    "An accomplished interplay of tactical and strategic challenges with some dissatisfying but thematically appropriate compromises, and poor performance."

    Setting Render Passes to Low equals with game's then default AF is equal regarding texture filtering to when setting render passes to low with AF forced to 0x though the graphics control panel. Though, when setting Render Passes to max shows clear AF, which mostly resembles forced 8x AF. Though, have to remark that the Render Passes setting adjusts a lot of aspects of the game's rendering, thus these results aren't 100% reliable.

    Artifacts in-game totally does not look like TAA softness and in the registry settings "ScreenAA" is mentioned (set to "1", thus enabled); most likely pointing to FXAA as that is often referred to as "screen anti-aliasing" in the world. Also, foliage shows lots of shimmering with all settings to Ultra and FSR 1.0 off, most likely also ruling out any MSAA and TAA.
