===Installation===
Navigate to the engine.ini in your appdata folder. It's located here: C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Local\Pal\Saved\Config\Windows
You can press Windows Key + R and enter this command: %localAppData% to get to Appdata\Local if it's hidden.
Download a file from the files tab, extract it and replace the engine.ini in the Windows folder.
===Performance===
1x gets rid of the most obnoxious pop-in like ore veins, boulders and bricks (low-end).
1.5x pushes everything out uniformly. What you would typically see in a console game (balanced).
2x disables almost all pop-in and fade-in visible from the ground at a noticeable performance cost (high-end).
===Custom Engine.ini===
The custom options are what I use. To me they give the most Pokemon/Nintendo vibe. Sharp clean visuals with minimal postprocessing.
You don't need to download and replace your Engine.ini simply copy and paste what you want from the list below into your own Engine.ini.
