{{ii}} The reason using the command console injector is required is because the game automatically overwrites INI files, and changes console variables that handle graphics/resolution settings on startup, when changing in-game settings, and when entering gameplay from the main menu. They also need to be re-entered every time the game is launched.

'''Notes'''
 
'''Notes'''
−
{{ii}} The reason this is recommended is because the game defaults to an "r.ScreenPercentage" value around the 60-75% range, which makes the game not display at the chosen screen resolution. You can go lower to upscale from a lower resolution while keeping the in-game UI at the chosen screen resolution, or you can go higher to downsample from a higher resolution, which serves as a form of [[#Anti-aliasing (AA)|Anti-aliasing (AA)]].
+
{{ii}} r.MaxAnisotropy values include 1, 2, 4 (Default), 8, and 16.

Essential improvements

EDFix

EDFix increases the internal resolution for better image quality (and also allows for manually adjusting it). Without EDFix, the game defaults to 83.33% resolution scaling.
Install EDFix
  1. Download the latest version of EDFix or the mirrored version.
  2. Extract the contents of the ".zip" file to <path-to-game>\EDFIR\Binaries\Win64\

Notes

Allows to set a custom FOV, FPS cap, resolution scale, motion blur setting, and anisotropic filtering setting inside of the config.ini that can be found in the plugins folder.
