Gal*Gun 2 uses Temporal AA (TAA) by Default, like most games that use Unreal Engine 4. While this does a somewhat decent job at removing aliasing, it does introduce motion artifacts and flicker. This can be changed between FXAA and TAA by adding "[/Script/Engine.RendererSettings]r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=1" to the "Engine.ini" file in "%localappdata%/GalGun2/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor", and by changing between 1 or 2. You also have the option of disabling AA entirely, and instead use downsampling from a high resolution (Such as 2160p/4K).

When using the ReVive patch with Windows Mixed Reality, there is a chance that your player height might be significantly taller than intended.

Game executable needs to be de-obfuscated using Steamless before applying the fix.
Edit GalGun2-Win64-Shipping.exe with a hex editor[1]
21:9 screenshot with the aforementioned tweaks
21:9 screenshot with the aforementioned tweaks
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\GalGun2\Binaries\Win64
  2. Open GalGun2-Win64-Shipping.exe in a hex editor, such as HxD.
  3. Search for 35 FA 0E 3C 6F 12 and replace with 35 FA 3E 3C 6F 12 for a 21:9 aspect ratio, EF F4 38 3C 6F 12 for a 32:9 aspect ratio, or EF D4 83 3C 6F 12 for a 48:9 (3x 16:9) aspect ratio.

Notes

This hex edit does not affect the VR mode.[2]
A small number of UI elements (such as the timer and counter in daydream segments) are anchored towards the left side of the screen.

Borderless fullscreen windowed

Instructions[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open GameUserSettings.ini.
  3. Change PreferedFullscreenMode= to "1"
  4. Change LastConfirmedFullscreenMode= to "1"
  5. Change FullscreenMode= to "1"
  6. Save GameUserSettings.ini
If you want to run in Exclusive Fullscreen Mode, Change LastConfirmedFullscreenMode=, alongside the other mentioned strings to "0"

Anisotropic filtering (AF)

Instructions[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Scalability.ini.
  3. Add [TextureQuality@3], replacing the number with the sg.TextureQuality= setting that you are using in GameUserSettings.ini
  4. Below that line, add r.MaxAnisotropy=xx, replacing the "xx" with the desired Anisotropic Filtering mode (0= Disabled, 2= 2X Aniso, 4= 4X Aniso, 8= 8X Aniso, 16= 16X Aniso.
  5. Save Scalability.ini

Anti-aliasing (AA)

Instructions[citation needed]
Gal*Gun 2 uses Temporal AA (TAA) by Default, like most games that use Unreal Engine 4. While this does a somewhat decent job at removing aliasing, it does introduce motion artifacts.
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Engine.ini.
  3. On the bottom of the file, add "[/Script/Engine.RendererSettings]"
  4. Below that, add r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=, and make the value 1 (FXAA), or 2 (TemporalAA)
  5. Save Engine.ini
If you just want to remove Anti-Aliasing entirely, you can go to GameUserSettings.ini, and change sg.AntiAliasingQuality= to "0"

Vertical sync (Vsync)

Instructions[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open GameUserSettings.ini.
  3. Change bUseVSync= to "True"
  4. Save GameUserSettings.ini

Screen fading Removal

Instructions[citation needed]
Removes the dark fading that occurs in VR Mode when you get too close to a wall, object, prop, or character
Requires going into "<path-to-game>\GalGun2\Content\Paks", and removing the "-WindowsNoEditor" suffix from GalGun2-WindowsNoEditor.pak, and GalGun2-WindowsNoEditor.sig before copying the ModPawn.pak and ModPawn.sig files to that directory.

Issues unresolved

Tall player height when using the ReVive patch with Windows Mixed Reality

When using the ReVive patch with Windows Mixed Reality, there is a chance that your player height might be significantly taller than intended. This may result in darkness (without crouching or bending over) when not using the Screen Fading Removal Fix, or your head being through the roof with it.

Issues fixed

"The UE4-GalGun2 Game has crashed and will close, Fatal error!"

If using the ReVive patch with Windows Mixed Reality, install the Oculus Rift Software

Download and Install the Oculus Rift Software from the Oculus website.

This crashing issue can still occur, even when not playing in VR mode, if you have the ReVive Patch Binaries in the game's "<path-to-game>\GalGun2\Binaries\Win64" directory

No Input with Windows Mixed Reality, or SteamVR "can't find "action_manifest.json"" when using ReVive

Copy "manifest" and "default" .json files to AppData directory.
  1. Go to where ReVive v1.7.3 is installed (e.g: C:\Program Files\Revive)
  2. Copy all of the .json files in the Input sub-directory to %APPDATA%\Revive\Input.

The game crashes a few seconds after starting with no error message

Block the game from accessing deprecated internet services[3]
  1. Run a text editor (e.g. Notepad) as administrator.
  2. Open the file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (on Windows), or /etc/hosts (on Linux).
  3. At the bottom, add the line: 0.0.0.0 datarouter.ol.epicgames.com datarouter-weighted.ol.epicgames.com
  4. Save the file.
