Missing 30fps Frame Rate Option
Some displays might not be able to see the 30fps Frame Rate option in the video settings. To solve this change your desktop refresh rate to 30 Hz.
Anisotropic Filtering is not working correctly
Forcing AF in the driver settings will cause it to not work correctly. Set Anisotropic Filtering to Application-controlled in your graphics card driver and then change it to your desired value in game.
