Anisotropic filtering (AF)

Anisotropic filtering is tied to the graphics detail level but can also be set manually.

Anisotropic filtering^{[citation needed]}
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `options.txt`. Change `setOption(renderingModule, "Anisotropy", X)` to the desired value.

Anti-aliasing (AA)

Game does feature SSAA, but enforces FXAA on top of it. FXAA is known to blur image so some users may want to disable it.

Disable FXAA and enable SSAA through config^{[citation needed]}
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `options.txt`. Locate `setOption(renderingModule, "PostProcessAntiAliasing", true)` and change to `false`. Locate `setOption(renderingModule, "AntiAliasSamples", 0)` and change to desired SSAA value.

High frame rate

Remove frame rate cap^{[citation needed]}
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `options.txt`. Locate `setOption(gameBaseApplicationModule, "FPSCapEnabled", true)` and change to `false`. In the Trine 3 launcher, it may be necessary to change the refresh rate from "Automatic" to the actual number in hertz (windowed also works).

Disable bloom

Disable bloom^{[citation needed]}
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `options.txt`. Locate `setOption(renderingModule, "ShowGlow", true)` and change to `false`.
