Other information
Graphical tweaks
- The graphics settings for Alpha Protocol are rather basic. There are some other settings which can be altered in the
APEngine.ini
file which can be found in the following folder:
{{p|userprofile}}\Documents\Alpha Protocol\APGame\Config\APEngine.ini
Before editing the file you must right click it, select properties and uncheck the "read only" box. Editing the following settings should improve the game's graphics (note: it is probably best to make a backup of this file before editing it in case something goes wrong):
Trilinear=True
EnableHighPolyChars=True
MaxShadowResolution=4096
(Set this to 1024, 2048 or 4096 depending on your PC capability)bEnableBranchingPCFShadows=True
bEnableForegroundShadowsOnWorld=True
UseBackgroundLevelStreaming=False
OnlyStreamInTextures=True
OneFrameThreadLag=False
Then set the file to read only again in its properties and launch the game.
