Video settings

Anti-aliasing (AA)

Enable SSAA
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open GameUserSettings.ini. Change ScreenPercentage=100.000000 to the desired value. Notes Values between 100.000000 and 200.000000 are recommended.

Enable TAA

Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open Engine.ini. Add this at the bottom: [SystemSettings] Next add the following lines below the previous one r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=2 r.TemporalAACurrentFrameWeight=0.2 r.TemporalAASamples=32 r.TemporalAASharpness=0.8 r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=1 Notes TAA (Temporal Anti Aliasing) is a sharper form of AA than the default FXAA, however it causes blurryness during motion.

High frame rate

Unlock the frame rate
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open GameUserSettings.ini. Change FrameRateLimit=60.000000 to the desired value. Notes The value will reset to default after entering the framerate option menu ingame.

Improve graphics quality

Increase draw distance
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open Engine.ini. Add this at the bottom: [SystemSettings] Next add these 2 lines below the previous one for improved draw distances r.ViewDistanceScale=10 r.SkeletalMeshLODBias=-2 Notes Expect around 5 fps drop in open fields with these settings.

Add sharpen filter
Also below [SystemSettings], you can add r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=1 to sharpen the image to offset the blur caused by FXAA. The value can be lowered/increased to your preference. It has no performance impact.
