Anti-aliasing (AA)

Use Unreal 4 resolution scale[5]
  1. Navigate to configuration file location.
  2. Open Engine.ini with preferred text editor.
  3. At the end of the file, add the following and add two Enters after it:
[ConsoleVariables]
r.ScreenPercentage=100
  1. Change 100 to your desired value. 200 means double the dimensions from resolution selected in settings menu.
  2. Save the changes and start the game.

Notes

As things like UI and menus are untouched, avoids unwanted blurring effects on these which could happen with driver solutions like Nvidia DSR.
Does not improve model resolution in dialogue scenes or inventory.

Gamma correction

Add Display Gamma to Engine.ini[6][7]
  1. Navigate to configuration file location.
  2. Open Engine.ini with preferred text editor.
  3. At the end of the file, add the following and add two Enters after it:
[/Script/Engine.Engine]
DisplayGamma=2.0
  1. Change 2.0 to your desired value. The default gamma setting is 2.0.
  2. Save the changes and start the game.

Notes

Adjusting the in-game Brightness setting can help balance the newly adjusted gamma levels. However, it is advised to not go below gamma values of 1.0 or the game will become incredibly too dark to see.

Post-processing

Toggles for cel shading, bloom, HUD, damage numbers, and black screen transitions.
