High quality on Hands and Weapons only?

(jollyRacer) #1

Does anyone here knows how to set High quality on my merc’s Hands and Weapons only?

I can’t turn the High quality on as it drops my FPS badly with everything being shiny. (I don’t need my merc or opponent’s merc to be high quality - just my own guns)
I just want to make sure that my cobalt loadouts are looking like they should ( Full cyan or Fragment.)
What I’m having now without High Quality Materials on - are grey guns with sprinkle of blue on it.
I’ve seen a number of threads on reddit regarding this but there hasn’t been any solutions. Any players or devs know how to get around this?

Many, many thanks!

I don’t think you can split the setting to only work on certain properties.

You’re not the first to ask this. I guess there should be a graphics preset called “Potato except my shiny precious Cobalts” :slight_smile:

I think I can get behind this.

Maybe in a few years we may have this option!

IIRC the devs stated they are working on a preset to help low end PCs. Perhaps they will do this with the low setting specialization.

Not possible without ‘bAllowHighQualityMaterials=True’

In advanced option you have character detail, put it on low and put HQ materials on.
Here you go shiny weapons and bad looking ennemies

This may work, find those lines in ShooterEngine.ini. You can go higher, just double it every time you want to bump it up. 512/1024 is pretty solid though.

Guys thank you for giving me advice but I’ve tried everything and it just doesn’t seem to work.

@LifeupOmega I’ve tried the config buddy, sadly it doesn’t seem to work for cobalt weapons :frowning:

This is really vexing because I can at least see the design on Gold loadouts but grey guns with dust sprinkled on it are found on my Cobalt loadouts. I really do hope they resolve this for potato setups like mine for us to properly enjoy the cobalt gun skins

@AnonOmis1000 Is it confirmed that they’re aware of this vexing issue with low end pcs?

You set it to Read Only and everything? Huh

@Jesus it still is a hit on performance as it effects all textures in game. I have the minimal preset, getting 60 fps on my laptop. I put on HQ materials and it dropped to 40.

(Jesus) #12

well 40 fps isnt so bad for a potatoe. other than that. Upgrade your CPU

(AnonOmis1000) #13

Easier said than done on a laptop. And I can’t play at lower than 60fps. Besides, that 60 is when not much is going on. When I get in the thick of it that number tanks.

Need an answer for this too. I use a config that makes my weapons grey/flat even with hq materials on.
