Anti-aliasing (AA)

By default the game only has FXAA option for anti-aliasing.
MSAA[citation needed]
This method only works on NVIDIA graphics cards and on requires a 16:9 resolution.
  1. Open The Wolf Among Us driver profile via NVIDIA Profile Inspector.
  2. Change Antialiasing compatibility to 0x204002C1[2]
  3. Change Antialiasing - Mode to Override any application setting
  4. Change Antialiasing - Setting to 4x [4x Multisampling] or 8xQ [8x Multisampling]
  5. Apply changes.

Notes

Shadows will not be sharpened.
SGSSAA[citation needed]
This method only works on NVIDIA graphics cards and on requires a 16:9 resolution.
  1. Open The Wolf Among Us driver profile via NVIDIA Profile Inspector.
  2. Change Antialiasing compatibility to 0x204002C1[2]
  3. Change Antialiasing - Mode to Override any application setting
  4. Change Antialiasing - Setting to 4x [4x Multisampling] or 8xQ [8x Multisampling]
  5. Change Antialiasing - Transparency Supersampling to 4x Sparse Grid Supersampling or 8x Sparse Grid Supersampling
  6. Apply changes.

Notes

Keep in mind that both Antialiasing - Setting and Antialiasing - Transparency Supersampling should always use the same number.
SGSSAA might blur the entire screen (lowering texture quality). If you don't like the effect only use MSAA, which offers considerable object edge sharpening without any blurring.

Ambient Occlusion

HBAO+[3][4]
This method only works on NVIDIA graphics cards.
  1. Open the The Wolf Among Us NVIDIA profile with NVIDIA Profile Inspector. [1]
  2. Change Ambient Occlusion compatibility value to 0x00000010.
  3. Change Ambient Occlusion setting to Quality.
  4. Change Ambient Occlusion usage to Enabled.
  5. Press "Apply Changes" in the top-right corner.

Notes

A new profile referencing fables.exe may need to be created if that is the filename used in the owned release. The stock NVIDIA profile references thewolfamongus.exe. The GOG release is one which uses fables.exe.
Bleeding can occur in the main menu but no other place.

Place a .dll file to the installation folder[6]
  1. Download dinput8.dll file from here.

Notes

Do not forget to delete dinput8.dll from the installation folder, after upgrading to Windows 8.1 to avoid future possible problems.

Game does not save

Problem is caused by non-English characters in save game path.[7]
Rename save game path to English characters only[7]
