The Crust: How to Disable Motion Blur & TAA

by
Engine.ini settings to disable the Motion blur and optionally the Temporal Anti Aliasing feature, both of which can be hard to look at for some players on top of subjectively harming the visuals.

Disabling Motion Blur

Navigate to %localappdata%\TheCrust\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Engine.ini

Once you’ve opened the file in your preferred text editor (I recommend Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code), you’ll then need to add the following section to the bottom of the file:

[SystemSettings]
r.MotionBlur.Max=0
r.MotionBlurQuality=0
r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=0

Disabling Temporal Anti Aliasing

Within the Engine.ini file mentioned above, add the following:

Note: You do NOT need to add [SystemSettings] again if it already exists, just add the new lines.

[SystemSettings]
r.PostProcessAAQuality=0

If you wish to disable all of the Anti aliasing completely, you can also add this line:

r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=0

Disabling Extra Post Processing Effects

If you want to disable any of the extra Post Processing effects you can also add the following:

Note: You do NOT need to add [SystemSettings] again if it already exists, just add the new lines.

[SystemSettings]
r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
r.LensFlareQuality=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0

In order, these disable the following:
Film Grain
Depth of Field
Lens Flares
Chromatic Abberation (Rainbow effect around edges)

These extra settings are not all used in this game as far as I know but I’m leaving this info here in case this changes in the future or in the event I just haven’t noticed them yet.

Disabling All of Them

I suggest you try with as few things disabled as possible otherwise you can affect the image quality significantly. The below options disable the Motion Blur and Depth of Field.

Navigate to %localappdata%\TheCrust\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Engine.ini

Once you’ve opened the file in your preferred text editor, add the following section at the bottom:

[SystemSettings]
r.MotionBlur.Max=0
r.MotionBlurQuality=0
r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=0
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0

If you want to disable all of them, Below disables Motion Blur, DOF, TAA and the extras.
As before, put at the bottom of the engine.ini file linked above.

[SystemSettings]
r.MotionBlur.Max=0
r.MotionBlurQuality=0
r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=0
r.PostProcessAAQuality=0
r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
r.LensFlareQuality=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
