Scalability fixes - Optimize clarity

⚠️ Please do not turn all settings to the highest! This mod is designed for fine tuning - blindly setting all options to "best" will hurt performance. Adjust each option to your system and preferences for the best experience.

Scalability Fix - Optimized Clarity

✨ Core optimization suggestions

**TL;DR Optimized Settings (No Switch Option Version)**

• **Overall Quality**: Set to **High**
• **Vegetation Quality**: Set to **Low**

**Note**: Static screenshots can only show the effect of TAA under the best circumstances. The original game has the typical TAA blur problem during movement. This mod has significantly improved this, but it is still not perfect compared to turning off TAA directly.

❓ Native rendering is a thing of the past

As of **1.3 patch**, the game's internal resolution scaling mechanism has become misleading. While the slider still exists, it only selects from fixed resolution targets, making true 100% native rendering no longer possible.

**Actual resolution value used (taking 1440p as an example)**:

• **100%** – 2560×1440 (100% of 1440p) — *Native (deprecated)*
• **67–100%** – 1716×965 (67% of 1440p) — *Quality*
• **59–66%** – 1485×836 (58% of 1440p) — *Balanced*
• **31–58%** – 1280×720 (50% of 1440p) — *Performance*
• **25–30%** – 853×480 (33% of 1440p) — *Ultimate Performance*

**Technical Details**: Upon further investigation, this "fixed" behavior appears to only occur when using DLSS. Both FSR and TSR provide fine control over the `r.ScreenPercentage` value.

| Supersampling Method | Sharpness Slider | AA Method |

|:--- |:--- |:--- |

| DLSS | `r.NIS.Sharpness` | TAA (`r.AntialiasingMethod=2`) |

| TSR | `r.NIS.Sharpness` | TSR (`r.AntialiasingMethod=4`) |

| FSR | `r.FidelityFX.FSR3.Sharpness` | TSR (`r.AntialiasingMethod=4`) |

*Note: At 1440p resolution, the game limits resolution scaling to 59.0-66.0% when using a 3090 graphics card. * 😅

**Map popping** is a noticeable problem, especially with objects like cloth or fallen leaves on the ground - even at the highest settings. This mod aims to solve these problems with minimal performance loss.

🎯 Anti-aliasing quality

| AA quality | No switching option | UE4 | UE5 |

|:--- |:--- |:--- |:--- |

| Low | FXAA | Fuzzy TAA (Stable) | Fuzzy TSR (Stable) |

| Medium | TAA | Sharp TAA (slight jitter) | Sharp TSR (slight jitter) |

| High | TSR | Sharpest TAA (obvious jitter) | Sharpest TSR (obvious jitter) |

**Native Resolution Return**: Native resolution can now be adjusted manually, but must be reset every time the game is launched, as the game resets the resolution settings on launch (mods are now available to restore the old behavior). Otherwise, the resolution "slider" remains in effect.

• If TAA is turned off, contact shadows will be disabled to reduce visual noise.
• *Optimized based on Hybrid's UE Optimization Guide. *

⚙️ Post-processing

Motion blur now looks good, if you want to use it for some reason.

• **Low** – turns off glow
• **Medium** – slight depth of field/glow/ambient occlusion adjustments
• **HIGH** – Full resolution glow, lens flare and depth of field

🌑Shadow quality

| Shadow quality | No toggle option | UE4 | UE5 |

|:--- |:--- |:--- |:--- |

| Low | 1024x, 0.5d | 1024x, 0.5d | VSM 0x |

| Medium | 1536x, 0.75d | 1536x, 0.75d | VSM 2x |

| High | VSM 0x | 2048x, 1.0d | VSM 4x |

| Extra high | VSM 8x | 3072x, 1.5d | VSM 8x |

| Extreme | VSM 16X | 4096x, 2.0d | VSM 16x |

✨ Special effects quality

Enable screen space reflections at all levels. Moved Subsurface Scattering settings out of Shadow Quality.

👁️ Sight distance

Now controls the draw distance of some glowing objects.

🖼️ Texture quality

This mainly adjusts VRAM limits and anisotropic filtering.

🌿 Vegetation quality

Fixed issue with textures popping up by forcing `foliage.MinimumScreenSize = 0` in all settings.

• **Low** – Default vegetatio …
