Marvel Rivals - *NEW* CONFIG for FPS & Latency Optimization

[@UnfilteredByts]

Hello everyone, After some thorough testing, Jim (@hellomynameisjim - founder of scalability.ini) identified the culprit behind the issue. It turns out to be related to 'foliage.DiscardDataOnLoad'. In addition, Jim further optimized the configuration while ensuring there would be no crashes. I’ve already updated the Pastebin with the latest changes, so please give it another try! For those reporting bans, please note that these were not caused by the optimization. The bans occurred because of crashes and mid-game disconnects. This is similar to what happens in games like Apex Legends, Valorant, Fortnite or Tekken-if you crash mid-match, you get penalized. Thank you all for your support! If you experience another crash, please be specific in your report. Include details such as: - The game mode - Your PC specs - Windows version - The map you were on - Whether the crash occurred in ranked or casual matches Lastly, for anyone looking for an additional performance boost, I’ve also created another optimization video. Unlike this one, it focuses on mods rather than configs. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYvXc6mHeLCqr9Usi=KQJ79lRrmvBEjVcD (only choose one, this optimization using configs or via mods) Thank you again, and I look forward to your feedback!

Thanks bro now the crash is fixed with the updated config. Sorry bro I wished I have commented earlier actually I actually found out that the crash mostly happens in Yggdrassil maps last night(now its fixed). But was busy playing because the config did helped me play the sh*tty Tokyo 2099 maps where it doesn't lag anymore. Thank you bro Added: Also been gooning and edging a lot after buying Psylocke skin, so yeahh I got distracted.

@@CGF41492 damn I want to buy that skin too but afraid that I won't grind the game too much anyw, I hate working I just wanna play man! It would be nice if you can find that comment who was yapping (you'll know which one) and say that the fix actually work hahaha.

[@CGF41492]

@@UnfilteredByts bro yeahh I do hope others would understand that tweaking the game is a continues trial and error process. I forget to mention but there is a slight graphic issue with the config but it doesn't affect performance or anything but when you press the "B" button where you can see yellow light that indicates destructible object like an eagle vision(assassins creed reference) that one doesn't work currently. You can only hear sound cues but not see the vision itself. Thanks but either way Performance is good I hope they fixed the "B" vision thing.

[@UnfilteredByts]

@@CGF41492 we’ll try to take a look at that! :)

[@Vyngraven]

As a support, you can no longer see your team through walls. Maybe its the same settings as the breakable environment. Hope this can be changed.

[@UnfilteredByts]

I never realized this was the case, I am too focused at being a DPS huhu, we'll try to find a way to fix this one too :D

[@clairezz]

I did everything mentioned in steps still didn't work do u have a discord where I can pm you and ask for fix?

[@eldrah]

To determine which of the AA/Scaling options gives you the least amount of input latency, download a tool called nvidia frameview (works on amd and intel too). Launch it prior to launching the game and it'll show you PCL (PC Latency) along with other stats so you can actually determine which of the AA methods is the least input lag for you. On my PC for example FSR Balanced seems to be giving the least latency.

[@UnfilteredByts]

That's a good way to do it! I'll heart this comment so people can choose to do so. What's the difference in your FPS between TAAU and FSR balanced?

[@chy.0190]

The difference in latency between the 3 top upscalers is negligible. In image quality and ghosting/smearing in motion (latter being the last thing you want in a multiplayer shooter), FSR is comfortably the worst in every comparison that's on KZbin lmao. Use XESS if you have AMD gpu.

[@BackstabAna]

I kinda did everything from the previous video but unfortunately it just didn’t work out and the display settings keep resetting to setting that make the game stutter and fps drop a lot so I uninstalled everything for now , it’s not just me but even my friends who play the game say they’re having issues while trying to play , exactly what is making the game so unoptimised for some systems to run it efficiently?

[@UnfilteredByts]

I noticed in the comment section of my previous video that some people are experiencing their render scaling settings being reset, which causes stuttering after applying the mod optimization. I released this video because it’s very similar to the first optimization guides and focuses on configuration tweaks. My goal with this video is to help those who didn’t have success with the mods to play the game smoothly. Since the game runs on Unreal Engine 5-a notoriously unoptimized and buggy engine-it can be challenging to achieve good performance.

[@xotristan]

it's just Unreal Engine 5, plus it's a Mobile Gaming Company owned by China hence why it's so unoptimized.

[@Yinukyo]

any way to make the texture and colors look a little better?

[@UrMalo]

Do you have to put any commands in the launch options in steam?

[@xotristan]

I use: -high +fps_max 0 -novid +r_drawparticles 0 +mat_disable_fancy_blending 1 -forcenovsync

[@hellomynameisjim]

No; only Source engine games accept commands like these.

[@UrMalo]

@@xotristan Okay thank you 🙏ill have to try thsese out

[@NotBubbaa]

do I need to use tauu for this or can i use dlss too

[@UnfilteredByts]

depends on your pc! At this point its a mix bag. Someone with rtx 4060 used taau since they got better fps than dlss on performance, someone with low end machine tried dlss and worked better for them.

[@Synister.Sneakers]

is it better to use this together with a fps boost pak or one at a time??

[@UnfilteredByts]

As mentioned, please do not use the mods with this to avoid bugs.

[@drewastakenn]

What if I have the Skip Intro and Skip login .pak mods files? Do I have to delete those or is it fine?

[@UnfilteredByts]

Honestly haven't tested this yet. In theory it should not interfere. Would you be able to help and test as I am currently working right now :D

[@drewastakenn]

@@UnfilteredByts Tried it for 5 matches, so far nothing has happened. We good👍

[@loganmcdougall8647]

It works great. Thank you.

[@UnfilteredByts]

Glad this helped you out :D. Would you be able to tell me your pc specs + how much fps you got out of this optimization guide?

[@bubbleblast196]

Does this give more of a performance boost than using mods

[@Sarpa.]

yes it does but some breakable objects don't render

[@hellomynameisjim]

Currently, yes, but it's too good right now so it's crashing the game sometimes 😂 Working to fix!

[@hellomynameisjim]

The issue with the config is fixed, though you must make the change manually for now. Delete the _"foliage.DiscardDataOnLoad=1"_ line from your config file to stop the crashing, or wait for UnfilteredByts to update the Pastebin file 🙂

[@bubbleblast196]

Ty

[@Virelia-V]

editing the config in ways like this have also been banned, doing this is putting ur account at risk for the rest of the season

[@hellomynameisjim]

We are yet to find evidence of any player being banned as a direct result of configuration file amendments. This method is _likely_ to be safer than using the .PAK mod method in UnfilteredByts' previous video.

[@Virelia-V]

@ they specifically mentioned, tweaks to the engine have been removed, and any other config changes as such should be disabled, if you somehow work around it your risking ur account being suspended idk, just seems dumb, just play on low settings and deal with it, until they release new updates there’s no point in the risk

[@hellomynameisjim]

@Virelia-V Many players are unable to achieve good performance even on the lowest graphics settings. The risk when using .PAK mods or config changes is minimal, and the pros far outweigh the cons at this time, where NO credible bans have been reported. Many players are opting to take that risk, and this config file is here to help them!

[@UnfilteredByts]

Seems like you're pretty smart Virelia :D, as stated in the video would you mind citing any links or anyone who got banned because of config optimization / mod optimization? Thanks :D

[@chy.0190]

​@Virelia-Valmost every publisher says this or has it in their t and c's worded in a different way. They don't really care to actually ban people for editing config files. Instead they just remove the use of certain commands within the config files (eg. Apex with movement configs.)

[@hellomynameisjim]

Good news! I've managed to replicate the crash, so I'm troubleshooting now and working on a fix. I suppose the new optimisation is a little aggressive in places, which causes the engine to throw an error on certain maps. Fix soon! 🙏

[@dravenmonteito8667]

Ill wait till yall troubleshoot before I use the file. Since response seems mixed thanks for helping us brokies out lol

[@hellomynameisjim]

*We've found the issue!* The _"foliage.DiscardDataOnLoad=1"_ line causes crashes upon loading certain maps. Simply delete this line from the config, and the crashes will cease. The Pastebin will be updated to reflect the fix when UnfilteredByts wakes up and edits it. Apologies for any inconvenience, and happy gaming!

[@UrMalo]

@@hellomynameisjim Okay thanks for the info

[@veo16]

Who cares if it’s bannable lol. Just use it and enjoy the optimizations. It works this way in all games. People who worry are working themselves up over small potatoes.

[@UnfilteredByts]

@@veo16 love this comment!

[@veo16]

The best optimizations for cs2 , since i heard the creator mention the game, are the movement configs that exist. They’re updated every week. And get very complex. Using these makes you run circles around anyone playing with default settings.

[@UnfilteredByts]

@@veo16 yeah they started on the jump throw bind script config, they removed that and added it in the game instead; there were also double movement binds. Meaning you can even go deeper of an angle to the right forward (instead of getting 45 degree to right forward by pressing w and d). CS is such an optimized game though (not much on cs2) but still better than Marvel Rivals haha!

[@fitzman7898]

appreciate u, i have a 1060 w 3 gb vram its basically unplayable without config but i was never comfortable downloading mods. keep on finding ways if they patch it lmao

[@UnfilteredByts]

Yeah mods can feel a little sketchy sometimes lol, glad this helps tho!

[@Gnawxam]

Nice work! i have tried this optimization for a little bit. So far issues i encounter are the disappearance of some heros' ult visual effects (hela & thor) and the disability of searching breakable objects. Maybe mods are the only option for my PC.

[@UnfilteredByts]

Yo Tomi! We're trying to find what causes this. May you please share more info [pc specs] [ have you done other optimization] [which windows ver] [what map / mode are you crashing on]. Thanks!

I followed every steps in this video, and it did improve my fps when I enter the practice range. But whenever I queue for game, once it says match found my game crashes. And if I remove everything it works just fine. Is there a reason for this?

[@hellomynameisjim]

Hey! Do you still have the .PAK file active in your `mods` folder? That's the current theory as to why you'd be crashing out so often. Double check if it's there, then delete or rename the file as instructed in the Scalability.ini file, and let us know! Thanks!

[@hellomynameisjim]

There are already lines in the config that are disabling these features, but you may want to create a separate _"DefaultInput.ini"_ file with the lines near the top of the config (under "/Script/Engine.InputSettings") to make doubly sure they're being disabled (if they are even present in the first place).

[@mechas1753]

I'm improving considerably but I don't understand why you have 110 more frames than me. I have an RTX 3070 with i7 and 32 ram

@ Well you would think but that’s not what happened. I relaunched the game after the crash and it gave me the option to reconnect, so I did.

marvel folder is empty :(

[@hellomynameisjim]

Try copy & pasting this in your File Explorer: "%localappdata%\Marvel\Saved\Config\Windows". What happens?

[@chy.0190]

Problem with TAAU is it's the second most blurriest option there in motion clarity (FSR is the worst with even more smearing). And that's at 100 render scaling lmao. A KZbinr did a side by side comparison on this. Motion clarity is the most important thing in a shooter. DLSS is the clearest in motion, whilst still being better than most of the upscalers in performance. XESS is the best option if you have AMD/Intel GPU. Would only use TAAU at 60 render scaling, if you're dropping to sub 60 fps in fights on a potato pc. That UE5 shit smearing TAAU is something that should never be recommended otherwise.
