Field of view (FOV)
- Slider in menu goes from 47-75° vertical, with the higher FOV on the left side of the slider.
- Slider is using vertical field of view value. Use calculator for conversion to horizontal value.
- A FOV higher than 55° makes the main character's legs and feet disappear.
Level of Detail (Pop-in Distance) Increase
- Default Level of Detail setting even on Ultra results in excessive object pop-in which can be rectified.

SLI Fix
- Default SLI compatibility bits do not scale properly in certain areas. Use alternative bits to improve performance at expense of some minor UI & light shaft flicker in places.

Issues fixed
Game shows "Disk access" error while loading
- Run the game as administrator (AI.exe) or give full permissions to your user on game's directory.
Brightness issues
When using a flamethrower or plasma cutter, there is a little percent that a whole screen becomes very bright and blurry. Most likely it's connected with the trainer for the game. To fix this, simply change the antialiasing setting in game options or turn off the trainers.
Other information
Lens Flare
The Lens Flare can be disabled by deleting or renaming the LENS_FLARE*.bin files in the DATA directory of the game.
Menu Customization
- By editing engine_settings.xml it is fairly easy to customize the in-game video options. Some of the fixes and enhancements below make use of that.
- For example, shadow map resolution can be increased significantly and the change can be reflected in the in-game menu as well. This means that settings can be overwritten or even added to existing ones.
- A specific setting line in the xml consists of:
<Quality, followed by- the
name=which is reflected as the setting name you see in-game (i.e. HDAO). Next is - the actual value, which can be a
int,boolorfloat. The line content then ends with - a
precedence=which determines the order of the Quality items. A higher number means the item is more on the right. Soprecedence=2will be the next item afterprecedence=1.
- Example: With this knowledge the FOV slider can be customized to show horizontal FOV values instead of the default vertical ones. Furthermore, we can cut off all values that don't show the main character's body anymore:

Increased Planar Reflections

| Instructions |
|---|
Increased Shadow Map Resolution
2K Shadow Maps (Vanilla)
4K Shadow Maps with flickering
- In-game settings allow for a maximum shadow map resolution of 2048. It is possible to change the settings and increase the value.
