SMAA
- Lots of jaggies even on MSAA 8x. This injected form will smooth edges better, and give crisper picture than TSAA.

Issues fixed
Cannot select higher resolution than native one when using Nvidia DSR or AMD VSR
Set resolution in videoconfig.txt[9] |
---|
|
- Please note changing video settings in-game will reset the resolution to whatever is selected in the game menu.
Game too dark or (with higher brightness) colors are washed out
- Titanfall 2 only lets you adjust brightness, not gamma level.
Use external injector[10] |
---|
Use an external tool such as SweetFX (function "Lift Gamma Gain") to increase the gamma level of the image. |
Selecting Video settings in game causes crash or Titanfall 2 only launches in windowed mode
- Because of Desktop Scaling in Windows 10, Titanfall 2 has difficulty running in Full-screen mode and/or crashes when going into Video Settings.
In Nvidia Control Panel, under "Adjust desktop size and position", either select "no scaling" or put "Perform scaling" on GPU. |
---|
Now the game should launche in Fullscreen mode without crashing and you can use the in-game video settings menu without crashes. |

Notes
- These commands can be bound to any keys, not just
f5
andf9
, and the save file can have any name, just notsavegame
as that's the default autosave or checkpoint file name. - Despite "checkpoint saved" being shown upon each quicksave, quicksaving and quickloading is independent from the checkpoint/respawn system.

- "On Titanfall we started with the Source engine; we replaced the renderer, we replaced the audio system, we replaced the net code. What we have now is very different from that. We have stuck with the Titanfall engine, but we did a lot of rendering improvements.There has been a whole bunch of areas where we make big changes to the engine, so there’s not a lot of Source left; we continue to rip out chunks and rewrite chunks and make it do exactly what we want to get out of this engine, and get the performance what we’re looking for."
