Quantum Break (Steam version)


Fix update to version 2.1 on 2019-12-22 by masterotaku



***Note: This fix only works with the Steam DX11 release of this game. It cannot be used for the Microsoft Windows Store DX12 release***






Man, what a game and an amazing 3D experience! Many people have been saying things along the lines of "favourite game ever" and "hugely underrated" (I'd agree more with the latter than the former myself), meanwhile some others complain it's horribly unoptimized or lacking in options (FOV slider and disable motion blur). What I'm sure we can all agree with is that the game is jaw droppingly gorgeous, with a strong narrative, and some unique and fun gameplay aspects. Definitely a must play for 3D enthusiasts (especially those with the hardware to enjoy it's full potential). Enjoy!

Fixed:
  • Lighting (global illumination, volumetric lighting, spotlights) & shadows
  • Screen space reflections
  • Fog and electricity effects
  • Time ripple effects
  • Bloom effects / lens flares
  • HUD & 3D crosshair implemented

Not fixed / remaining issues / additional quirks:
  • Some decals are not correctly placed on surfaces and float over the surface
  • Bloom fix uses a hack to obtain proper depth, so sometimes the effect slightly shifts around or the effect can sometimes break depending on camera position. If you find this to be distracting and would rather disable the bloom effect entirely instead, copy the file located in the ShaderFixes\Disable Bloom folder into the ShaderFixes folder (overwrite the existing file)

1.1 - Reduces high performance impact of fix on some systems

Instructions


1. Download fix: Version 2.1
2. Extract fix contents to ..\QuantumBreak\dx11 directory
3. In-game settings:
  • As you may already be aware, the "Upscaling" option actually has the game being rendered at a LOWER resolution than the display resolution you choose, and upscales it to that resolution (ie. renders at 720P when you select 1080P), so naturally that causes the game to look softer and have textures look a little blurry in order to increase performance a bit. Keep this off to have the game render at the proper resolution, however is much more demanding.
4. Optional - Nvidia 3D settings. When I disabled upscaling, in addition to lower performance, I also experienced some significant micro-stuttering. When I set these settings in the Nvidia Control Panel my stuttering disappeared:
  • Anisotropic filtering: 16x (this wasn't for stuttering, I read that this actually improves texture filtering over the game's default)
  • Maximum pre-rendered frames: 1
  • Shader Cache: Off (I suspect this may have caused some texture glitches I was facing)
  • Threaded optimization: On
  • Triple buffering: On
  • Vertical sync: Adaptive
5.  Key presets. The following keys have been set up to do the following:
  • F1: convergence presets.
  • F2: HUD depth presets, mostly for subtitles.
  • F3: depth of field toggle. Not disabled by default.
  • F4: motion blur toggle. Not disabled by default.
