Default INI fileThis is a link to the default ini file/text in case you don't want to use the other ini's anymore. You can copy & paste it into your BaseDeviceProfiles file.DownloadSource
PvP/FPS INI fileThis is a link to the PvP/FPS ini file. This makes water clear, caves clear, but removes tek helmet functionality, snow owl and bloodstalker vision. Recommended if you want a simple ini to see things clear.DownloadSource
Soft INI fileThis is a link to the Soft ini file. It has main features of the PvP/FPS ini file, except it allows tek helmet functionality, and you have to wear full scuba or tek suit to see underwater clear, otherwise it's normal.DownloadSource
Pretty INI fileThis is a link to the Pretty ini file. This is closer to default style of ark for those who want to have some ini advantages but don't want the game to look bad.DownloadSource
Hard INI fileThis is a link to the Hard ini file. Does what other ini's do and more. It will remove tree leaves, water and make most weapons/items black. This is a very strong ini and there's quite a few disadvantages such as not seeing structure placement, not seeing aberration metal, silicia pearls and some trees, no tek helmet functionality, no tek projectiles or tek replicator/tek generator illumination.DownloadSource
