Turning off bloom in Burnout Paradise

burnout-paradisepc

I am running Burnout Paradise on a laptop with a Core 2 Duo processor and an Intel X3100 GMA integrated graphics card. With all the settings in the menus turned down to minimum, the game is actually quite playable (although not at a very high framerate in the downtown areas).

I have noticed that even through all the graphical options are either off or at their lowest settings, bloom is still on. This is depriving me of precious frames per second I require for getting my Burnout Paradise license. I located a config file in C:\Users\James\AppData\Local\Criterion Games\Burnout Paradise\Config.ini, but there isn't even an option for HDR or bloom in it.

Am I out of luck, or can I turn this effect off?

Best Answer

I've found this mod which might solve the problem. However, under "Performance Tips" at the bottom of the page it states:

Bloom almost not decrease game speed, use it as you wish.

So turning it on might not give you that extra framerate you desire.

NOTE: Use this at your own discretion.
