Anisotropic filtering (AF)[edit]
- There is no separate anisotropic filtering slider available in the options. Anisotropic filtering is determined by the overall graphics preset, labeled "Graphics Quality" in the menu. When modifying individual graphics options to create a custom "Graphics Quality" configuration, the anisotropic filtering setting is determined by the last selected preset, regardless of what individual graphics options are selected.
- Forcing anisotropic filtering through video driver causes texture shimmering.
