Widescreen resolution

Force any resolution in Exclusive fullscreen mode

Go to the configuration file(s) location.
Open GameUserSettings.ini.
Change the following values:

ResolutionSizeX=2560
ResolutionSizeY=1080
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=2560
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=1080
...
FullscreenMode=0
LastConfirmedFullscreenMode=0
PreferredFullscreenMode=0

Anti-aliasing (AA)

Enable SSAA

Go to the configuration file(s) location.
Open Engine.ini.
Add [/script/engine.streamingsettings] to the bottom if it is not already there.
Add r.ScreenPercentage=150 below the previously mentioned line.

Notes

Values between 100.000000 and 200.000000 are recommended. If using a value that isn't a multiple of 100, forcing TAA is recommended.

The width of outlines around characters is dependent on rendering resolution; Rendering at higher than 2160p can make outlines on opponents difficult to see.

Enable TAA

Go to the configuration file(s) location.
Open Engine.ini.
Add [/script/engine.streamingsettings] to the bottom if it is not already there.
Add the following lines below the previously mentioned one

r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=2
r.TemporalAACurrentFrameWeight=0.4
r.TemporalAASamples=64
r.TemporalAASharpness=1.0

Notes

TAA (Temporal Anti Aliasing) can produce smoother edges, but looks grainy in motion. Recommended when forcing SSAA.

Tested through HDMI output on a 5.1 system. The surround channels are barely used due to the 2-dimensional nature of the gameplay, but there are some LFE/subwoofer effects.
