Hell is an experiment you can’t survive in Outlast, a first-person survival horror game developed by veterans of some of the biggest game franchises in history. As investigative journalist Miles Upshur, explore Mount Massive Asylum and try to survive long enough to discover its terrible secret… if you dare.
Required
- Outlast cheat table
- Cheat Engine 7.5 or higher
- Reshade 6.x
- Night Vision HUD Removal With or Without Depth of Field.
Optional
Installation
Install ReShade if not already done. If not, start the installer. Click OK for the warning and choose your game from the list. Click Next twice.
Install the effects you want or click Uncheck All and press Next. Now, check the ShaderToggler by Otis Inf. Click next and Finish the installation.
Copy the ShadderToggler.ini file here .\steamapps\common\Outlast\Binaries\Win64 and nowhere else.
Finally, install Cheat Engine if not present on your computer.
Configuration
Game Pause Configuration
In Documents\My Games\Outlast\OLGame\Config, open OLInput.ini and at the end of the file, just before [IniVersion], add this line
Bindings=(Name="F12",Command="PAUSE",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False).
Resolution at or Above 4K
In \Documents\My Games\Outlast\OLGame\Config, open OLEngine.ini and add or modify the lines below under [Engine.Engine]
bUseCustomResolution=true ; -- Uncomment this and set CustomResX and CustomResY below to use a non-standard resolution
CustomResX=3840
CustomResY=2160
This will allow you to set the game at higher than the max allowed of 1440p (at higher resolution).
Film Grain Removal or Modification
Multiple choices here: full removal via mod or via ini file.
Mod
From the link above, carefully read the description as you will need TFC Installer. So, download the mod AND TFC Installer.
Extract both files somewhere. Start TFC Installer, point to your Outlast installation and install the mod.
Once done, the film grain should be removed (normal mode and night vision).
Ini File
Again, in Documents\My Games\Outlast\OLGame\Config, open OLInput.ini and at the end of the file, just before [IniVersion], add these two lines
Bindings=(Name="F8",Command="Set OLUberPostProcessEffect GrainOpacity 0",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)
Bindings=(Name="F8",Command="Set OLUberPostProcessEffect GrainOpacity 1",Control=True,Shift=False,Alt=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)
Save the file. In game, press F8 to disable the grain and CTRL+F8 to enable it back.
