About this mod
Take full control of Grounded's Unreal Engine 5 settings. Boost FPS, fix visual bugs, and enhance graphics far beyond the in-game menus. Choose between three distinct presets to match your hardware.
- Permissions and credits
This is for the PC / Steam / Xbox Game Pass version of the game.
Features
Three Different Presets
1. Epic Visuals (12GB+ VRAM)
For high-end systems. This preset pushes Unreal Engine 5 to its limits, enabling features like Volumetric Clouds and setting textures, shadows, and lighting to maximum quality.
2. Visuals & Balance Preset (8GB VRAM)
This is the recommended preset for most players. The goal is to enhance the game's visuals while maintaining excellent performance.
3. Ultra Performance Preset (6GB VRAM or less)
This preset is for players who demand the highest possible framerate. It aggressively cuts GPU-intensive settings while striving to maintain a playable and coherent visual style.
Quick Installation
To uninstall, simply delete the Engine.ini file (the game will create a new default one) or uncheck "Read-only" and restore the default settings in-game.

Three Different Presets
1. Epic Visuals (12GB+ VRAM)
For high-end systems. This preset pushes Unreal Engine 5 to its limits, enabling features like Volumetric Clouds and setting textures, shadows, and lighting to maximum quality.
- Enables beautiful Volumetric Clouds and Fog for incredible atmosphere.
- Sets texture streaming pool to 8GB to eliminate pop-in on high-VRAM cards.
- Pushes shadows and lighting to true "Epic" quality for maximum immersion.
2. Visuals & Balance Preset (8GB VRAM)
This is the recommended preset for most players. The goal is to enhance the game's visuals while maintaining excellent performance.
- Improves shadow quality and distance, reducing blockiness and pop-in.
- Uses a balanced, high-quality Lumen configuration for global illumination.
- Disables distracting post-processing effects like motion blur and chromatic aberration for a cleaner image.
3. Ultra Performance Preset (6GB VRAM or less)
This preset is for players who demand the highest possible framerate. It aggressively cuts GPU-intensive settings while striving to maintain a playable and coherent visual style.
- Drastically reduces shadow, foliage, and lighting quality for maximum FPS.
- Uses a very low-quality Lumen configuration to retain bounce lighting at a minimal cost.
- Uses the cheapest possible reflection method to prevent the "flat water" issue without a major performance hit.
- Perfect for lower-end GPUs, high-refresh-rate monitors, or anyone who values FPS above all else.
Quick Installation
- Find Your Config Folder
You must use the correct path for your game version.- For the STEAM version, the path is:
%LocalAppData%\Augusta\Saved\Config\WinGRTS - For the XBOX APP / PC GAME PASS version, the path is:
%LocalAppData%\Augusta\Saved\Config\WinGDK
Press the Windows Key + R, paste the correct path for your version, and press Enter. - For the STEAM version, the path is:
- Prepare the INI File
In the folder that opens, look for Engine.ini.- If it's there, open it.
- If it's NOT there, right-click -> New -> Text Document, and rename the new file to Engine.ini (ensure it doesn't save as Engine.ini.txt).
- Copy and Paste
- Open the preset file you downloaded and copy all the text.
- Delete everything inside your Engine.ini and paste the new settings.
- Save and close the file.
- Set to Read-Only (Important!)
Right-click your Engine.ini file -> Properties -> check the "Read-only" box -> OK.
This prevents the game from overwriting the settings.
To uninstall, simply delete the Engine.ini file (the game will create a new default one) or uncheck "Read-only" and restore the default settings in-game.
