Windrose Ultimate Engine Tweaks Mod v1.1

                    
Windrose runs on Unreal Engine 5, and like most UE5 games it ships with default engine settings that leave significant performance and clarity on the table. The Ultimate Engine Tweaks mod replaces those defaults with a custom Engine.ini built across 40+ UE5 games over more than a year of iterative tuning. Furthermore, every change targets a specific cost — stutters, input latency, ghosting, chromatic aberration, and upscaling inefficiency — without removing any visual quality. Consequently, you get a smoother, sharper, more responsive game with no trade-offs.
What’s Improved

Stutter reduction across CPU, GPU, RAM, and SSD bottlenecks.
Lower input latency for more responsive controls.
Improved picture clarity through optimized Film Grain, Motion Blur, and Anti-Aliasing settings.
Chromatic Aberration removed.
Optimized DLSS and FSR upscaling with reduced ghosting and shimmering.
No visual loss and no introduced glitches or crashes.

Which Variant Should You Download?

VRR variant: use this if Variable Refresh Rate is enabled on both your display and in your GPU control panel (NVIDIA G-Sync or AMD FreeSync).
No VRR variant: use this if VRR, G-Sync, or FreeSync is disabled on either your display or your GPU control panel.

Why You Need This Mod
UE5 games are known for shader compilation stutters and frame pacing issues that persist even on powerful hardware, and Windrose is no exception. This mod addresses those issues at the engine level rather than through in-game settings, which cannot reach the same parameters. Additionally, removing chromatic aberration and optimizing upscaling sharpens the image in ways the in-game options menu simply does not expose.
How to Get Started

Launch Windrose at least once and close it. This ensures the game has generated its default config folder before you add the new file.
Download the variant that matches your display setup (VRR or No VRR) and extract it to your PC.
Open your Windrose config folder by pressing Victoire + R, typing the following path, and pressing Enter:
%localappdata%\R5\Saved\Config\Windows

Copier le fichier téléchargé Engine.ini file into that folder.
Right-click Engine.ini, open Propriétés, and check the Read-only box. Click Apply then OK.
Launch Windrose. All engine tweaks apply automatically at startup.
To uninstall, delete the modded Engine.ini from the config folder. Windrose will regenerate its default settings on the next launch.

Good to Know

Do not use this mod alongside any other engine optimization or Engine.ini mod. The two files will conflict and one will override the other. All other non-optimization mods are fully compatible.
If you are unsure whether VRR is active on your setup, open your NVIDIA or AMD control panel and check whether G-Sync or FreeSync is enabled, then confirm your monitor also supports and has it enabled in its own settings menu.
The Read-only flag on Engine.ini is required. Without it, Windrose will overwrite the file with its own defaults on the next launch, removing all tweaks.
