Field of view (FOV)

60 FPS		Following characters will be more spread apart if frame rate falls below 60 FPS.^[4]
120+ FPS		See High frame rate.

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

Anti-aliasing (AA)

Disable AA in Engine.ini^[5]
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `Engine.ini`. Add `[SystemSettings]` into the file (if not present already), and under it add `r.PostProcessAAQuality=0`.

High frame rate

Set FPS cap in GameUserSettings.ini^[6]

Go to the configuration file(s) location.
Open GameUserSettings.ini.
Add FrameRateLimit=120 under [/Script/Engine.GameUserSettings] where 120 is your desired frame rate.

Frame rates above 60 FPS will make following party member sprites blur and stutter while moving.

High dynamic range display (HDR)

Add HDR commands to engine.ini^{[citation needed]}

Go to the configuration file(s) location.
Open engine.ini, add the following lines, and then save and close the file:

[SystemSettings]
r.HDR.EnableHDROutput=1
r.HDR.UI.CompositeMode=1
r.HDR.UI.Level=2
r.HDR.Display.OutputDevice=5
r.HDR.Display.ColorGamut=2

Dialog bubbles and some UI elements will leave afterimages from barely visible outlines to black full screen

Depth of field

Depth of field sometimes blurs the background and other parts of the game, so some users may find it preferable to disable it.

Disable DOF in Engine.ini^[5]
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `Engine.ini`. Add `[SystemSettings]` into the file, and under it add `r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0`

Bloom
