Essential improvements
- TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game.
Performance boost
- This command disables the engine's deferred compute shader lighting path. This may give a large FPS boost in open, outdoor areas, but possibly may reduce performance in heavily lit scenes. Most users report only the performance boost, including inside closed areas.
- This command provides no graphical change.
WorldRender.DxDeferredCsPathEnable false or DxDeferredCsPathEnable 0[citation needed] |

Notes
|
Optimal video settings
- You may use any configuration with-which you are satisfied. The following tips serve to balance graphical fidelity, function and performance.
- Setting textures to High may eliminate texture pop-in, if it is happening to you.
- Setting effects to Low is recommended. Other levels show no particular improvement, it only adds a little bloom around fire sparkles.[4]
- Settings mesh to Ultra is recommended as it allows you to spot enemies at a greater distance.
- Set anisotropic filtering to the maximum value your PC can handle. Better AF comes as a minimal (or none) performance cost and significantly improves graphical fidelity.
Play the game without Origin
- Warning: no official word from EA, proceed at your own risk.
