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.

It also allows for the 60 FPS cap to be removed (or manually adjusted), custom FOV (With aspect ratio compensation), 21:9/32:9/4:3 support (as it removes the 16:9 pillarboxing/letterboxing, and has aspect ratio compensation), adjusting motion blur quality (or removing it altogether if desired), and adjusting anisotropic texture filtering.

Install EDFix

Download the latest version of EDFix, or download the mirrored version.
Extract the contents of the ".zip" file to <path-to-game>\EDFIR\Binaries\Win64\

Notes

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