STAR WARS Zero Company™ delivers an immersive battlefield experience packed with atmospheric visual effects. However, motion blur often undermines crisp visuals during fast camera movements or quick turns, blurring out crucial details you need to track the action.
Unlike many games, STAR WARS Zero Company™ doesn’t offer a straightforward in-game toggle for motion blur within its graphics settings, leaving players stuck with the effect by default. This can be frustrating when clarity matters most.
The good news is you can manually disable motion blur—and other post-processing effects—by modifying a configuration file. No mods or external software are necessary; editing GameUserSettings.ini is all it takes to sharpen your visuals.
This method also allows you to turn off screen shake, film grain, and chromatic aberration for a cleaner picture, helping you maintain focus without visual distractions during combat.
If you’re seeking a sharp, distraction-free experience in STAR WARS Zero Company™, adjusting these settings provides a reliable solution.
How to Disable Motion Blur in STAR WARS Zero Company™
The key to disabling motion blur lies in tweaking the game’s GameUserSettings.ini file found in the configuration directory on your PC.
Follow these clear steps to locate and edit the file properly.
Step 1: Open the Configuration Folder
Begin by launching the File Explorer on your Windows PC.
Navigate to the following path in your local files:
C:\Users\(YOUR USER)\AppData\Local\SWZeroCompany\Saved\Config\Windows
Make sure to replace (YOUR USER) with your actual Windows username.
Alternatively, there’s a faster way:
Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog box, then type:
%localappdata%\SWZeroCompany\Saved\Config\Windows
Hit Enter to jump straight to the folder where the configuration file resides.
This shortcut avoids manual navigation and is the quickest way to reach the config directory.
Step 2: Open GameUserSettings.ini
Inside the Windows folder, locate the file named:
GameUserSettings.ini
Open this file using Notepad or any other plain text editor you prefer.
Step 3: Find the Visual Effect Settings
Within the file, search for the following lines that govern visual effects:
bScreenShakeEnabled=True
bFilmGrainEnabled=True
bChromaticAberrationEnabled=True
bMotionBlurEnabled=True
These flags represent whether the respective effects are enabled or disabled.
Step 4: Change True to False
To turn off an effect, change the corresponding value from True to False.
For example, this setting block disables all four visual effects:
bScreenShakeEnabled=False
bFilmGrainEnabled=False
bChromaticAberrationEnabled=False
bMotionBlurEnabled=False
There’s no need to modify any other parts of the config file.
Save the changes to GameUserSettings.ini and restart STAR WARS Zero Company™ for the changes to take effect.
You’ll now notice that motion blur and any other disabled effects like screen shake or film grain are no longer active, providing a sharper and clearer image.
What Do These Settings Do?
If you want to disable only motion blur, adjust just the bMotionBlurEnabled line without affecting others.
Here’s a quick reference for each setting’s effect:
| Setting | Effect Description |
|---|---|
bScreenShakeEnabled |
Toggles the screen shake during gameplay |
bFilmGrainEnabled |
Controls the presence of film grain overlay |
bChromaticAberrationEnabled |
Manages colored distortion around screen edges |
bMotionBlurEnabled |
Turns motion blur on or off |
For only motion blur, change this:
bMotionBlurEnabled=True
to this:
bMotionBlurEnabled=False
Disabling other effects alongside motion blur can enhance visual clarity further if you prefer.
Can’t Find the Folder?
If the configuration folder does not appear, avoid creating it manually.
Instead, use the Run command shortcut to access the folder easily.
Press Windows + R, then input:
%localappdata%\SWZeroCompany\Saved\Config\Windows
and hit Enter.
This quickly opens the config directory without manually navigating through your user folders.
If the folder still isn’t there, ensure STAR WARS Zero Company™ has been launched at least once so that it can generate necessary configuration files.
Does This Fix Grainy Hair and Facial Hair?
Not necessarily.
Some players find that character hair and facial hair textures remain grainy or blurry despite disabling these settings. The options only control screen shake, film grain, chromatic aberration, and motion blur effects broadly.
So, if hair still looks blurry after tweaking these files, it likely stems from separate rendering or texture issues unrelated to these visual effects.
Final Words
Disabling motion blur in STAR WARS Zero Company™ requires editing configuration files rather than toggling in-game settings.
Manually changing GameUserSettings.ini lets you regain control over visual effects like motion blur, screen shake, film grain, and chromatic aberration.
Simply open the file, find the four visual effect lines, and switch from True to False where you want effects disabled.
For players only bothered by motion blur, flipping bMotionBlurEnabled to False is sufficient. But disabling all four effects can offer a noticeably cleaner and crisper gameplay experience.
