Alpha Protocol
Alpha Protocol is a new IP developed by Obsidian Entertainment.
Graphical Tweaks
The basic 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:
%USERPROFILE%\My 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
- MaxAnisotropy=16 (Set this to 4, 8, or 16 depending on your PC capability)
- 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.
Animation Fixes
In order to fix the incorrect animation settings that make many actions look unnatural edit APGame.ini
in the following folder:
%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Alpha Protocol\APGame\Config\APGame.ini
Find and change the following settings to the values shown:
- InteractDistance=250
- CoverWalkSpeed=75.f
- CoverRunSpeed=125.f
- PlayerRotationSpeed=800000.0f
- MoveSpeedNormal=240
- MoveSpeedScoped=80
- SprintSpeed=320
No Text Visible for Dialog Choices
On some newer GPUs, Antialasing and Anisotropic Filtering may be forced. To get the text to show, disable Antialasing and Anisotropic Filtering for the application. The application is:
