Optimizer Uluchazer Config by AIorro - README How to Edit Engine.ini Yourself

This guide shows you how to tweak the Engine.ini file to make Oblivion Remastered run or look the way you want. It’s super simple, even if you’ve never edited a file before! You’ll need a text editor like Notepad (free on Windows).







Find Your Engine.ini





If you installed my mod, it’s already in one of these folders:





Steam/GOG: C:\Users\YourName\Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered\Saved\Config\Windows\Engine.ini



Xbox/Game Pass: C:\Users\YourName\Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered\Saved\Config\WinGDK\Engine.ini



Replace "YourName" with your Windows username.



Open File Explorer, paste the path, and look for Engine.ini.





Open Engine.ini





Right-click Engine.ini and choose "Open with" > "Notepad" (or any text editor).



If it’s set to Read-Only (from installation), right-click Engine.ini, pick Properties, uncheck Read-Only, and click OK.





Make Changes





The file has sections like [Core.System] or [/Script/Engine.RendererSettings].



Look for settings with a number, like r.FilmGrain=0 or PoolSizeVRAMPercentage=60.



Change the number to tweak things. Here are easy examples:





For better performance (faster game):





Set r.BloomQuality=1 (lower bloom effect).



Set r.ShadowQuality=1 (simpler shadows).



Set PoolSizeVRAMPercentage=40 (uses less VRAM, good for 4GB GPUs).



For better visuals (prettier game):





Set r.FilmGrain=1 (adds film grain effect).



Set r.MaxAnisotropy=16 (sharper textures, needs strong GPU).



Set r.BloomQuality=5 (fancier bloom effect).



To turn off Lumen (saves performance):





Find r.Lumen.DiffuseIndirect.Allow=1 and change to 0.



Only change the number after the = sign. Don’t touch the text before it.



Example: Change r.FilmGrain=0 to r.FilmGrain=1.





Save Your Changes





In Notepad, click File > Save.



If you can’t save (file is locked), make sure Read-Only is off (see step 2).





Lock the File Again





Right-click Engine.ini, pick Properties, check Read-Only, and click OK.



This stops the game from resetting your changes.





Test the Game





Launch Oblivion Remastered and play.



If the game crashes or looks weird, undo your changes:





Open Engine.ini again and set the number back.



Or delete Engine.ini (game makes a new one, but you’ll lose my mod tweaks).



Backup your Engine.ini before editing (copy it to another folder).



Tips





Change one setting at a time and test to see what works.



If your PC is slow, lower numbers (like r.BloomQuality=1) help.



If you have a strong PC, higher numbers (like r.MaxAnisotropy=16) look better.



Don’t add new lines or settings unless you know what they do.
