Graphics settings

Graphics feature	State	WSGF	Notes
Widescreen resolution			Only 16:9 and 16:10 resolutions are selectable when using "Fullscreen". See Widescreen resolution for a workaround.
Multi-monitor			See Ultra-widescreen.
Ultra-widescreen			Hor+ gameplay with centered HUD. Menus and loading screens are pillarboxed.
4K Ultra HD			If Windows is set to higher than 100% scaling (hi-DPI mode), fullscreen mode must be enabled in the game settings. Otherwise, with borderless windowed mode (default mode) enabled, the game upscales low-res graphics to 4k with no filtering.
Field of view (FOV)
Windowed
Borderless fullscreen windowed		Labelled "Windowed Fullscreen".
Anisotropic filtering (AF)		See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
Anti-aliasing (AA)		FXAA with "Very Low/Low/Medium/High/Very High" presets. TAA, TSR, and SSAA can be forced; See Anti-aliasing (AA).
Vertical sync (Vsync)
60 FPS and 120+ FPS		Support for up to 120 FPS added in the update on 05/28/2024.
High dynamic range display (HDR)		See the engine page to force native HDR output, or the glossary page for other alternatives.
Ray tracing (RT)
Color blind mode		Under Interface, player colors may be changed at discretion.

The game engine may allow for manual configuration of the game via its variables. See the Unreal Engine 5 page for more details.

The game engine may allow for manual configuration of the game via its variables. See the Unreal Engine 4 page for more details.

Widescreen resolution

Force any resolution in Exclusive fullscreen mode
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open GameUserSettings.ini. Change the following values: ResolutionSizeX=2560 ResolutionSizeY=1080 LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=2560 LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=1080 ... FullscreenMode=0 LastConfirmedFullscreenMode=0 PreferredFullscreenMode=0

Anti-aliasing (AA)

Enable SSAA

Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open Engine.ini. Add [/script/engine.streamingsettings] to the bottom if it is not already there. Add r.ScreenPercentage=150 below the previously mentioned line. Notes Values between 100.000000 and 200.000000 are recommended. If using a value that isn't a multiple of 100, forcing TAA is recommended. The width of outlines around characters is dependent on rendering resolution; Rendering at higher than 2160p can make outlines on opponents difficult to see. It is recommended when forcing SSAA to enable TAA (Temporal Anti Aliasing), which can produce smoother edges, but looks grainy in motion.
