Overview
U+ for Lords of the Fallen dramatically improves visuals through enabling shadow casting, removing egregious amounts of sharpening, and providing many other enhancements and options to customize graphics.
Important Information
Requires disable EAC script to launch the game: Download from Nexus
Game Tips
- Certain areas of the game will have performance drops with LetThereBeShadows add on due to the density of lights (such as lots of small candles)
Add-ons
- LetThereBeShadows: Enables shadow casting on the majority of lights in the game. WARNING - expensive
Configuration
| Setting | Options | Keybind | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| AutoApplyConfig | off,on | automatically reload settings when config changes - primarily to be used with the UPM overlay | |
| BetterReflectionSDFs | game,off,on,on_epic | Increases the resolution of meshes in global software lumen space, most noticeable in reflections | |
| ChromaticAberration | game,off,on | Recommend disabling in most games as it often just blurs the image for no benefit | |
| DLSSAutoExposure | game,off,on | Toggles DLSS Autoexposure (a DLSS feature) in most games this should be on, but some games like Stalker2 can have artifacts with it on | |
| DLSSFrameGeneration | game,off,on | force enable FG regardless of other settings, FG not appearing for people is a common issue I think | |
| DepthOfField | game,off,on,on_less_blurry | depth of field control - off reduces noise in cutscenes | |
| DynamicFPS | game/0-240 | Target FPS for dynamic adjustment (0 = off, 30-240 = target framerate) - press ALT + F12 to disable dynamic FPS and save current settings | |
| EnableKeybinds | off,on | Enables individual setting keybinds if they are available, does not change global keybinds | |
| ExtendedFogQuality | game,epic,ultra,insane | extended volumetric fog quality settings | |
| ExtendedShadowQuality | game,epic,insane | epic matches in-game epic, insane is higher quality | |
| FilmGrain | game,off,on | film grain effect control | |
| Fog | game,off,on,on_with_lumen | Turns fog on or off, if on_with_lumen is provided then it allows enabling fog in lumen space (GI and reflections) | |
| HighQualityTracing | game,off,on | CTRL+F8 | More accurate tracing of meshes for reflections and global illumination |
| LODBias | game,off,minuspoint5,minus1,minus1point5,minus2 | Forces textures to be higher resolution, -0.5 is the safest, more can cause frequency patterns to appear, some games benefit from more than others | |
| LODDistanceScale | game,high,veryhigh,epic,ultra,insane | Draw static meshes and foliage at higher quality further away | |
| LightingAO | lumen,lumen_less_noise,ssao,gtao | F7 | Changes ambient occlusion method between Lumen, SSAO, or GTAO - lumen_less_noise is the safest default as full lumen may introduce shimmering/noise |
| LightingMode | game,standard,advanced | F8 | lighting mode - standard for default enhanced lighting, advanced for higher quality - game will disable and revert all lighting changes |
| LightingNoiseQuality | game,standard,high,veryhigh,epic,insane | Higher noise quality reduces noise at the cost of performance, but costs less than increasing lighting quality | |
| LightingQuality | game,standard,high,veryhigh,epic,insane | CTRL+F10 | Standard lighting quality is the recommended default, higher lighting qualities will reduce noise and increase the detail of lighting in the scene particularly around smaller object |
| LightingResolution | low,medium,mediumhigh,high,veryhigh,epic,insane,extreme | F6 | lighting resolution quality - higher quality is more accurate lighting at the cost of performance - standard in-game epic (the same as epic in this setting) is typically x16 downsampling which is usually not necessary, medium (x32) is the minimum recommended |
| LightingUpdateSpeed | default,high,epic,insane | Allows making global illumination update faster | |
| LumenDiffuseColorBoost | game/0-5 | Increases diffuse lighting especially from local lights | |
| LumenTraceDistance | game/20000-60000 | Maximum distance of objects traced in the lumen scene | |
| MotionBlur | game/0-1 | U+ improves motion blur quality in every game by default, recommend a small amount of blur ~0.2 | |
| PPVSharpening | game,off,on | off disables built in sharpening filter | |
| PostProcessingTonemapperPreset | game,vanilla,morecontrast | CTRL+F6 | more_contrast setting can add more depth to the scene |
| ReduceInputLatency | game,off,on | reduce input latency at potential FPS cost if not GPU bound | |
| ReflectionBias | game/0-1 | F9 | Adds smoothing to reflections to make them more mirror like, a small amount is usually beneficial |
| ReflectionQuality | game,high,veryhigh,epic,insane | F10 | Allows more surfaces to be included in reflections, in some games increasing this can cause some noise |
| Sharpness | game/0-1 | Control UE tonemapper sharpness - recommend setting this to 0 and using RCAS through reshade | |
| SkylightIntensity | game/0-3 | Skylight is a flat amount of light added to the scene, it mostly effects outdoors unless a game uses it to light interiors | |
| SkylightLeaking | game/0-1 | CTRL+F2 | How much of the skylight is allowed to leak into indoors or occluded areas |
| ViewDistanceScale | game,one,two,three,four | increases view distance scale, affects foliage most noticeably | |
| Vignette | game,off,on | F3 | vignette effect control |
| VirtualShadows | game,off,on | Enables UE5 virtual shadow maps which are higher quality | |
| VolumetricFog | game,off,on,on_disable_emissive | F5 | Turns volumetric fog on or off, if on_disable_emissive is provided - it disables the emissive component of fog which can cause fog to be overly intense and washed out |
