Daylight is the first title powered by Unreal Engine 4 and since Atlus has not provided us with a review code, our Performance Analysis may be delayed. In completely unrelated note, EA has sent us a review code for Titanfall, so expect an analysis once the Nvidia patch gets out.
Our reader ‘Dirty Dan’ has informed us about some ‘hidden’ tweaks that PC gamers can apply to this title. PC gamers can disable Chromatic Aberration (thank God), remove the Film Grain effect, tweak FOV and completely remove the Motion Blur.
In order to do the aforementioned changes, all you have to do is follow this guide:
Go To [install]\Daylight\Engine\Config
open up ConsoleVariables.ini
Chromatic Abboration:
change r.scenefringe to 0.0Image Grain:
set to 0.0Motion Blur:
set to 0SceneColor:
set to 0FOV:
in Engine\Config\BaseInputlocate the GeneralBindings section and relace with this:
— General bindings
+ExecBindings=(Key=Pause,Command=”Pause”)
+ExecBindings=(Key=F11,Command=”LevelEditor.ToggleImmersive”)
+ExecBindings=(Key=F11,Command=”MainFrame.ToggleFullscreen”,Shift=True)
+ExecBindings=(Key=B,Command=”ToggleSpeaking true | OnRelease ToggleSpeaking false”)
+ExecBindings=(Key=F1,Command=”ShowMouseCursor”,Shift=True)
+ExecBindings=(Key=F1,Command=”viewmode wireframe”, bIgnoreShift=True)
+ExecBindings=(Key=F2,Command=”viewmode unlit”)
+ExecBindings=(Key=F3,Command=”viewmode lit”)
+ExecBindings=(Key=F4,Command=”viewmode detaillighting”)
+ExecBindings=(Key=F5,Command=”viewmode shadercomplexity”)
+ExecBindings=(Key=F9,Command=”shot”)
+ExecBindings=(Key=Period,Command=”RECOMPILESHADERS CHANGED”,Control=True,Shift=True)
+ExecBindings=(Key=Comma,Command=”PROFILEGPU”,Control=True,Shift=True)
+ExecBindings=(Key=Escape,Command=”CloseEditorViewport”)
+ExecBindings=(Key=Enter,Command=”TOGGLE_FULLSCREEN”,Alt=True)
+ExecBindings=(Key=F10,Command=”FOV 100″,Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)change the FOV number to whatever you choose
And if you find this guide too complicated, you can go ahead and download this file and extract the fixed (found in those two folders) to Daylight’s main folder.
Dirty Dan has also shared with as a SweetFX mod from Omnipotus that sharpens up the image.

Why is it getting so many bad scores?
Judging by its price alone, I never expected something that could even barely blow my mind.
Daylight has the same problems Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs had: short length, predictable story, extremely linear,lacks exploration and meaningful survival mechanics, and the worse of it all: atmosphere ruined by constant pausing to read notes, tons of notes.
Finished the game in just over 3 hours and the story was kind of generic no offence to Jessica Chobot.
Looks like Ms. Chobot after all does not have the talent to write a good story….atleast that is what most reviews are implying!
Anyone else have this weird burning feeling with their ears?! 😀
Dirty Dan’s the man, he was busy testing out all these settings as I was crafting a preset, once he told me the good news and I applied said settings, the game really started to look good, a lil fine tuning with SweetFX and voila 😛
Always fun to fix stuff the devs wont patch and refuse to present as an option haha. The tweaks and SweetFX let me play it without screaming and puking at my TV Exorcist style haha

Its funny how review sites tend to follow each others scores like they did with Gone Home, which was barely even a game yet managed to bag really high review scores because of its gay story.
Maybe Daylight didnt have enough notes written by lesbians in it?
Gone Home was undoubtly overrated, but at least there’re non-linear exploration, an immersive atmosphere and a compelling mystery to solve.
Unfortunatelly Daylight doesn’t have any saving graces.
So now you are going to decide what other people should enjoy as a game? Gone Home was one of the best games I played last year. It was a much better and refreshing experience than playing something like BF4 or CoD single-player which you would call a ‘game’. Dear Esther and The Walking Dead series provide a similar experience and they are highly acclaimed too.
No, I am going to decide what I didnt enjoy as a game, just like my post suggests…
Learn to read. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean that everyone else should too. Accusing review sites to copy each other’s scores in Gone Home is based on your bias and nothing else. The game is great maybe you have a problem with lesbians.
-Nowhere in my comment did I say anything to suggest that i am going to decide what other people should play. Think about that before YOU advise anyone to learn how to read and accuse them of things that arent true when its obvious you lack reading comprehension. I have no problem with lesbians, but there you go with your assumptions again.
I have a different opinion to you, grow up and get over it.
Yes you did. You are disregarding the reviews and forcing your opinion that the game is ‘gay’. It is obvious you are not mature enough to enjoy such games. It is YOU who needs to grow up.
exactly i didnt decide that people should not enjoy resident evil 6 like the so called critics did. I enjoyed it as a shooter, but the ratings this game gets and the ratings gone home get are pretty supsicious, I mean 4.5 and 9 are you on crack? It is like they dont keep in mind how much GAMEPLAY is in a game and how much CONTENT is provided for the price.
So you telling me to go waste 20 bucks on a 2 hour lesbian story that doesnt push nor gameplay nor graphics and you dare call yourself a “critic”
There are far better GAMES that will get my money’s worth than a game that doesnt even tell you what is about and demands 20 bucks for 2 hours of interactive story.
Might as well give 40 bucks for ground zeroes, but that game was heavilly criticized on the high price and small content.
“one of the best games I played ”
“one of the best games I played ”
“one of the best games I played ”
“game”
“played”
More like a interactive lesbian story.
So you see gone home and proteus get high scores and crysis 3 getting low scores.
This is when you reallize that game scores are biased.
What you talking about? Crysis 3 sucked ass. It didn’t have anything new apart from graphics. I have been playing the same FPS games since 1999. If that’s your definition of a good game then there goes the creativity down the drain.
sucked ass? no it didnt suck ass, it was a better game than bioshock infinite.
Your definition of a good game is a 2 hour lesbo story?
clap clap clap
What’s this Nvidia patch for Titanfall you mentioned?
Hopefully SLI support.
why they uses unreal engine 4 ? and why it looks like a 10 years old game ? 😀
Engine of the future, but it can be the most advanced engine on earth, crappy assets are crappy assets
For the same reason people claims that every game on RPG Maker, game maker or Mugen is a shit, the engine has nothing to do with the game quality, you can be using crytek, unity or unreal, but if your assets sucks the engine cant do anything to make them look better.
Same reason cryengine games dont look as good as crysis while the last 2 splinter cell games use a modified old unreal engine and look amazing.
Damn just finished the game and that changing the FOV would have been nice.
Anyway was ok I guess for a slender clone.
Yes, almost all modern AAA FPS games suck ass. The story is shit, the AI is useless, non-existent interaction with the world, cheesy dialogues and characters, shitty gameplay mechanics. And don’t even get me started on Crysis.
I would rather play a game which tries to be creative rather than drinking down the kool-aid big studios are selling.
I can put all those things you mentioned on bioshock infinite.
Story? Only in the begining and in the end of the game, the rest is filler nonsense and in the end the story has more plotholes than…..i cant think anything with so many holes, perhaps iraq? LOL
I see you got a quake 2 avatar i still play that game for solid combat and fast paced gameplay i couldnt care less about story and ai in shooters.
I wont comment on how bad the ai and the gameplay mechanics are on bioshock infinite or in most shooters nowdays.
