Enable important graphics options by editing Config (.ini) files
By shortcake
This port is a bit lazy; the only display options are windowed/fullscreen and a few pre-selected resolutions up to 1920×1080. Thankfully, this is an Unreal Engine 3 title, so configuring the game is straight-forward if you're willing to edit some files.

Starting Notes
Ensure the game is closed before altering any files.

If you see "GG2 Game" in the file name, remove the space.

Use your favorite text editor to edit these files. Notepad or WordPad will work fine. I personally use Notepad++.

If you find any more noteworthy settings, let me know so I can add them to this guide.
Configure Framerate Cap
This is mainly useful for high refresh rate monitors

Known issue:
Some elements such as the "Now Loading" screen will play faster depending on your framerate

Open My Documents\My Games\UnrealEngine3\GG2 Game\Config\GG2Engine.ini
Search for this line:
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=62
Set the value to whatever you want
Save the file
Configure Resolution
This is basic stuff that should be in the game
May have a notable performance impact


Navigate to your Steam directory
Open \steamapps\common\GalGun Double Peace\GG2 Game\Config\DefaultInput.ini
Scroll down to the bottom and append these lines at the very end:
.Bindings=(Name="F3",Command="setres 2560x1440f") .Bindings=(Name="F4",Command="setres 3840x2160f") .Bindings=(Name="F5",Command="setres 5120x2880f")
The "f" at the end of each line means it will automatically switch to fullscreen when activated
You can change the keys and resolution options however you see fit
Save the file
While in-game, press a key to change to its corresponding resolution
Enable Anti-aliasing (MSAA)
This is used to smooth out jagged edges
May have a notable performance impact


Known Issue:
Some HUD elements may glitch out or disappear with MSAA enabled. If this happens, it is recommended to use DSR instead if your PC is capable enough.

Open My Documents\My Games\UnrealEngine3\GG2 Game\Config\GG2SystemSettings.ini
Search for these lines (note that the Japanese text may appear differently on your machine):
MaxMultiSamples=4 bAllowD3D9MSAA=False(PS4時はFalseだった)
Replace "=False(PS4時はFalseだった)" with "=True" on the second line
Change the value in the first line to 2, 4 or 8 to enable 2x, 4x and 8x MSAA respectively
Save the file
Enable VSync
This eliminates screen tearing

Open My Documents\My Games\UnrealEngine3\GG2 Game\Config\GG2SystemSettings.ini
Search for this line:
UseVsync=False
Replace "=False" with "=True"
Save the file
Enable Borderless Windowed
This removes the borders around the game's window and stretches the game to fit the monitor

I can't find a way to do this at all. Not through .ini editing, not through third-party applications, nothing.

Let me know if you find a way.

Just want to add, sometimes when you change settings in ini files they revert to default when you open the game. To prevent this, set the ini files to read only (right-click, properties, tick the box, ok)

To switch between windowed and fullscreen hit Alt+Enter

There is also a GG2Engine.ini in the \steamapps\common\GalGun Double Peace\GG2 Game\Config location as well as in My Documents\My Games\UnrealEngine3\GG2 Game\Config, I had to change the settings for framerate in both locations and set them to read only to force the changes

If anyone is still having problems with the flickering hud and demon icons, use Nividia profile inspector and change Antialiasing Compatibility to 0x004412C1 (Diablo III).

nvcp is useless
Yakub(sonichu) 8 Jan, 2020 @ 6:10pm 
Is there any difference from editing graphics setting from nvcp?

Can anyone confirm if they locked the ini files or pull this data from elswhere now? Changing vsync to true doesn't work anymore for me, tried revalidating and all kinds of text editors, but i keep having extreme tearing...
