Any Way To Change Graphic Options Outside Of Game?

[Loogoo]

My computer will launch the game from the launcher, I can log in, then as soon as it asks me if I want to bind my Warframe account to my steam account, it crashes. I know this is from my graphic options being to high because my computer is a S#&$ty 6-year-old Inspiron 15. I am confident it is a hardware problem but maybe it could be fixed by lowering my settings. I already have my ship and things because I have played on friends' computers. Can anybody help?

you can try and edit 

c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Warframe\EE.cfg

Press Win+R and type in/paste "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Warframe" in the text field and click "Ok". This should open new explorer window and you should see "EE.cfg" file which holds game settings. You can either delete it (which will restore all the settings to default) or try to edit it with notepad. If you're going to delete it, backup it up first just in case.

Try in the Stream Libary right click on Warframe

- Settings

- Start Options

- Type: -w XXXX -h XXX  (example: -w 1920 -h 1080)

[optional]

-freq XXX  (to set the refresh rate of your Monitor)

to change your resolution

 

or type: -autoconfig

that should be reset your ingame setting back to the original

 

but dont know if it works for games with a extra Launcher...

So I went there and got this http://i.imgur.com/7Iv16NT.jpg

Usually when I change cfg settings on other games there is already things filled in for me to replace, any ideas on what to put in here?

It looks like your config file isn't really populated so try deleting it and then running the game launcher.

 

Edit: Turns out Editor.cfg holds some settings as well so you might want to delete that one too.

Ok, so I made the game run, I looked up warframe EE.cfg and found this and edited it to my specifications.

 

Graphics.Borderless=1
Graphics.Brightness=0.78712451
Graphics.Contrast=1.1164761
Graphics.DisplayAspectRatio=WideScreen16x10
Graphics.EnableBloom=0
Graphics.EnableColorCorrection=0
Graphics.EnableDOFMotion=0
Graphics.EnableFXAA=0
Graphics.EnableHDR=0
Graphics.FullScreenSizeX=1920
Graphics.FullScreenSizeY=1080
Graphics.HybridShadows=0
Graphics.LocalReflections=0
Graphics.ShadowQuality=SQ_HIGH
Graphics.TextureQuality=TQ_LOW

[Melchiah]

Graphics.DisplayAspectRatio=WideScreen16x10

Graphics.FullScreenSizeX=1920

Graphics.FullScreenSizeY=1080

if you're running the game in 1920x1080 you might want to change "Graphics.DisplayAspectRatio=WideScreen16x10" to "Graphics.DisplayAspectRatio=WideScreen16x9"

I'm just running it in the lowest possible resolution windowed, does that option still matter?

Not sure but wrong aspect ratio could result in UI problems. You can go to Options->Display and set Aspect Ratio to Auto or 16:9

Ok, I set it to auto and it did widen the window a bit, thank you.
