Deleting Post Effects on Unreal Engine

Depending on the game a few things can be done.

Unreal Engine 4

  • Motion Blur
  • Depth of Field
  • Chromatic Abberation

Phase 1

  1. Head over to %APPDATA% or %LOCALAPPDATA%

    • Steam

      `"GAME"\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

    • Windows Game Store

      "GAME"\Saved\Config\WinGDK

  2. Open the Engine.ini file and at the bottom of the file. Add:

    [SystemSettings] r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0 r.MotionBlur.Max=0 r.MotionBlurQuality=0 r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=0 r.SceneColorFringe.Max=0 r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0

  3. Save the file and set it to Read Only.

There are other effects you can disable and control here. But, this guide only to get you going.

Keep in mind if you change your setting in game you may need to restart so that this INI can remove the problem Post Effects.

Also understand this may not always work in every instance.
