Prey PC Performance Review

Graphical settings tweaks

FoV Options

To edit Prey’s FoV and motion blur settings you will need to navigate to C:Users(YourUserName)Saved GamesArkane Studios on your PC and open a file called game.cfg. Inside this file, you can edit a setting called cl_hfov = 85.5656, which will allow users to edit the game’s FoV.  

Below is an example edit that will change your FoV to 120 degrees. 

 

cl_hfov = 120

 

Motion Blur

To disable motion blur, you must add a new line to Prey’s game.cfg file which is called r_motionblur = 0 which will remove the game’s default Motion Blur option. 

 

Remove 144Hz FPS Cap

Inside Prey’s game.cfg file, find a line called sys_MaxFPS and change the value to whatever you wish the game’s framerate limit to be. Below is an example for an effectively unlimited framerate. 

 

sys_MaxFPS = 999

 

Skip Intro Movies

Inside your game’s installation folder, navigate to GameSDKVideos and delete the following files;

– ArkaneLogoAnim_Redux_1080p2997_ST-16LUFS.bk2

– Bethesda_logo_anim_white.bk2

– LegalScreens.bk2

– Ryzen_Bumper.bk2

 

This will speed up your game’s initial load times significantly.
