Manor Lords: Engine.ini Settings & Game .ini File Location

If for any reason you need to manually edit the user configuration options (e.g. the game won’t open because of your settings) then you can find the .ini files in this location.

Linux/Steam Deck

/home/$USER/.steam/steamapps/compatdata/1363080/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/ManorLords/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor/

Windows

[your drive letter]:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\ManorLords\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

(specific location of Steam seems to vary, but if you can get to “.steam” then the rest of the path holds true)

GameUserSettings.ini will allow you to edit the in-game options.

You can also edit general UE4 engine.ini settings, like getting rid of vignette.

Random freebie info, saved games are located here:

[your drive letter]:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\ManorLords\Saved\SaveGames

Engine.ini Tweaks

Add [SystemSettings] to the bottom of the engine.ini file and then add further lines to tweak different elements.

Disable Vignette
Add this line:
r.Tonemapper.Quality=1

Disable Motion Blur
Add these lines:
r.MotionBlur.Max=0
r.MotionBlurQuality=0
r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=0

Disable Depth of Field
Add this line:
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0

Disable Bloom
Add these lines:
r.DefaultFeature.Bloom=0
r.BloomQuality=0

Disable Anti-Aliasing
Add these lines:
r.PostProcessAAQuality=0
r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=0

Brightness/Gamma Kind of
r.Color.Mid=1
(assume 1 is 100%, you change up or down 0.5 50%, 2 200%)

Other UE4 engine.ini tweaks will apply if you can find a generic engine config line from other UE4 game guides. I’ll update here if any more useful ones come to light.
