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, found in the configuration files folder.

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. It is highly recommended to make a backup of this file before editing it.

  • Trilinear=True
  • EnableHighPolyChars=True
  • MaxShadowResolution=4096 (If you experience framerate issues, this can be lowered to 2048 or 1024)
  • bEnableBranchingPCFShadows=True
  • bEnableForegroundShadowsOnWorld=True
  • UseBackgroundLevelStreaming=False
  • OnlyStreamInTextures=True
  • OneFrameThreadLag=False

Afterwards, check the "read only" box in the file's properties.
