Post-processing

Disable Vignette
Go to the configuration file location. Open Engine.ini with a text editor. Add the following text at the bottom of the file: [SystemSettings] r.Tonemapper.Quality=0 Save the file. Removes the always-on vignette which also works for VR.

Disable Fog

The game has a blue fog filter that raises the black level. Go to the configuration file location. Open Engine.ini with a text editor. Add the following text at the bottom of the file: [SystemSettings] r.Fog=0 Save the file. Brings out the game's inky blacks while retaining all atmospheric/artistic fog in the game world. Removing the fog exposes areas of the map not intended to be seen during normal gameplay.

Anti-aliasing (AA)

In-game AA settings broken, doesn't turn off TAA

Change AA method to FXAA by editing a config file
Go to the configuration file location. Open Engine.ini with a text editor. Add the following text at the bottom of the file: [SystemSettings] r.AntiAliasingMethod=1 r.FXAAQuality=5 r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=1 Save the file. You can adjust the strength of the sharpening effect from 0.0 to 10.0 This makes the game much clearer while still providing some form of anti-aliasing. Recommended for VR users.

Completely remove AA by editing a config file
Go to the configuration file location. Open Engine.ini with a text editor. Add the following text at the bottom of the file: [SystemSettings] r.AntiAliasingMethod=0 Save the file. This makes the game clear and sharp This method has the most aliasing.
