INI Profiles

Update (03/2021): There is a much improved INI profile which addresses draw distance, lighting and other fixes not covered by the tweaks below- https://pastebin.com/STU7dH0j

Additionally, DQXI-SDK includes the RenderFix plugin, which augments these improvements with adjustments to Anti-Aliasing and Scene Rendering: https://github.com/emoose/DQXIS-SDK


For further adjustments, please see ---->

These can be tested in game with the console like so:

  • x.Variable - Shows current value

  • x.Variable Y - Changes value to Y


Or added to <documents>\My Games\DRAGON QUEST XI\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Engine.ini under "[SystemSettings]" to permanently set the desired value.
