CODE VEIN: Better Visuals Via Engine Scalability

• Textures will appear to have a “shimmering” effect. This is simply because we are forcing the max resolution option for the texture. It’s not actually shimmering, there is just too much detail. This effect may be able to be reduced with further tweaking.
• Performance will be degraded drastically, especially if your GPU has a low amount of memory. On my 2080, I go from the 240 fps cap to 150.

Replace it with this:

Doesn’t seem to be used, but if it is, make it very nice foliage.DensityScale=8.0 grass.DensityScale=8.0 r.ViewFoliageDistance=800000.0

This works on the “Highest” options
