Overview
This will show you what to edit and how to turn off the film grain effect, motion blur, lens flares, depth of field, and change to an alternate FOV for wider screen monitors.
Where to find the config file and what sections you need to add
The file you’re looking for should be at:
C:Users[your user name]AppDataLocalStateOfDecay2SavedConfigWindowsNoEditorEngine.ini
In that file, add these three sections:
[/script/engine.renderersettings]
[/script/engine.localplayer]
[SystemSettings]
To turn off lens flare
Under [/script/engine.renderersettings], add this line:
r.DefaultFeature.LensFlare=False
To turn off motion blur
Under [/script/engine.renderersettings], add this line:
r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=False
To turn off depth of field
Under [/script/engine.renderersettings], add these lines:
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
r.DepthOfField.MaxSize=0
To change the FOV to a wider area
Under [/script/engine.localplayer], add this line:
AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV
There’s not much for FOV options, it’s either this one or the default. Personally, I prefer this one.
Turn off the film grain effect
Under [SystemSettings], add these lines:
r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0
r.Tonemapper.Quality=0
A complete Engine.ini
An Engine.ini file with all the above options enabled will look like this:
[Core.System]
Paths=../../../Engine/Content
Paths=%GAMEDIR%Content
Paths=../../../Engine/Plugins/TrueSkyPlugin/Content
Paths=../../../StateOfDecay2/Plugins/Wwise/Content
[WindowsApplication.Accessibility]
StickyKeysHotkey=False
ToggleKeysHotkey=False
FilterKeysHotkey=False
StickyKeysConfirmation=True

FilterKeysConfirmation=True
[/script/hardwarecaps.hardwarecapsconfig]
bHasCheckedMinspec=True
[/script/engine.renderersettings]
r.DefaultFeature.LensFlare=False
r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=False
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
r.DepthOfField.MaxSize=0
[/script/engine.localplayer]
