SoD Graphics Config (Optimization and visual fixes)

Hello everyone. For the past 2 days I've been digging around in the configs making various tweaks to all the of low,medium,high,ultra specs and I feel like I've hit the point where I can release it and it would be a benefit for all.

What does it exactly do?

It changes around a lot of the default SoD graphics variables to make them more suitable for PC. Low spec will serve as a graphics minimum where Ultra will be the "all-in".

*Low spec has been respec'd and designed for lower-end PC. It disables shadows, edgeaa and SSAO. It makes the textures run at quarter of the full res and various other tweaks.

*Medium has been given half res textures.

*Fixed the character ghosting aura thing. SSAO was the culprit and I'll be using SSDO from now on.

*Bloom tweaks so it's not completely insane at night.

I've created some interactive comparison screenshots to show you whats going on with each spec.

UI and Resolution support is a big thing. I guess proper mouse support is one as well.

Oh I haven't updated this post in forever.

Change the Config-a.pak back to config.pak, should be fixed.

Ok, that solved it for me. Thank you for the great work pal! :)

I just downloaded the file, and I click on "extract to", and that's where I get a little lost, because I cannot seem to find where I must extract it to, can anyone help me, and direct where I should find SoD files? I'm really getting into the game, but the slight lag I get every now and then is very annoying, especially when I don't have a problem with any other games.

And yes, I'm not very good with this sort of stuff, because I never really do it.

Nice, it ran worse than the game's default settings but I tweaked it and now I have a solid 60. Even when recording gameplay!

the config.pak file in the game directory:

State of Decay/Engine/

must be open with a filepacker (7-zip for example) then you have to copy the complete content of the config.zip into the config.pak

How copy and paste into the config.pak? It's not a folder...
I copy all content from config.zip to "state of decay/engine/"
So, the Engine folder now have " config.pak , shaders.pak , and all the files from config.zip.

- FPS in game still low , 14 - 20 fps...

8gb RAM , gtx 760 4gb.
