Increase FOV by setting its value to vertical in a config file[4]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Engine.ini in a text editor.
  3. Add the following lines:
[/Script/Engine.LocalPlayer]
AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV
Results in a significant FOV increase outside of split screen.

Anti-aliasing (AA)

Enable AA sharpening through a config file[4]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/914750/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (914750) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  2. ↑ Side by side for two players; spanned top and separated bottom for three; matching the screen aspect ratio for each of four.
