"Very low" video quality config

By Proto

Configuration tweak for even lower quality options the game offers. If this doesn't give you a stability and FPS boost, nothing will.

Writing the config

Inside Windows, press the Windows + R keys.
(Windows should be between your left Ctrl and Alt keys).

The Run dialog box will appear. Copy the following and paste in the Run dialog:

shell:savedgames\MachineGames\Wolfenstein II The New Colossus\base

Press OK and the "base" folder of the game will appear, where you keep your configuration and saved games.

In this folder, create a new text file named "custom.txt" with the following content:

com_skipBootSequence "1" is_poolSize "384" r_chromaticAberration "0" r_clusteredDeferredRendering "0" r_decalDistanceFadeMultiplier "0.4" r_decalLifetimeMultiplier "0" r_dof "0" r_dofTAA "0" r_filmGrainRatio "0" r_hdrBloom "0" r_imageAtlasMaxAniso "1" r_lightDistanceFadeMultiplier "0.4" r_lightScatteringQuality "0" r_motionblur "0" r_motionBlurQuality "0" r_particleFadeQualityMultiplier "0.4" r_particlesLightAtlasHeight "1024" r_particlesLightAtlasQuality "0" r_particlesLightAtlasWidth "1024" r_shadowAtlasHeight "4096" r_shadowAtlasTileSize "1024" r_shadowAtlasWidth "4096" r_shadowHardLimitPixels "16384" r_shadowHardLimitTriangles "32768" r_shadowsDistanceFadeMultiplier "0.4" r_shadowSoftLimitPixels "16384" r_shadowSoftLimitTriangles "2048" r_sharpening "0" r_SSDO "0" r_SSDOQuality "0" r_SSR "0" r_SSRQuality "0" vt_maxLockedPagesPercent "10" vt_maxPPF "16" vt_pageImageSizeUnique "2048" vt_pageImageSizeVmtr "2048" echo Very low configuration applied, please restart the game. wait wait

Applying the config

Start the game, pull down the console with the tilde key, and write the following:

exec custom.txt

In the console there should be a message that says the config was applied and the game must be restarted.
Do it and see the results for yourself.

Enjoy!

EDIT 1: As of December 13, 2017, "is_poolSize 256" crashes the game, so the configuration was updated to set it to 384.
EDIT 2: At some update, the "clear" console command started crashing the game. It has been removed from the config.

Doesn't help a lot. Running GTX6502GB and I don't find this config much different than built-in "low" preset

@CanaSoupe:
Are you sure your file is not named " custom.txt.txt "? If you created the file with Notepad, it has the tendency to put the file type by its own (the last ".txt"). Try naming the file "custom" alone, and then try again.

CanaSoupe 27 Dec, 2017 @ 10:59am

it's saying "can't exec custom.txt"

This is probably what the switch version will run like.

Funny how people have to resort to this, rather than the devs working on patches.

@A Goddamn Cook!:
You are the second person who tells me that. Unfortunately, it's hard for me to replicate what may be causing your problem.
Can you delete the lines from 33 to 37 in the config and try executing it again?
I'm referring to these lines:

vt_maxLockedPagesPercent "10"
vt_maxPPF "16"
vt_pageImageSizeUnique "2048"
vt_pageImageSizeVmtr "2048"
clear

They're related to memory management and may have something to do with the crash. Make sure you can run the game in "low" video quality first, to return those values to default.

Sorry m8, that crashes the game, not sure what causes it.
