Video
Graphics feature | State | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|
Widescreen resolution | |||
Multi-monitor | At least on Linux, running in Borderless Windowed and maximising automatically adjusts FOV and resolution correctly without any problems. Hud isn't stretched, but remains on the edges of the displays. FOV becomes locked at 100 relative to the total width (i.e. scales correctly), and changing the in-game option no longer makes any difference. (Tested on 3x1080p displays with bezel correction, for a total horizontal resolution of 5830p). | ||
Ultra-widescreen | Hor+.[3] | ||
4K Ultra HD | |||
Field of view (FOV) | Set from 80 - 120° in Gameplay options (default is 100°). Can be increased in .ini file.[citation needed] | ||
Windowed | |||
Borderless fullscreen windowed | |||
Anisotropic filtering (AF) | Texture quality affects anisotropic filtering and streaming memory size. Can be manually set in .ini file.[citation needed] | ||
Anti-aliasing (AA) | FXAA, TAA (experimental), DLAA. | ||
Vertical sync (Vsync) | |||
60 FPS and 120+ FPS | Maximum framerate can optionally be set between 30 and 244 FPS. | ||
High dynamic range display (HDR) | Experimental. Windows HDR, DX12 mode, and fullscreen mode must be enabled.[citation needed] |
- The game engine may allow for manual configuration of the game via its variables. See the Unreal Engine 4 page for more details.
