i want a setting with which i can get good graphics without fog and smoke

[Sos_your_face]

Turn settings on max in game. Then in that same file you were editing, make these false:

Bloom
DepthOfField
MotionBlue

That will give you max settings, with everything blurry turned off. That's how I like it too.

Your ini has some really weird settings, but here's the basics:

DepthOfField and DetailMode are the ones that control fog, you already have those set to False and 0 respectively, so you're good to go.

Some side notes:

You should turn Distortion to True, otherwise the Nightshade will be completely invisible.

Turn FloatingPointRenderTargets to True, otherwise all smoke/vehicle damage, Nightshade deployables, and shadows will be invisible to you. This should only be turned off as a last resort to get a really slow video card to play the game.

Turn OneFrameThreadLag to True, this will give you an FPS boost with no visual change to the game. You should also turn Framerate Smoothing off, which is a setting that can only be changed in-game under Settings - Video - Advanced. This also gives you an FPS boost with no change otherwise.

There are some other strange settings you have that don't correspond to one another - are you trying for Max FPS or Max Detail With No Fog? I can help you more if I know that...

thanks for helpin me !!!!


but still u have written detaimode=0
after setting sliders on max
then editing UT engine .ini
the sliders again get set on min !!!!

[Sos_your_face]

When you make changes to the settings manually, the sliders no longer "know" what setting they're supposed to be on (there's no 4.5 ), so they default to 1. Once you start making your own changes, from there on out you have to ignore the sliders. Also, if you make any changes (including resolution I believe) to the video settings in game, then it will reset all graphics settings to where it thinks they're supposed to be. So, once you make .ini changes, make changes only in the .ini.

Making changes using Brad G's "ut3 tweaker" tool is a lot easier.
http://www.brad-g.com/information-on-current-release-and-downloads-f4.html

works with patch 1.2 too.

[Sos_your_face]

Brad G's Tweaker, great tool. However, after using it myself and confirmed by a few others, I can no longer change resolution in game. It crashes UT3.
