PEAK Visuals

PEAK Visuals

Do you wish you could make PEAK look even more... peak? Well have I got the solution for you

Introducing, "PEAK Visuals", a client-side mod for PEAK which unlocks better graphics options for PEAK!

• Did you know? You can get help from myself via my Discord server!

Features:

• Adds the ability to run at higher than native render scales (supersampling)
• Adds antialiasing options including the option to disable TAA and enable MSAA
• Allows for granular choices over resolution scale, shadow settings, upscaling and LOD quality
• Adds DLSS with configurable presets!! For DLSS you need UpscaleLib and to open the game in DX12/11 mode - Vulkan does not work

The default configuration aims to be a balance between high quality, clarity and performance.

To this end in the default configuration:

• TAA is disabled (to reduce blur) and it is replaced with MSAA + SMAA.
• Shadowmap Resolution is raised to 4096, shadow distance to 300 (100 higher than default "High"), and shadow cascades are set to 4 - this should work together to stop shadows being wobbly
• Anisotropic Filtering is set to ON, this option makes textures render more correctly at angles, which increases clarity but I did also notice it makes some of the surfaces have more visible textures (like rock cracks, etc) on them. I think it looks fine, but you can try it on and off.
• LOD Quality is increased from PEAK's 1.0 to 2.5
• Render Scale is left at 1.0, increasing it even a little bit (e.g. 1.2x) can improve distant objects a lot but it does effect framerate a lot!
• This can be configured entirely by you in game using the F11 menu, equally, the main menu is rendered in real time so you can test it there too

Configuration

• You can open the in game mod menu with F11 - all options can be changed here.
• The mod menu's keybind can be changed both in the menu and from the configuration file
• Configuration can be found at: (steam directory)\PEAK\BepInEx\config\com.github.glarmer.PEAK_Visuals.cfg
• Every single option can be configured and is explained in detail within the configuration file.
• These options will effect performance in some way, high values of Render Scale in particular can reduce FPS.
• The settings in this mod will override the settings from the PEAK Graphics settings, these settings include the shadow settings, world quality settings (LOD), and render scale settings.
