Elite Dangerous Settings Override (January 2025)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Created by StrixLVG aka LCARS

Elite Dangerous allows you to run custom graphics settings that can increase the maximum graphics settings and in some cases correct some things. I have made an GraphicsConfigurationOverride XML file which changes the following:

* More stars rendered at once. You have 3 options (32.000, 64000 & 128000).
* Increases the planet texture resolution on the ultra setting to 4096x4096.
* Increases skybox texture resolution (Galaxy Background) to 1024x1024, 2048x2048 & 4096x4096 on Low, Medium and High settings respectively.
* Sets the correct Environment Ultra settings.
* Reduces the skybox dust visuals.
* Increases the amount of nebulas that can be shown on screen at the same time.
* Enhances Ultra Shadows to higher resolution and less issues.

The XML file should be placed in the following directory to install:
C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME*\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics

The username is whatever you have set it to be.

These settings are meant for people running the game with (near) max settings. For best results, run the game at max settings.

To the right of each setting value you can find the default value set by FDev to see the changes made.


Popular settings:

* StarInstanceCount:                Maximum number of stars in your instance. A higher number shows more stars in your skybox.
* LocalDustBrightness:              The amount of dust you can see in the instance skybox. A value of -0.1 completely disables the dust. A non negative value increases the intensity of the dust.
* NebulasCount:                     The amount of nebulas you can see at once in your instance and the galaxy map.
* Planets -> TextureSize:           The texture quality of the planets. A higher number means higher detailed planets.
* GalaxyBackground -> TextureSize:  Resolution of your skybox. A higher texture size is higher clarity.
