Disables shadows particles fog etc to boost performance. Divided into three files to customize your experience. Includes some notes if you want to edit the file yourself.
Screenshots are on lowest settings on 1080p borderless.
Potato full:
Lowers LODs, disables shadows, global illumination, volumetric fog, particles, effects, smoke, world/geometry detail decals and on-screen effects like the on-screen effects when psyker is casting abilities and the blood splatters.
Potato lite:
Same as potato full but with world/geometry detail decals, particles, effects, smoke and on-screen effects enabled.
Potato shadows:
Same as Potato lite but some shadows are enabled.
notes.txt:
A text file with some notes on what each setting does. You can use it as a reference to make whatever edits you want. Recommended to take a look in case you want to go lower or customize lods, particles, shadows, shadow resolution.
Installation:
Important notes:
I've noticed that the game drops FPS whenever I'm changing the settings when in-game but relaunching it fixes it. Seems like the game is bugged because it is happening on the vanilla game as well. Sometimes I need to relaunch the game multiple times for fsr to even work.
If you didn't make a backup just delete user_settings.config and launch the game. It will generate a new one.
Making your own edits:
Download the Notes.txt file to use as a reference. Open your user_settings.config with a text editor like the default windows one or Notepad++ and make whatever changes you want.

- Launch the game.
- When you're in the main menu go into the settings menu and set your resolution and fsr settings to whatever you want and then relaunch the game.
