;
; Base scalability settings
; =========================
;
; The definitions here affect the console variables starting with "sg." and define the user quality levels (game/editor video settings)
; To override a specific platform use DeviceProfile.ini (whach out for the different syntax).
;
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

; Note: [ResolutionQuality] isn't using the usual 0/1/2/3 quality levels, the value directly maps to r.ScreenPercentage.
; This is because we want custom scaling aligned with the screen/window resolution with more fine grained control
;
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;
; Note: "r.MSAA.CompositingSampleCount" goes upto 8 however we're limiting it to 4 in a scale of 1/1/2/4
; Meaning that it is off for the first two detail levels.
