About this mod
This simple edit will provide you higher fidelity shadows and reflections, at the cost of some performance.
- Permissions and credits
I began playing Prey again recently and found that while the game has aged gracefully, it still suffers from atrocious shadows, both up close and distant. Given that the game uses CryEngine, I started adding some known modifiers into the game.ini file to improve shadows and reflections. There are no downloads, you simply go to your [user]/Saved Games/Arkane Studios/Prey folder, open game.cfg and add the following lines to it.
