Notes
|
Widescreen resolution
Edit GamerProfile.xml[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
Disable depth of field
- This only disables depth of field on background and when not aiming.
- This enhances antialiasing on forests and objects that are near, stabilizes the frame rate fluctuation, fixes the low-res textures on the background and can give a huge FPS boost in open view areas, for example, on the top of a tower.
Edit GamerProfile.xml[citation needed] |
---|
|
Disable HDR
- Disabling HDR improves performance.
Edit GamerProfile.xml[citation needed] |
---|
|
Disable ambient occlusion
- Ambient occlusion can't be disabled completely through the in-game settings when playing in DirectX 11, only switched to various techniques available (SSAO, HBAO, HDAO).
- Use of SSAO makes MSAA useless because the way it's implemented[3]
Edit GamerProfile.xml[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
Disable motion blur
- Disabling also helps to reduce input lag.
- Even if motion blur is handled by PostFX setting, completely disabling PostFX doesn't seem to work. It can be disabled with
<post>
in configuration file but game seems to remove it with every launch.

Notes
|
Game stuck on first skill tree

Disable TabletInputService in Task Manager[9] |
---|
|

---|
Launch the game in Win8 or Win7 compatibility mode. |
Resolution issues before launching

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/220240/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (220240) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
