambient occlusion typo
• FIX: removed false-alarm error log when setting custom profile from (simple) graphic setting menu.

3.1.0

• FIX: "Settings aren't saved" issue on Windows10
• FIX: ogp_set_3pl console command now works (to apply 3point lightning settings)
• MOD: Settings are now loaded from lua instead of flowgraph
• MOD: Removed ogp_setup.bat (symb link no longer needed)

3.0.2

• FIX: 75, 95, 100 fov settings

3.0.1

• FIX: Misleading outdated error message in ogp_setup.bat

3.0.0

• NEW: Can set all-in-one profile in (standard) graphic menu.
• NEW: Can change sub-profiles in advanced graphic menu
• NEW: Settings load/saving from user profile
• NEW: In adv Graphic Menu, disabled DoF and vignette effect to see applied changes.
• NEW: Adv Graphic Menu contains 13 options instead of 7
• NEW: in Adv Graphic Menu, Apply does not require confirmation.
• NEW: more SSDO presets (old one is "strong").
• NEW: Unlimited range for rainy/wet terrain shader (practically free, and the seam looked weird).
• NEW: Added baked GI setting, replaces GI off (which made barns and interiors pitch black).
• NEW: Extended FOV choices
• NEW: texture sub-profile with consistent anisotropic values.
• NEW: drunk sharpening on/off
• NEW: 3PL on/off
• NEW: grass wind on/off
• NEW: DoF on/off
• MOD: Hotkeys are set using lua to avoid using user.cfg (also mod.cfg is broken...)
• MOD: Decoupled some settings (AA, motionblur, grass wind, etc.) from profiles so they can be set on their own.
• MOD: Reduced GI flickering even more.
• MOD: GI Settings closer to vanilla look (except baked).
• MOD: Kept only shadows settings with best quality/cost ratio, reduced flickering with lower setting.
• MOD: Redone grass, traded distance for fewer pop-in.
• FIX: "ugly preset crashing game"
• FIX: "Ultra preset typos"
• FIX: "heads disappearing using ugly preset"

2.3

• BUGFIX commented vsync off in user.cfg
• BUGFIX typo ( `e_UberlodDistanceRatio )
• BUGFIX fixed "ugly preset crashing game" issue
• top-level profiles are now cfg files instead of var groups.
• always use e_svoti_ResScaleBase=0, modify e_svoti_LowSpecMode instead.
• added missing ultra preset for shading
• added missing ultra preset for GI
• e_ViewDistMin=40 instead of 50 for ultra
• removed e_UberlodActivate from var groups (had no effect there)
• added e_UberlodActivate in user.cfg
• reduced svoTI saturation
• added more commented tweaks in user.cfg
• replaced readme.txt by README.md

2.21

• bugfix highest preset uses highest settings (ultra was the same as high except for lod)
• shadow presets : r_ShadowCastingLightsMaxCount 0/10/15/20/25 instead of 3 for all (caused shadow flickering because engine looks to randomly pick light...)
• moved d and esc hotkey to user.cfg (so user can disable them)
• increased e_ViewDistMin for low and medium lod presets

2.2

• hopefully fixed blackface
• fixed some shadow flickering
• added CVarGroups to revert vanilla settings for each categories.
• disabled r_VolumetricFogSunLightCorrection (effect only visible if volfog enabled).
• reduced max shadow sources to 3 (should improve perfs vs npcs with torches)
• ugly presets is less ugly (enabled grass-terrain color blending + ssdo + less obvious grass popup), costs ~5% FPS more.
• added a new profile (low had became too heavy)
• increased ssdo str, reduced min radius (so shadow-less glass looks better).
• non-ugly presets use r_AntialiasingTAAPattern (better subsampling)

2.1

• bugfix: low grass preset disabling trees shadows
• shadows settings improvement

2.0

• Added multiple CVarGroups
• Does not reset every settings (physics, etc.)
• All presets use higher rendering quality (better normal mapping / POM / etc.)
• GI cascade lod 5 instead of 4 (vanilla was 2) to reduce flickering even more and marginally increase framerate.
• GI settings should hopefully no longer generate black eyes
• Tweaked shadows for each preset.
• Tweaked grass for each preset.
• Added hotkeys to switch individual sub-presets
• Reduced preset number to only 4 (was 5).

1.31 fixed black eyes

1.3

• interiors are darker (than presets v1.2, it's still a bit brighter than vanilla tho)
• increased ambient occlusion amount
• fixed black eyes
• ugly now show grass (very few)
• ugly now always use lowest lod models
• low preset is faster (should be on pair with vanilla low preset)

1.21 minor global illumination settings tweaks

1.2

• disabled global illumination for ugly presets. As a result you will have to use torches more often but the fps boost is quite huge.
• made the "dark blocks" less visible without impacting framerate too much. (may even boost quality for higher preset in the future)
• doubled the amount of cascades for GI, so it stop flickering due to resolution being to low.
• added hotkeys to change presets
• d key enables native fullscreen

1.1 disabled motionblur
