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. Open The Wolf Among Us driver profile via NVIDIA Profile Inspector. Change `Antialiasing compatibility` to `0x204002C1`^[2] Change `Antialiasing - Mode` to `Override any application setting` Change `Antialiasing - Setting` to `4x [4x Multisampling]` or `8xQ [8x Multisampling]` Apply changes. Notes Shadows will not be sharpened.

Change Antialiasing compatibility to 0x204002C1^[2]
Change Antialiasing - Mode to Override any application setting
Change Antialiasing - Setting to 4x [4x Multisampling] or 8xQ [8x Multisampling]
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. Open The Wolf Among Us driver profile via NVIDIA Profile Inspector. Change `Antialiasing compatibility` to `0x204002C1`^[2] Change `Antialiasing - Mode` to `Override any application setting` Change `Antialiasing - Setting` to `4x [4x Multisampling]` or `8xQ [8x Multisampling]` Change `Antialiasing - Transparency Supersampling` to `4x Sparse Grid Supersampling` or `8x Sparse Grid Supersampling` 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

Change `Ambient Occlusion setting` to `Quality`. Change `Ambient Occlusion usage` to `Enabled`. 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.
