Lollipop Chainsaw RePop is a fairly successful remaster of the quirky slasher from the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 era, recently debuting on PC and current consoles. The PC port is decent and runs well, but the lack of graphical settings aside from resolution options is somewhat odd, especially since the game now runs on the well-scaled Unreal Engine 5. In this guide, you’ll learn how to optimize the game on PC, Steam Deck, and other handheld devices.
Lollipop Chainsaw RePop – How to Change Game Settings on PC?
File Path Access
Before starting the process, launch the game at least once!
- On Windows, the graphical settings files are located in a hidden folder:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\lollipop\Saved\Config\Windows\
To access it, simply copy the path, press ALT+R, paste it into the empty field, and then press enter. - On Steam Deck, the files are located, as usual, in the CompatData folder.
The path to it is:/home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/2658450/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/lollipop/Saved/Config/
Here, copy/paste should work as well – if not, manually search for the folder. 2658450 is the default number for the original game in the Steam version.
Changing the Graphical Settings for Lollipop Chainsaw RePop on PC
We are primarily interested in the GameUserSettings.ini file – open it with a text editor.
By default, the game runs on maximum graphical settings:
[ScalabilityGroups]
sg.ResolutionQuality=XX
sg.ViewDistanceQuality=3
sg.AntiAliasingQuality=3
sg.ShadowQuality=3
sg.GlobalIlluminationQuality=3
sg.ReflectionQuality=3
sg.PostProcessQuality=3
sg.TextureQuality=3
sg.EffectsQuality=3
sg.FoliageQuality=3
sg.ShadingQuality=3
Depending on your needs, changing the number from 3 to 2 or 1 lowers the quality of specific details.
For sg.ResolutionQuality, you can input a number to scale the resolution:
- 67 corresponds to quality modes for standard scalers like DLSS, FSR, or XeSS
- 58 is balanced mode
- 50 is performance mode
Of course, you can input any value you like. After making changes, save the file.
Additional Tweaks
If you’d like to further improve visual quality, I recommend editing the Engine.ini file and pasting the following at the end:
[SystemSettings]
r.MaxAnisotropy=16
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0
r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=2
r.PostProcessAAQuality=4
r.TemporalAA.Upsampling=1
r.TemporalAA.Algorithm=1
r.ScreenPercentage=XX
This forces anisotropic filtering, disables noise effects and chromatic aberration. Additionally, it improves resolution scaling by forcing TAAU – just ensure that r.ScreenPercentage=XX matches sg.ResolutionQuality=XX in the GameUserSettings.ini file.
Optimized Lollipop Chainsaw RePop Settings for Steam Deck
By default, Lollipop Chainsaw RePop runs at 30FPS on the Steam Deck. However, with the following tweaks, you can enjoy a very stable 60FPS with solid visuals. Frame drops occur only during cutscenes, map loading, or explosions, but these are rare instances.
GameUserSettings.ini
[ScalabilityGroups]
sg.ResolutionQuality=67
sg.ViewDistanceQuality=1
sg.AntiAliasingQuality=3
sg.ShadowQuality=1
sg.GlobalIlluminationQuality=1
sg.ReflectionQuality=1
sg.PostProcessQuality=2
sg.TextureQuality=3
sg.EffectsQuality=1
sg.FoliageQuality=2
sg.ShadingQuality=2
Engine.ini
[SystemSettings]
r.MaxAnisotropy=16
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0
r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=2
r.PostProcessAAQuality=4
r.TemporalAA.Upsampling=1
r.TemporalAA.Algorithm=1
r.ScreenPercentage=67
These settings should scale well for other handhelds with higher resolutions, such as the Asus Rog Ally with Z1 Extreme or Lenovo Legion Go. If you have extra performance headroom, you can simply tweak individual settings or increase the rendering resolution.
