Command Console

Enable Command Console

Follow the guide to download and set up IGCSInjector
Make sure that IGCSInjector and it's files are copied to "<path-to-game>\EDFIR\Binaries\Win64\"
Open "IGCSInjector.ini", and change "Process=" to "Process=EDFIR-Win64-Shipping.exe"
After the game launches, open "IGCSInjector.exe" to enable the command console.

Notes

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.

Render Percentage

Change Render Percentage

See Command Console to enable the Command Console.
Press the "Tilde" key to open the command console
Enter "r.ScreenPercentage 100", replacing "100" with your desired screen percentage

Notes

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).

Anisotropic filtering (AF)

Change Render Percentage

See Command Console to enable the Command Console.
Press the "Tilde" key to open the command console
Enter "r.MaxAnisotropy xx", replacing "xx" with your desired anisotropic filtering mode

Notes

r.MaxAnisotropy values include 1, 2, 4 (Default), 8, and 16.

Custom Resolution

Change In-Game Resolution

See Command Console to enable the Command Console.
Press the "Tilde" key to open the command console.
Enter "r.SetRes 1920x1080", replacing "1920x1080" with your desired screen resolution

Notes

The game by default uses Vert- FOV Scaling, which requires adjusting the FOV when using a wider/narrower horizontal aspect ratio. See Field of View.

Field of View

Change Field of View
See Command Console to enable the Command Console. Press the "Tilde" key to open the command console Enter "fov xx", replacing "xx" with your desired FOV.

High Frame rate

Change (or unlock) framerate cap

See Command Console to enable the Command Console.
Press the "Tilde" key to open the command console
Enter "t.MaxFPS xx", replacing "xx" with your desired framerate cap.

Notes

"t.MaxFPS 0" doesn't disable the framerate cap. Use "t.MaxFPS 9999" if uncapping the framerate is desired.
