What happened to graphics quality?

Just after first run (initial install) i missed some pop up and now image in main view port is pixelated and ugly. I had stepped away and when I returned pop up had 2 seconds left on a countdown timer. It wasn’t there when I stepped away and I wasn’t fast enough when I returned. I have no clue what it said. I just know things are ugly now in main view port window. I’m brand new to UE and have not been able to figure out how to get it back to smooth and nice. Please help.

Hi biggreenmean,

It sounds like editor adjusted to your system and lowered settings. In Main Menu Bar, click Settings drop down and scroll down to Engine Scalability Settings. There you can bump everything back up. If you’d like to avoid that happening automatically, disable Monitor Editor Performance option.

Hope that helps!

Thank you. That worked perfectly. I figured it was something like that but this is my first UE run so I was lost how to reset it. I’m not sure if it is utilizing my gpu or not and I am also running a second monitor from my laptop that isn’t quite as capable as main laptop screen. That may have triggered it. No matter. Thanks again.
