Dragon Ball FighterZ: Best Config for Online Match Stability

The objective of this configuration is to eliminate “micro-stutter” during high-impact cinematics (like Level 3 Supers) and to optimize the Asynchronous Loading of character assets.

File Path & Access

File Path: %LOCALAPPDATA%\DBFighterZ\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Press Win + R on your keyboard, paste the path above, and press Enter.
2. Locate Engine.ini. (Backup the file as Engine_Backup.ini before editing).
3. Right-click and open with Notepad.
4. Paste the configuration block below at the very end of the file.
5. Important: Also locate Settings.ini in the same folder to ensure VSync is forced off at the engine level.

Optimized “Rollback-Ready” Configuration Block

[SystemSettings]
r.VSync=0
r.GTSyncType=1
r.FinishCurrentFrame=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.Streaming.PoolSize=2048
r.Shaders.Optimize=1
s.AsyncLoadingThreadEnabled=True
s.PriorityAsyncLoadingExtraTime=5.0

[ConsoleVariables]
net.MaxRPCPerFrame=100

Parameter Details & Technical Purpose

Parameter	Recommended Value	Technical Purpose
r.GTSyncType	1	The Latency Fix. Synchronizes the Game Thread and Render Thread to minimize input lag.
r.VSync	0	Disables VSync to prevent the added input delay of ~16-32ms, critical for hit-confirms.
s.AsyncLoadingThreadEnabled	True	Prevents the game from hitching when loading Assist character models mid-match.
r.SceneColorFringeQuality	0	Disables Chromatic Aberration for maximum visual clarity on fast-moving character sprites.
net.MaxRPCPerFrame	100	Increases the packet throughput to ensure Rollback data is processed without bottlenecking.

Best Practices for 2026 Online Competitive Play

To maintain the “Godly Optimized” status of your DBFZ setup, follow these additional GameEngineer.net technical steps:

• Ethernet is Mandatory: Even in 2026, Rollback Netcode cannot fully compensate for Packet Jitter inherent in Wi-Fi. Always use a wired connection to maintain a steady 1-2 frame delay/rollback.
• Fullscreen Mode Override: Right-click DBFighterZ.exe > Properties > Compatibility > Check “Disable Fullscreen Optimizations.” This ensures Windows 11 doesn’t add its own compositor latency to your inputs.
• Resolution Scale Calibration: In the in-game settings, keep Resolution Scale at 100. Setting it higher (e.g., 200) looks crisp but increases the GPU frame time ($T_{gpu}$), which can cause desyncs during flashy cinematic transitions.
• Anti-Virus Exclusion: DBFZ uses Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC). Add the game’s installation folder to your Anti-Virus exclusion list to prevent the scanner from checking game files during the match, which is a common cause of “random” freezes.
