Balanced Graphics Preset for 6GB GPUs
This is my custom configuration, initially optimized for the RTX 4050 Mobile 6GB. I use it in combination with HIGH quality preset + DLSS (Quality) + Frame Generation. VSync and Motion Blur are DISABLED.
Installation Instructions
Copy the provided .ini settings into your (Steam) game's config folder %localappdata%\11bitstudios\TheAlters\Steam\Saved\Config\Windows
Overwrite when asked ➔ Only one optimization file should be active at a time.
Make sure to Right-click on the new file ➔ Properties ➔ Set Read-Only ➔ Apply before launching the game
Main Features
Anti-Aliasing: TAA settings for stable, clean visuals
Upscaling: DLSS/FS3 supported with optimized sharpness and auto exposure
Shadows: Cascaded shadow maps with tuned bias, fade distance, and caching
Texture Streaming: 3.5GB pool, virtual textures, deferred locking, and threaded streaming
Lumen: software-based GI and reflections with multiple optimizations
Nanite: Fully enabled with proper streaming limits.
Volumetrics: Reduced intensity and scattering for balanced atmospheric effects
Async Compute: Enabled for shadows, fog, lighting, and translucency operations
Distance Scaling: Optimized LOD and view distance for stable long-range visuals
I focused on impactful settings rather than micro-optimizations, avoiding redundancy and configuration bloat. The script is maintainable and easy to understand, and it doesn't suffer from the "more is better" syndrome by enabling every parallel processing flag and optimization available, most of which offer no real-world benefit and can even cause game crashes.
To uninstall, simply delete the provided Engine.ini file. The game will revert to its default settings the next time it is launched.
