WHAT'S NEW

Initial release.


WHAT THE MOD DOES

WOW Easy Ini Customizer makes it simple to replace the game's Engine.ini file with one that has your own ini tweaks to improve performance or enhance shaders, graphics and other visual effects or The Outer Worlds game.


WHAT IT DOESN'T DO

WOW Easy Ini Customizer doesn't provide the ini settings for you. These you may find online. One such source is on the website for the makers of Unreal Engine 4, the game engine used by The Outer Worlds, which you may view at this link: UE4 Scalability Reference


WHAT TO EXPECT

After editing the included Engine.ini file, saving it, running the included batch file (see, "Installing the Mod") and launching the game, your customized tweaks should immediately change the performance or visual quality of the game. To improve performance, lower some of the quality settings. To enhance the quality of the textures, shaders and other visual effects, increase the quality settings of the Engine.ini file.


FILES INCLUDED WITH THE MOD

• Engine.mod.ini - The ini file you edit, which the batch file will install to replace the game's current Engine.ini file.
• RunMe.bat - The batch file that installs Engine.mod.ini file, renames it and sets the read-only attribute so the game won't overwrite it.
• ReadMet.txt - Document containing installation instructions and info about the mod.
  

INSTALLING THE MOD

• There's no need to remove, rename or change the read-only attribute of the Engin.ini file.
• Copy "wow-ini-customizer-version-1-1.zip" to your computer desktop.
• If The Outer Worlds is running, exit the game.
• Right-click the .zip file and select the option to unpack the files to your desktop.
• Open the folder for your type of game (either, "Epic Launcher Version" or "Windows Store Version").
• Open the Engine.mod.ini file in your favorite text editor (I use the free Notepad++ editor).
• Add your ini tweaks *below* the text [SystemSettings] (do *not* add or change any text above it).
• Make sure each tweak you add is on it's own line (press Enter after each  one).
• To disable a tweak without deleting it, simply add a semicolon (;) at the beginning of it to "comment it out".
• Save your changes to the Engine.mod.ini file.
• Right-click "RunMe.bat" in the same folder as the Engine.mod.ini file and select, "Run as Administrator".
• Follow the prompts that appear in the command windows.
• That's it! In the WindowsNoEditor folder will be four files:
  

* Engine.ini: The .ini file with your added tweaks, which is installed by this mod and now set to read-only so the game won't overwrite it.
* Engine_[date]_[time].ini: A backup of the previous Engine.ini (where [date] is the current date and [time] is in the current time).


INFO FOR GEEKS LIKE ME - HOW THE BATCH FILE WORKS

When you run the RunMe.bat file, these commands are executed:

• xcopy /R /Y Engine.mod.ini [PathToGameFolder] (copies Engine.mod.ini to the game folder)
• attrib -R [PathToGameFolder]\Engine.ini (removes the read-only attribute from the current Engine.ini file)
• ren "[PathToGameFolder]\Engine.ini" "Engine_%date:~-4,4%-%date:~-10,2%-%date:~-7,2%_%time:~0,2%-%time:~3,2%-%time:~6,2%.ini"
  
  (renames the current Engine.ini file as a backup)
• ren [PathToGameFolder]\Engine.mod.ini Engine.ini (renames the new file as Engine.ini)
• attrib +R [PathToGameFolder]\Engine.ini (adds the read-only attribute to the new Engine.ini file).
