About this mod

Only Graphic Settings configs and Advice.
This is an Advice article basically.
For low end cards, 1050 ti and i7 8700 non k 16 gb ram. ssd.

I will Post the values below in Description too for whatever.

Permissions and credits
[ There maybe some repeated stuff, sorry for that ] .
For Random stuff DELTA BROVO ERROR CODES and ReShade Advice for The Division 2 : 
Nexus 
Link >>Article <<.


Before I begin here, some general graphics info for Division 2 :

[https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/tom-clancys-the-division-graphics-and-performance-guide/#tom-clancys-the-division-reflection-quality]

If you're unfamiliar with certain terms, you can ask ChatGPT for explanations.
Create a Free account at [https://chat.openai.com/auth/login] to get assistance.
Or, ask Bing Chat, through Edge browser. Same difference. Maybe better.

To address lag issues, you can try deleting specific folders.
Make sure to turn off the game, game client, and Nvidia panel before trying.

Note that the game may not save the edited config file unless you set it to read-only.
It's uncertain if every new value is being read by the game.
If you have suggestions to resolve that, leave a comment.


Observation: Some custom settings from the Graphic Settings.cfg file will apply.
However, the file keeps resetting to default low settings.

To disable ambient occlusion ( post processed grainy looking shadows )
, add the following definitions to the file:

ssdo = 0
or 
ssdo = -1


Avoid touching the " general settings" slider in game, as it will erase the config file I think.
In game settings only change each individually, leaving the "ambient occlusion slider" at the default low setting.
Save all other settings and start the game.

You will notice that ssdo = 0 or ssdo = -1 have turned off ambient occlusion. 
Does it give extra frames per second? I don't know. 


Open the cfg, copy the contents, and paste them into your normal config file located at
"C:\Users\MYPC\Documents\My Games\Tom Clancy's The Division 2\graphic settings.cfg".

Save the file. Set the cfg file to read-only. Hopefully that will retain any edits you make. Maybe.


You can try to change the game resolutions and window settings to get a FPS boost,
Opening Nvidia Control Panel. Go to Manage 3D Settings >
Global Settings and enable Image Scaling (may not be necessary). Save the settings.

Next, launch the game and go to the Video settings tab.

Set the game to "Windowed" mode and enter a resolution of 1680 x 1050 to start with.
You can adjust the in-game resolution slider to match your monitor's resolution for further testing.
Keep the game in windowed mode or use full screen with the resolution.



If you find a setting you want to change, then turn Off Read Only,
then enter that new value, then save: then set Read Only back to ON. 
If you Lost the 60 FPS you first had when using this file;
Start from scratch and leave as is, or investigate any changes you want over again from the start.


NOTE :  Right-click on the Graphic Settings.cfg and under "Properties" set to "Read Only".
Because if the game crashes or restarts, sometimes it will erase the cfg file and return it to the default values.
 If that happens start over again as described. Mess with the values, and if you like something, save a backup copy ,
set that file to "read only"  if you want to preserve that file. Turn off, read only, if you want to edit it again.


"C:\Users\MYPC\Documents\My Games\Tom Clancy's The Division 2\graphic settings.cfg"
[[ OR make  Dev.cfg file. and use that instead. ]]
(this cfg wont appear yet unless game has ran at least once before.)
Just copy past everything below into your Graphic Settings file for division 2. 
Then save.   For a Option in this list to take affect it needs = between it and the value.
 [ Some values are experimental and may not do anything. Still needs more testing ]

-----------------------------------------------------
If you're experiencing stuttering on a 1050 ti,
you can try the following steps:

Uninstall the GPU driver using DDU v18.0.6.1.exe
(or the latest version from
 https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html
Avoid using ( do not use ) "safe-mode"  as it will suggest.
Because it may cause problems...


Install this version of the GPU driver: 522.30-desktop-win10-win11-64bit-international-nsd-dch-whql.exe
(the studio version, but without Nvidia Experience). Or the version you deem best for you.

Make sure your pc's integrated graphics diver is installed. Its a back up display driver.
And you have downloaded the Nvidia driver first for the graphics card you have installed.
Be sure you actually have a graphics card. If not, then dont follow all of these steps.


If you have certain of these folders, consider deleting them.
The locations for old and recent Nvidia/Windows shader and compute paths are as follows:

GLCache,
DXCache,
ComputeCache​,
D3DSCache,
ShaderCache,
NV_Cache.
ShaderByteCode
  • %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Tom Clancy's The Division 2\ShaderByteCode
  • %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Tom Clancy's The Division 2\ShaderCache

The locations may vary:
You can use the Everything search engine tool (https://www.voidtools.com/)
to help you find and delete these folders. When installing, choose the Search "service" option. 


After deleting these folders, it's important to run the game repair and verify files option in the Ubisoft or game client.
Then the game should run at higher settings. And begin to load things. That gives you a clean slate to see what if any changes are made, with editing the cfg graphics settings file .

Deleting these folders carries little to no risk, even if they are associated with other programs.
It's worth trying if you're experiencing major issues with your 1050 ti.

In the Windows search bar, type "%userprofile%" and press Enter.
Search for anything related to the game, and delete those files.
Similarly, type %localappdata% in the search bar, search for related files,
and delete them.

Don't delete everything in the: "%userprofile%" and %localappdata%". Because it has other files for other software you installed thats important. Just do the video game stuff.

In Windows 10, type "cleanup" in the search bar and press Enter to see if a Disk Cleanup menu appears.
Use its options to clean up unnecessary files.

Some files wont delete, if they are being used or have permission locks. There are software that can bypass that, allowing deletion. Like Unlocker. But I can't say if those are safe to use. I use a old copy of Unlocker.
