Disable Motion Blur & TAA
By Druark
Engine.ini settings to disable the Motion blur and optionally the Temporal Anti Aliasing feature, both of which can be hard to look at for some players on top of subjectively harming the visuals.

These will work for all Unreal Engine 4 or 5 games.

Disabling Motion Blur
Navigate to %localappdata%\TheCrust\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Engine.ini

Once you've opened the file in your preferred text editor (I recommend Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code), you'll then need to add the following section to the bottom of the file:
[SystemSettings] r.MotionBlur.Max=0 r.MotionBlurQuality=0 r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=0

Disabling Temporal Anti Aliasing
Within the Engine.ini file mentioned above, add the following:

Note: You do NOT need to add [SystemSettings] again if it already exists, just add the new lines.
[SystemSettings] r.PostProcessAAQuality=0

If you wish to disable all of the Anti aliasing completely, you can also add this line:
r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=0

Disabling Extra Post Processing Effects
If you want to disable any of the extra Post Processing effects you can also add the following:

Note: You do NOT need to add [SystemSettings] again if it already exists, just add the new lines.
[SystemSettings] r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0 r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0 r.LensFlareQuality=0 r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0

In order, these disable the following:
Film Grain
Depth of Field
Lens Flares
Chromatic Abberation (Rainbow effect around edges)

These extra settings are not all used in this game as far as I know but I'm leaving this info here in case this changes in the future or in the event I just haven't noticed them yet.

Disabling All of Them
I suggest you try with as few things disabled as possible otherwise you can affect the image quality significantly. The below options disable the Motion Blur and Depth of Field.

Navigate to %localappdata%\TheCrust\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Engine.ini

Once you've opened the file in your preferred text editor, add the following section at the bottom:
[SystemSettings] r.MotionBlur.Max=0 r.MotionBlurQuality=0 r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=0 r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0

If you want to disable all of them, Below disables Motion Blur, DOF, TAA and the extras.
As before, put at the bottom of the engine.ini file linked above.
[SystemSettings] r.MotionBlur.Max=0 r.MotionBlurQuality=0 r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=0 r.PostProcessAAQuality=0 r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0 r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0 r.LensFlareQuality=0 r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0

@Cmdo.Delta Glad It helps, thanks for the link back!

I made a guide inspired by your in the Sugar Shack game because this game is soooo blurry that it's painful to play and the devs don't give the options in game. I put a mention of your name and a link to this guide so people can come and thank you personally for making Sugar Shack playable without feeling dizzy and nauseous ahah.

Thanks again for the very in depth guide, i'll favorite it. I know it'll be helpful for other games too. You're a real master!

Sorry I wouldnt know, deck runs on their own version of Linux IIRC which has a different location for the ini file, but it will exist somewhere.
Check PCGamingWiki? as it may list Linux locations.

You can see everything being disabled in the guide. Just change whichever ones you've used from here, back to a 1 instead of a 0 if you want to make 100% sure they're re-enabled.

Actually, it looks like your game settings are tied to your save file itself. You can verify this by completely deleting your config files and loading the game back up. Additionally, there was a post on social recently where square enix said you will return to your settings when you load a save file, I forget what exactly it was about, but it confirmed this as well.

You can just remove the settings from the file, they will then use whatever the game sets them to by default.
Turik 26 Jan @ 2:43pm 
Any idea what the defaults are to re-enable these?

Turning off settings via this guide won't lower your FPS, if you have a technical issue you should make a thread on the forum about it so the Dev's can see and/or help.
