Default configuration folder
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Siren\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\

Pro tip: To access it, press "WIN + R" and copy/paste the text above.

After tweaking your configuration file, set "Engine.ini" as read-only by right clicking it and going to "Properties"
Enable Raw Mouse Input
For those playing with a KB&M. This disables the mouse acceleration caused in certain scenes & gameplay.

1. Edit the "Input.ini" using a text editor. (e.g. Notepad, Visual Code)
2. Add the following to the file:

[/script/engine.inputsettings] bEnableMouseSmoothing=false
Disabling Bloom & Eye Adaptation
1. Edit the "Engine.ini" using a text editor. (e.g. Notepad, Visual Code)
2. Add the following to the file:

[SystemSettings] r.EyeAdaptationQuality=0 r.BloomQuality=0
Disabling Chromatic Aberration
1. Edit the "Engine.ini" using a text editor. (e.g. Notepad, Visual Code)
2. Add the following to the file:

[SystemSettings] r.SceneColorFringe.Max=0 r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
Disabling Depth of Field
1. Edit the "Engine.ini" using a text editor. (e.g. Notepad, Visual Code)
2. Add the following to the file:

[SystemSettings] r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
Reducing Lens Flares
1. Edit the "Engine.ini" using a text editor. (e.g. Notepad, Visual Code)
2. Add the following to the file:

[SystemSettings] r.LensFlareQuality=0

Note: This effect won't remove all lens flares in the game but it will reduce them.
Pro Tip
Pro Tip: If you just want to reduce lens flares and remove chromatic aberration, just add the following lines without adding "[SystemSettings]"

[SystemSettings] r.LensFlareQuality=0 r.SceneColorFringe.Max=0 r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0

After tweaking your configuration file, set "Engine.ini" as read-only by right clicking it and going to "Properties"

I also turned off motion blur,

[SystemSettings]
r.MotionBlurQuality=0

overall here's what I used


[SystemSettings]
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
r.SceneColorFringe.Max=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=0
r.PostProcessAAQuality=0
r.MotionBlurQuality=0

Then I added -dx12 in the steam launch commands to enable ray tracing

I used the nvidia control panel to override application anti aliasing and enabled 4x AA, because the built in one is bad but turning it off causes a lot of jagged edges, so the nvidia override gave good results.

would be a little early to be using unreal 5 considering this game has been in development longer then the release of unreal 5. Thanks for posting the info to turn off chromatic aberration tho
