Key points

DICE-developed engine that is used in many EA projects.

Video

Ultra-widescreen

Most games running on the engine use a Hor+ ultrawide image...
...though the cutscenes will most likely be pillarboxed.

Games set to windowed mode open at 1280x720

Change the desired resolution

Using the guide below, create a file titled user.cfg on the game's installation directory and paste the following, modifying the numbers listed below to your desired resolution:

Window.Width 1920
Window.Height 1080

Frame rate (FPS)

Unlocking the frame rate

Using the guide below, create a file titled user.cfg on the game's installation directory and paste the following:

GameTime.MaxVariableFPS 0

Where '0' unlocks the framerate, allowing the game to go above the 200FPS cap.

Star Wars Battlefront II's Instant Action may have issues that can be resolved with an FPS cap to either 60 or 30.

Anti-aliasing (AA)

TAA will most likely be forced on with no option to disable. Workarounds do exist to disable it, though they differ depending on the game.

Other information

Developer console

Some Frostbite games have a built-in developer console that can be called up by pressing ~. Some commands are listed below.
These commands can be executed when the game launches by creating a file titled user.cfg in the game installation folder.
