Screenspace Reflection Problem

Game mode: Single-player
**Type of issue: Misc
Server type: PvP
Region: NA


This has been bugging me a lot lately. No matter what I do, I cannot get the water to reflect anything on the edges of my screen. The SSR cone is too narrow and I can’t use the console or .ini files to increase it (doing so has no effect.) I have tried disabling reflections altogether and that also does nothing at all in-game. Can I get some help or an explanation, please? It’s driving me crazy.


  1. Look at water.
  2. Observe the edges of the screen.
  3. Look down to make it worse.

They did something a few updates back and added this in. I don’t think there is a way to change it tbh.

Well hopefully me just straight up saying “the SSR cone is too small” helps because that seems to be exactly what the problem is. It’s a setting they have locked for some reason, but fixing it on their end is as simple as editing one line of code.

As far as I remember it was changed to make night darker. I could be wrong but that is what I did hear at one point. I would like it changed as well.

Hello @TheHourMan, thank you for reaching out, we’ll forward this feedback to the team.

Thanks for the reply! If removing these artifacts is impossible, allowing players to turn on planar reflections would solve it, but it would be more resource heavy on their pc than SSR. I personally would be happy to sacrifice a bit of performance on ultra effects to have planar reflections.
