Graphics feature State WSGF Notes
Widescreen resolution
 
 4:3, 16:9, 16:10 only; for others use Flawless Widescreen/Widescreen Fixer.
Multi-monitor
 
 Use Flawless Widescreen or Widescreen Fixer.
Ultra-widescreen
 
 Use Flawless Widescreen (fixed HUD) or Widescreen Fixer (stretched HUD).
4K Ultra HD
 
Field of view (FOV)
Racer_S FOV tool
Windowed
Use DxWnd.
Borderless fullscreen windowed
Use Borderless Gaming.
Anisotropic filtering (AF)
Anti-aliasing (AA)
See Anti-aliasing (AA).
Vertical sync (Vsync)
60 FPS and 120+ FPS
High FPS may break physics events or NPC A.I. in some areas, preventing progress. Limiting FPS at these points with Vsync fixes the issues.
High dynamic range display (HDR)
See the glossary page for potential alternatives.

Anti-aliasing (AA)

In-game MSAA (labeled as Fullscreen Anti-Aliasing) will disable shadows.[3]
Better AA solutions[citation needed]
  • Force MSAA via display drivers (make sure 'Behavior Flags' is set to 'None' via Nvidia Profile Inspector if using an Nvidia card).
  • Use Nvidia's DSR or AMD's VSR to force a higher resolution and downsample it to the monitor (best used in conjunction with something like SMAA or MLAA, since Downsampling makes the image sharper, but doesn't get rid of edge-aliasing).

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/8000/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (8000) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
