Star Wars Galactic Racer Config Guide: Best Settings for Performance

Updated 2026-06-24

Understanding the Star Wars Galactic Racer Config File

The Star Wars Galactic Racer config file allows you to fine-tune graphics, controls, and performance beyond the in-game menu. Located in your documents folder under My Games/StarWarsGalacticRacer/Config/, the Engine.ini and GameUserSettings.ini files contain key parameters. Adjusting these settings can significantly improve frame rates on lower-end hardware.

For an overview of the game's mechanics, check out our mechanics guide.

Best Graphics Settings for High FPS

To achieve a smooth 60 FPS or higher, prioritize these settings in the config file. Lowering shadow quality and post-processing has the biggest impact on performance.

Always back up your original config files before making changes. You can restore them if something goes wrong.

Performance Preset

Set sg.ShadowQuality to 0, sg.PostProcessQuality to 1, and sg.TextureQuality to 3. This balances visual clarity with high frame rates.

Ultra Preset

For high-end PCs, set all sg.Quality values to 5. Ensure r.ScreenPercentage is at 100.

Optimizing Input and Controls

Configuring your controls properly can give you a competitive edge. Adjust the AxisMappings in the config file to reduce input lag.

  • Set MouseSensitivity to a value between 0.5 and 1.5.
  • Disable MouseAcceleration by setting it to False.
  • For controllers, adjust DeadZone to 0.15 to avoid stick drift.

Refer to our beginner guide for more control tips.

Advanced Tweaks for Stability

Some players experience stuttering. To fix this, add these lines to your Engine.ini file:

[SystemSettings]
r.Streaming.PoolSize=1024
r.Streaming.LimitPoolSizeToVRAM=1

This limits texture streaming to your VRAM, preventing hitches. For more on system requirements, see the system requirements guide.

Troubleshooting Common Config Issues

If the game crashes after editing your config, delete the modified files and let the game regenerate them. Then, apply changes one by one.

Why is my game not saving settings? Ensure the config file is not set to "Read-only" in Windows. Right-click the file, go to Properties, and uncheck the box.

How do I reset to default? Delete the Config folder entirely. The game will create a fresh copy on next launch.
