It's does what the tile already says. My new values for some specific command lines are tested & working without any graphics glitches on ELEX 2 2.0 & with the latest NVidia GeForce driver. I didn't try with AMD graphics cards, so can't tell for sure the same. The game was just updated today but I already tested & this tweak just fine with the game without any crash or glitch. Obviously, if you wanna have better graphics than the original Ultra graphics, you need a modern, decent Gaming PC or you will suffer by low performance / low FPS.

I run the game on a latest i7 CPU, 32 GB RAM, RTX 3060 12GB OC Edition & SSD.

The tweak is intend to further enhance graphics fidelity.

Some new values I used from ELEX 1 tweaks, some was done already by user name "◊ jaco ◊ de" (You can find his guide too here on Steam Community Hub.), & some just was find out by myself.

How to install:

Step 1: Make a copy/save about the original file 1st, just in case in a separate folder.

2: GO TO ConfigDefault.XML Document (It's in the ini subfolder within the ELEX 2 game main folder.) AND OPEN WITH NOTEPAD. THEN COPY ALL OF THIS, SO SIMPLY OVERWRITE THE ORIGINAL COMMAND LINES, THEN SAVE:

RAM USED 14.7GB on Windows 11, plus 5.8 GB of video memory on average. FPS between 40-60, avg. is 50. I use V-Sync to keep the maximum FPS on 60, it's forced via NVidia GeForce driver. I playing also only in Full HD, so 1920 x 1080 resolution. If you further increase the resolution, you will definitely needs more video memory than I use to play this game.

Have fun! :)
