An Engine.ini adjustment file for the UE5 engine, which can improve the game frame rate

Silent Hill f Potato Tweak

🎮 **A UE5 engine performance optimization adjustment file specially designed for "Silent Hill f"**

✨ Main functions

By carefully adjusting the UE5 engine configuration file, the game frame rate performance is significantly improved, allowing low-end computers to run the game smoothly!

📁 Installation method (simple version)

  • **Extract files**: Extract the `Engine.ini` file to the following directory:

`%LOCALAPPDATA%\SHf\Saved\Config\Windows\`

  • **Optional step** (recommended):

Also copy the files to:

`%LOCALAPPDATA%\SHf\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\`

  • **Set read-only attribute**:

Right-click on each `Engine.ini` file → Properties → Check the "Read-only" option to prevent the settings from being overwritten when the game starts

  • **Start the game**:

If the game resets or overwrites the settings, try putting the file into the `WindowsNoEditor` folder and reapplying the read-only attribute

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE

  • **Unlock Framerate**: Edit `GameUserSettings.ini` and set `FrameRateLimit=0` (or use in-game framerate limit)
  • **Best Display Settings**: Use "Exclusive Full Screen" mode for best frame sync, if using a VRR monitor (G-Sync/FreeSync) please turn off vertical sync
  • **Resolution Settings**: Do not set `ScreenPercentage` below 100. If you need to improve performance, please use an upsampler (TSR/DLSS/FSR)
  • **UPDATE NOTE**: Settings may need to be reapplied after game updates

🔧 Troubleshooting

  • **File Overwritten**: Make sure the read-only attribute is set
  • **Geometry Flashing**: Reduce `r.TSR.Sharpness` to `0.8` or increase `r.TemporalAA.FilterSize` to `1.0`
  • **Map loading lag**: Increase `s.IoDispatcherBufferMemoryMB` (if set to `96`) and `r.Streaming.MaxTempMemoryAllowed` to `150`

---

💡 **Usage Recommendations**: It is recommended to restart the game after applying this optimization for best results!

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
