Best Settings For Star Wars Bounty Hunter

I have to say, the graphics of this game won’t break the bank or your PC. This remaster won’t push your hardware to the limit. It’s a 2002 game at heart, so even if you don’t have the latest and greatest rig, you should be able to follow my lead. Here’s what I found works best:

Display Settings

Let’s look at the display settings first:

  • Resolution: I just want you to give the resolution you are currently using on your monitor. For example, my monitor supports 2560×1440, so I gave the same resolution in game.

  • Window Mode: I set this mode to “FULLSCREEN.” I want you to do that as well.
  • VSYNC: It’s a bit controversial, but it’s not a competitive FPS game like Valorant or CS2. That’s why I prefer it “ON.” I know what you’re thinking, but trust me on this one.

Graphics Settings

Now, we will look at the best part, Graphics settings:

  • Dynamic Lighting: I like it “ON.” I also want you to keep it on if you want to get the best out of the game.
  • Motion Blur: It’s completely personal choice. I choose “EXTREME” because, I want to immerse myself in the game. But, you can turn it “OFF” if you don’t want that.
  • Ambient Occlusion: Just go “EXTREME” with this one.
  • Anti-Aliasing: I tried other options, but “FXAA+TAA” works best for me.
  • Bloom: I used “EXTREME” for the settings. But, set it to “OFF” or “LOW” if it’s too fuzzy for your taste.
  • Dynamic Shadows: This should be “ON.
  • Bump Mapping: Final, setting I’ve set it “ON.

My Take on Performance

With these settings, I was hitting on avg 120 FPS on my rig. Even in the heat of battle, it didn’t break a sweat. The game caps out at 120 FPS, but honestly, for a remaster of a 2002 game, that’s more than enough.

A Few Quirks in the System

Now, it’s not all perfect. There are a few things to watch out for:

  1. Mouse aiming: There’s a slight jitter when using a mouse. It’s not game-breaking, but it is noticeable. Hopefully, they’ll patch this soon.
  2. Camera sensitivity: The up/down camera movement can be a bit twitchy. You might need to fiddle with the sensitivity settings to get it just right.
  3. Flashlight: It looks great from behind, but from the front? Not a huge deal, but it can break the immersion a bit.

All in all, this remaster does a solid job of bringing Star Wars Bounty Hunter to modern systems. It’s not perfect, but you can still run it smoothly if you followed my lead.
