Improve HairWorks performance

Regarding this tweak, I'd like to share my findings after some testing:

  • The user.settings file does not have to be set read-only. Doing so will only prevent users from modifying in-game video settings. Even if they did the tweak still would remain. If you would check out the PC presets in <path-to-game>\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc it can be seen that there are no preset values for HairWorksAALevel. It is a "base" setting similar to Unreal Engine's. And it is set in <path-to-game>\bin\config\base\rendering.ini. Settings in user.settings override the base ones.
  • HairWorksAALevel can be set to other values than 2 and 4 (Default value is 8). Setting it to 0 disables HairWorks anti-aliasing, which is a big performance improvement.

I am using the GOG (Galaxy) version, there might be differences between different versions of the game. Please share your findings before making permanent changes in the article.
