Ultimate Engine Tweaks (Anti-Stutters - More Performance - Lower Latency - Better Clarity - Lossless)
After many hours of research and testing, I'm excited to share my final custom "Engine.ini" changes for the game.
My goal was to include as many optimizations as possible, targeting CPU, GPU, RAM, and SSD. These optimizations aimed to reduce stuttering (except for specific traversal stuttering that can only be fixed by the developers themselves), improve performance, decrease input latency, and enhance picture clarity. For example, I removed film grain and chromatic aberration, optimized DLSS/FSR upscaling, and more.
All these changes were made without compromising the visual experience or introducing glitches or crashes.
FFVIIHook is required. (Just put its xinput1_3.dll file inside Game Folder\End\Binaries\Win64\)
I also suggest to manually upgrade DirectStorage with latest version (more info in the Optional Files section)
Then you can directly download my Engine.ini to paste/replace or just copy all the lines in it inside your game Engine.ini, which is located in:
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
(To Uninstall just delete the Engine.ini)
DO NOT USE TOGETHER WITH OTHERS "OPTIMIZATION" MODS
(any other mod will be compatible)
FOR NVIDIA OWNERS: DO NOT FORCE ENABLE REBAR GLOBALLY or you will always stutter every few seconds.
If you really want to use ReBar, configure it specifically for this game like the following (in NVIDIA Profile Inspector)
