Adjust Shader Settings for Your Hardware

Access the Shader Menu

Press the key to open the shader options menu (default is usually a dedicated key in the pause screen or shader settings panel). You'll see a list of adjustable parameters organized by category.

Choose Your Performance Profile

Look for the profile or quality preset option. Nythra offers multiple tiers designed for different systems:

• Low-end profiles reduce shadow detail, lower water quality, and simplify lighting calculations to maintain smooth framerates on modest hardware
• Mid-range profiles balance visual fidelity with performance
• High-end/cinematic profiles enable full shadow resolution, advanced water reflections, and enhanced lighting effects

Select the profile that matches your PC's capabilities.

Fine-Tune Individual Settings

Once you've chosen a base profile, you can adjust specific features:

• Shadow distance and softness
• Water reflection quality and wave intensity
• Lighting saturation and contrast
• Ambient light levels for nighttime visibility

Make small changes and observe the impact on both visuals and framerate. Save your configuration when satisfied.
