Real Racing 3

Change details and graphics quality in Real Racing 3

I've found a simpler way to set graphics quality manually - no root required! :laugh:
For example it should give you real-time reflections and real-time shadows on Nexus 7.

Note: Tested FPS on Faux' kernel for Nexus 7 with 1.3 GHz maximum and FPS Meter.
All measured in the same race with a Dodge Charger @ Suzuka route with "endless" cars, until time is running out
Low ~ 44 FPS, Mid ~ 37 FPS, High ~ 22 FPS - all are average values.
So I recommend 'Mid' setting for Nexus 7 and optimum quality/performance on an average "stock" setting!
(If you overclocked your device to 1.4/1.5 GHz, the "High" setting perhaps would be optimal too)

So here we go...

Use a file explorer of your choice on your device and go to...
/sdcard/Android/data/com.ea..games.r3_row/.depot/eds/
or depending on your installation...
/sdcard/Android/data/com.ea..games.r3_na/.depot/eds/

Here you have 4 files:

AndroidLow.plist (blurry textures, no real-time reflections only shadows from bridges, car has blob shadow) > Nexus 7 default
AndroidMid.plist (normal textures, no real-time reflections only shadows from bridges, car has real-time shadow)
AndroidHigh.plist (normal textures, real-time reflections of environment and bridges, car has real-time shadow) > Galaxy S3 default
AndroidXtraHigh.plist (no visible difference to AndroidHigh.plist)

How to change the config:

Just check what config file your device is currently using - or guess it by comparing with the screenshots I've posted - and rename it to "__Android..." to have a backup if the method isn't working for you. Then select the choosen config file, copy it and rename it to the name you changed above.

For example:

Your screen looks like the first image (blurry textures and blob shadow) and you want real-time shadow but no real-time reflections.
You rename "AndroidLow.plist" to "__AndroidLow.plist" and then make a copy of "AndroidMid.plist".
Now rename the copied file to "AndroidLow.plist" and there you go.

This worked for me on my Galaxy S3 (where I had real-time reflections) and Nexus 7 (where I had even no real-time shadows).
So I guess it works with all others too

I am not responsible for any damage you do to your device

Compare from Low to XtraHigh ("XtraHigh" has no noticeable difference to "High", perhaps view distance?)

LOW (blurry textures, no real-time reflections, car has blob shadow)


MID (normal textures, no real-time reflections, car has real-time shadow)


HIGH (normal textures, real-time reflections of environment, car has real-time shadow)


XTRAHIGH (no visible difference to AndroidHigh.plist)

Just another quick tip.

If you want to transfer you progress from device to device, go to
Then copy character.dat and profile.dat and paste them to the root of your sdcard.

Then upload em to where ever.. and download em and paste em in the same location on the other device. Restart the app and it'll be transfered. Did this with my N4 to my N7.

I'm in New Zealand will upload an apk when home from work
