About Ultra+

Ultra+ is a series of mods designed for all PCs, fixing bugs and performance, with the best possible visuals.

What it Does

Ultra+ is a series of mods for everyone, fixing bugs and performance, with the best possible visuals.

This is NOT an engine.ini

Ultra+ mods take complete control of Unreal, from texture definitions, NPC quality, cut scenes, to even game settings menus — everything. You cannot do this mod in an engine.ini.

The goal of the Ultra+ series of mods is simple: To fix all engine problems (including performance and quality), so that everyone can play the game the way it was intended by the authors (from potato to insane).

Manual Installation

Extract everything from the main zip to your Lies of P\ directory
If you want Ray Reconstruction, copy nvngx_dlssd.dll from here into Lies of P\Engine\Plugins\Runtime\Nvidia\DLSS\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64 next to nvngx_dlss.dll

For Gamepass users (if applicable): the Win64 folder will be named WinGDK instead of Win64.

Performance and Visuals - Upscaling/Sharpening

For optimal performance and visual quality:

DLSS4 Users:

Use DLSS4 with Preset K for the best balance of performance and quality
At 4K resolution, DLSS Balanced or even DLSS Performance modes provide excellent results
Higher resolutions benefit from lower upscaling ratios due to DLSS4's improved algorithms

DLAA Users:

DLAA will be very expensive performance-wise - we do not recommend using DLAA - if desired override DLSS quality to 75%
Consider DLSS Quality mode with sharpening mentioned below instead for better performance with minimal visual compromise

General Recommendations:

1440p: DLSS Quality
4K: DLSS Balanced or Performance (especially with DLSS4)
Lower resolutions: DLSS Quality for best visual fidelity

Sharpening:

Install Lilium's HDR Shaders for Reshade to enable high-quality RCAS sharpening (works for both HDR and SDR)
RCAS significantly improves image quality and is strongly preferred over in-game sharpening
Makes the difference between lower upscaling quality settings less noticeable
Disable in-game sharpening when using RCAS for optimal results
