Guide!
Preface: I originally posted this quick guide to reddit a while back, but am copying it over here for people who never go there and missed it originally.

Intro: This guide will show you how to get rid of the MOTION BLUR in SFV without also getting rid of Ambient Occlusion, Bloom, and other effects missing on the Lower Post-Process Presets in the game options.

If you like the heavy blur or just want to tone it down a bit, or tweak something else entirely, you can finally adjust all the individual graphical options to your liking and not be forced into their very few chosen presets.


Where to start: You'll need to find the default Scalability.ini file.
It's located in: steamapps\common\StreetFighterV\StreetFighterV\Intermediate\Config\CoalescedSourceConfigs\Scalability.ini


Next: Copy that file and overwrite the blank Scalability.ini located in C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\StreetFighterV\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\ (it should be blank, if not make a backup just in case) - You may have to enable viewing of hidden files and folders in Windows to find it!


Now: Open the freshly copied Scalability.ini file in your \WindowsNoEditor\ folder. All the individual settings for each preset are listed and configurable in here. For Post-Process, you want the sections titled [PostProcessQuality@0] [PostProcessQuality@1] [PostProcessQuality@2] [PostProcessQuality@3]

Where:
0 = Low
1 = Medium
2 = High
3 = Max

If you want Motion Blur disabled but all the other Max Post-Process options enabled, just change r.MotionBlurQuality=4 to r.MotionBlurQuality=0 under [PostProcessQuality@3], save, then choose Max Post-Process in the game and you'll have everything but the overblown motion blur that makes all the animations blend together into a hard to read, blurry mess. You may want to set the file to read only after you've made your changes so it doesn't get overwritten. (May not be necessary, haven't confirmed)


Some of the other settings should be self-explanatory if you're familiar with tweaking PC games. There's a lot more settings in there as well that you really don't need to mess with. While you can edit the default file located in the install directory, it seems that any changes only take effect when they're in your "user" config location. Which is why you have to copy it over first. To reset the game to the default graphical settings and forget all your adjustments and changes, just delete your custom Scalability.ini - the game will rebuild the empty one the next time you load it.

Make backups, mess around, don't blame me if stuff breaks. Enjoy!

Also, is there a way to increase the colour gamut? This thing seems to be running on CGA colours. XD

So how do I turn off Anti Aliasing and Shadows completely ?

Do I change values to 0 in all of these ?
[ShadowQuality@0]
[ShadowQuality@1]
[ShadowQuality@2]
[ShadowQuality@3]

How do I know what quality does my game use , i.e. 0,1,2 or 3 ?

I thought I was the only one annoyed by this crap, thank you for posting/reposting this.

Right on, psyman!

Those sort of options are the ones I meant should be self-explanatory when looking through the .ini, as mentioned in the last paragraph of the guide. I didn't feel like the basics needed to be covered in detail but it's good for those unfamiliar with tweaking PC games and unaware of what they'd do! :KSmiley:
