The very first thing to do is to find your .cfg files in your "My Documents" section. If you're not sure where that is, the folder should be located at C > Users > "Your User Name" > My Documents > My Games > Ravaged > Ravaged Game > Config

There should be at least four .cfg files and one .txt document in the folder: RavagedEngine.cfg, RavagedGame.cfg, RavagedInput.cfg, RavagedNews.txt, and RavagedUI.cfg

Whatever you do, do NOT change any of the RAVAGED .cfg files in your Steam directory. That's bad, so don't touch those as I haven't messed around with them. If you do, you do so at your own risk as I haven't changed those files.

Once you have found the folder with the .cfg files in your My Documents folder, move on to Section 2

BEFORE YOU START MAKING CHANGES, MAKE SURE TO CREATE BACKUP FILES OF RavagedEngine.cfg & RavagedInput.cfg AND SAVE THEM SOMEWHERE SAFE![/b]

Open up your RavagedEngine.cfg file.

Find the [SystemSettings] and change settings to what is listed below. These are the main graphic tweaks that will make RAVAGED look extra nice.

I wouldn't recommend changing anything else in the [SystemSettings] so if you do, you do so at your own risk . . .

Once you're finished editing your settings, save it, close it, and then right-click the file icon. In the properties section, change the file to be "Read Only" and you're done.

This file is optional. I prefer to tweak my own input settings and keep them from being changed by making the file "Read Only" for my own convenience.

Below are the menu items that you can change directly in the RavagedInput.cfg file. These are my own personal settings and I'm not recommending anyone to use them. I'm just showing you where the settings are located in the file. Open it up and scroll down until you find the different settings and change them to whatever you like to use.

[Engine.PlayerInput]

bEnableMouseSmoothing=False

Once you're finished editing your settings, save it, close it, and then right-click the file icon. In the properties section, change the file to be "Read Only" and you're done.

First thing you need to do is add Ravaged to your list of programs and you'll need to do it manually. The file you need is an .exe file. It should be located in your Steam folder at the following location: Steam > Steam Apps > Common > Ravaged > Binaries > Win32 > RavagedGame.exe

Once you've found it, add it. Now you can customize Ravaged.

Below are my own personal NVIDIA Control Panel Settings for RavagedGame.exe. My desktop computer uses EVGA GForce 560ti 1.5GB x 2 in SLI mode (F.A.F.R. 2).


Ambient Occlusion: Not supported for this application (grey'd out)
Anisotropic Filtering: Application-controlled
Antialiasing - FXAA: Off
Antialiasing - Gamma Correction: On
Antialiasing - Mode: Enhance the application setting
Antialiasing - Setting: 4x
Antialiasing - Transparency: Off
CUDA - GPUs: All
Maximum pre-rendered frames: Use the 3D application setting
Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration: Single display performance mode (I only use one monitor)
Power management mode: Prefer maximum performance
SLI rendering mode: Force alternate frame rendering 2 (this setting gives me the most stable FPS)
Texture filtering - Anisotropic sample optimization: Off (grey'd out)
Texture filtering - Negative LOD bias: Clamp
Texture filtering - Quality: High Quality
Texture filtering - Trilinear optimization: Off (grey'd out)
Threaded optimization: On
Triple buffering: On
Vertical sync: Use the 3D application setting
