Anti-aliasing (AA)
Anti-Aliasing option uses TAA by default. See Anti-Aliasing (AA) for SSAA/downsampling.
Vertical sync (Vsync)
60 FPS and 120+ FPS
As of Patch 1.4, Framerate can be set higher than 120, up to 240 in ingame settings. To set the cap higher than 240, see High frame rate. Note that, FPS Limit = OFF, cap the fps at 120.
High dynamic range display (HDR)
See the engine page to force native HDR output, or the glossary page for other alternatives.
The game engine may allow for manual configuration of the game via its variables. See the Unreal Engine 4 page for more details.

  • FOV at 16:9 resolutions

  • FOV at 21:9 resolutions

  • FOV at 32:9 resolutions

  • FOV and HUD at 48:9

Anti-Aliasing (AA)

Adjust r.ScreenPercentage for downsampling[5]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Engine.ini with a text editor.
  3. Add [SystemSettings] to the bottom of the file, if that section doesn't already exist.
  4. Inside that section, add r.ScreenPercentage=100 where 100 is the desired resolution percentage.

High frame rate

Adjust the Framerate Cap using GameUserSettings.ini
  1. Browse to the configuration file(s) location, and open GameUserSettings.ini.
  2. Change FrameRateLimit=0.000000 to FrameRateLimit=XXX.000000, replacing "XXX" with the desired framerate limit.
  3. Save GameUserSettings.ini.
By default, when using "0", or set the FPS Limit to "off' ingame, the game will cap the fps to 120, but this cap can be adjusted to go higher.
