Engine.ini modifications. Has also lumen reflections, sadly no idea how to reflect characters, their shadows are being though reflected.
Installation
Find the engine.ini in:
- Users\username\AppData\Local\Pal\Saved\Config\Windows
(No idea if it’s the same for microsoft store app Palworld players).
Copy and paste in the text from below.
No need to make the file readme only, also if you don’t make it readme only, if you overwrote the autogenerated stuff in the engine.ini file, those will be regenerated by the game.
