    Tested using Universal Unreal Engine 4 Unlocker and checking how the "Anti-Aliasing Quality" setting affects the "r.PostProcessAAQuality" variable, which is used to determine what kind of AA, if any, is used (see https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/TestingAndOptimization/PerformanceAndProfiling/Scalability/ScalabilityReference/#anti-aliasing for more detail).
