Disable TAA and sharpening (Cheat Engine method)
Use a cheat engine table to disable anti-aliasing and the sharpening filter.[11]
|
- Download and open this Cheat Engine table.
- Run the game, and wait for startup videos to be end (or skip them). This is important, otherwise the patch will crash the game.
- When you'll be at the main menu, click on the checkbox near "
Disable_Patch_AA " in the Cheat Engine table. A new memory record called "TAA " will pop up and will be set to 5 (which means it is disabled, along with the sharpening filter)
- You need to select TAA in the game's graphics menu.

Issues unresolved
Performance drops while using ray-tracing
- Restarting the game occasionally on long play sessions fixes the issue. Lowering the texture quality option also helps keeping VRAM usage low.[15][16]
Issues fixed
- Update Windows 10 to version 2004 or newer.[17][18]
Crash on startup
Stuttering (killing enemies, taking damage, etc.)
Reduce textures setting if graphics card's VRAM is getting exceeded
|
Crashing at loading screens
Game consistently crashes when Image Quality is set specifically to 1.3 with RT enabled. Disable RT or set Image Quality to any value other than 1.3
|
- Tested on AMD Radeon RX6950XT & Ryzen 5800X System with SAM enabled on Driver Version 23.4.2
