Disable the Evil Dead The Game Depth of Field Effect
Depth of Field is a pretty common visual setting in most PC titles. It blurs the background and focuses on something in a scene. It usually comes down to preference, but a lot of gamers tend to disable it for the sake of a clearer image. Evil Dead: The Game doesn’t let you disable it from the menus, but you can do so by editing the configuration file.
Follow the steps below to do so.
- Open Windows Run by either pressing Windows + R keys together, or by searching for it in Windows Search
- Enter the following address, and press OK
%LOCALAPPDATA%\EvilDead\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
- Here, open the Engine.ini file using a text editor like Notepad, or Notepad++
- Now, add the following lines at the bottom of the file
[SystemSettings]
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
- Now, Save the file (Ctrl+S), and exit out.
That is all you need to do, and the depth of field effect will be completely disabled from the game. This means that whether it was used in in-engine cutscenes, menus, or gameplay, it will be gone.
If you want to enable it again, simply remove the lines we mentioned above or just the r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0 bit.
Depth of Field is a fairly basic setting that should have been in the game. Hopefully, the developers can patch it in, and maybe we’ll see it appear after a few updates.
