Devil May Cry 5: Improved Graphics - Enable Contact Shadows
298A quick video showcasing a simple graphical tweak that allows for better shadows during gameplay. Just to clarify, this isn't my mod, this is a simple config tweak.
DMC5 is interesting in how it handles its graphics. Cutscenes are real-time, but use more effects vs gameplay. Performance needs to be improved during gameplay segments for consoles, where 60fps is the target. Cinematics are fine at around 30fps.
On PC, we are capable of more. By default, there's unfortunately no option to enable these effects during gameplay: Screen-Space Reflections, Subsurface Scattering, Motion Blur, Depth Of Field and Contact Shadows. Even SSAO appears to be disabled or just not apparent during gameplay. So far, someone has found the appropriate value to enable Contact Shadows, and i think it looks great.
I found out about this here: https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Devil_May_Cry_5#Contact_Shadows
It may be possible to edit the same config file to allow for more cutscene exclusive effects to be enabled during gameplay. This game is already one of the best looking games out there in my opinion, but it can be taken further.
