How to fix bloom, tint, blur, fog and other graphical effects in RuneScape Dragonwilds

If you are also tired of the orange tint, bloom effect that can literally blind you and other such graphical effects in RuneScape Dragonwilds, I’ve got a fix for you.

Ever since RuneScape Dragonwilds’s early access was shadow dropped, I’ve been playing the game non-stop and covering side quest walkthroughs and other guides.

And during that, I noticed that the excessive bloom, motion blur and the orange tint along with other graphical effects are just way to excessive.

They are not balanced at all. At least for now.

Moreover, since there is no detailed video settings currently available in the game, turning these graphical effects off or adjusting them is just not possible through in-game.

But, as always, you can manually do it by altering the game’s Engine file.

So, all of you who are struggling with the different graphical effects in RuneScape Dragonwilds, here’s my guide on fixing it.

How to fix excessive graphical effects in RuneScape Dragonwilds

You can fix the excessive graphical effects issue in the game by manually editing the Engine.INI file and setting the attribute values to 0 or 1 based on your requirement.

As I mentioned earlier, currently, RuneScape Dragonwilds doesn’t offer detail video quality settings menu where you can make changes.

So, head to the following path:

C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Local\RSDragonwilds\Saved\Config\Windows

If you are on Steam Deck, here's the path where you will find the Engine.INI file: /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1374490/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/RSDragonwilds/Saved/Config/Windows

Thanks to Reddit user National_Peace_5047 for pointing it out!

Once you are there, select and open the Engine file using any text editor.

For example, you can use Notepad, Notepad++ or any that you prefer.

After that, you must add the following code at the bottom of the file:

[/Script/Engine.RendererSettings]
r.LumenScene.SurfaceCache.AtlasSize=4096
r.Upscale.Quality=0
r.Upscale.Softness=0
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=0.5
r.TextureStreaming=0
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
r.BloomQuality=0
r.FilmGrain=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.DisableDistortion=1
r.Tonemapper.Quality=0
r.LensFlareQuality=0
r.Fog=0
r.VolumetricFog=0
r.MotionBlur=0
r.MotionBlurQuality=0
r.MotionBlur.Max=0
r.MotionBlurSeparable=0
r.MotionBlur.Amount=0

After that, save the file, set it to read only and start the game.

Doing so, you can manually diasable graphical effects like motion blur, fog, film grain, etc.

If you want to keep motion blur or any other setting and only want to disable a few, just remove their code from the file and you will be good to go.

If you are confused about any step, keep reading as I have shared every single step below with screenshots.
