Alien: Isolation is a singleplayer first-person survival horror, stealth, action and shooter game in the Alien series.

The PC version lacks a voice detection feature from the console versions where the player must maintain the microphone's noise level during the game.

The anti-aliasing that ships with the game is rather poor but can be improved.^[3] See Anti-aliasing (AA).

Anisotropic filtering (AF)	Up to 16x, but does not cover all textures; it is recommended to prefer driver-level AF.
Anti-aliasing (AA)	FXAA, SMAA T1X, SMAA T2X (unavailable in SLI/Crossfire). See Anti-aliasing (AA).
Vertical sync (Vsync)
60 FPS and 120+ FPS	Cutscenes are pre-rendered at 30 FPS. Audio during death scenes may be silent when the frame rate is over 100 FPS.
High dynamic range display (HDR)	Supports 10-bit output via Deep Color option. Does not support HDR natively. Hackable via Special K.

The built-in anti-aliasing methods don't clean up aliasing and shimmering on high-contrast edges well enough, thus it might be preferable to use TAA instead, which will provide better performance than using downsampling methods such as NVIDIA's DSR.

Updated Fork of Alias Isolation with performance fix^[6]
Download and extract Alias Isolation to <path-to-game>. Download and extract Ultimate ASI Loader to <path-to-game>. Apply the following in-game video settings Anti-aliasing must be set to SMAA T1x. Chromatic Aberration must be disabled. Motion blur must be enabled. Notes This version does not currently support the Cinematic Tools mod. If using Proton, add `WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d11=n,b"` command line argument in the game properties. Only the Steam version is supported.

Issues fixed

Missing sound-effects (High FPS Issues)

When frame-rates are high, there are issues playing audio sound effects during the following (known) scenarios:

"Alien kills Ripley" death scenes.
"Working Joe kills Ripley" death scenes
"Ripley struggles against Working Joe" combat scenes

Cap FPS with RTSS^[10]
Download and install MSI Afterburner with RivaTuner. In RivaTuner, create a new profile for (`AI.exe`). Limit frame rate to 105FPS and enable `Custom Direct3D Support` for (`AI.exe`) in RivaTuner. Notes It is possible that there are other, higher frame rates than 105 FPS that also fix the issue, but this is unexplored. If limiting to 105 FPS doesn't work, try lowering it to 100 FPS.

Cap FPS with RTSS^[10]

Download and install MSI Afterburner with RivaTuner.
In RivaTuner, create a new profile for (AI.exe).
Limit frame rate to 105FPS and enable Custom Direct3D Support for (AI.exe) in RivaTuner.

Notes

It is possible that there are other, higher frame rates than 105 FPS that also fix the issue, but this is unexplored. If limiting to 105 FPS doesn't work, try lowering it to 100 FPS.

Enable V-sync in Graphics Options and set refresh rate to 60 Hz^{[citation needed]}

Game shows "Disk access" error while loading

Run the game (`AI.exe`) as administrator

Give full permissions to your user on installation folder^{[citation needed]}

Brightness issues

When using a flamethrower or plasma cutter, there is a chance that the whole screen will become excessively bright and blurry. The issue is likely connected with the trainer for the game.

Change anti-aliasing setting in game options^{[citation needed]}

Turn off any trainers^{[citation needed]}

Crashing every 15 minutes on Windows 10

Game plays normally but crashes every 10 to 15 minutes on Windows 10. This issue is caused by a touch screen keyboard service.

Disable touch screen keyboard service^[11]^[12]
Open Task Manager. Go to Services. Identify TabletInputService (Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service). Stop the service Notes Disabling this service will not disable the touchscreen, but may disable the use of the touchscreen's keyboard. The actual executables associated with this service are usually `TabTip.exe` or `TabTip32.exe`.

Stop the service

Notes

Disabling this service will not disable the touchscreen, but may disable the use of the touchscreen's keyboard.

The actual executables associated with this service are usually TabTip.exe or TabTip32.exe.

Menu customization

By editing engine_settings.xml, in-game video options are easy to modify, and changes will be reflected in the game's menu as well.

Editing `engine_settings.xml` file
A specific setting line in the file 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`, `bool`, or `float`. 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. So `precedence=2` will be the next item after `precedence=1`.

A specific setting line in the file consists of:

Next is the actual value, which can be a int, bool, or float.
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. So precedence=2 will be the next item after precedence=1.

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.

SLI Compatibility Bits Modification^[13]
Open the game profile via Nvidia Profile Inspector. Change `SLI compatibility bits (DX1x)` to `0x0C0080F5` Apply changes. Notes Light shaft flicker when using this fix appears to be itself fixable by increasing shadow map resolution to 4K. See Enhanced menu options.

-===Menu Customization===
+===[[Glossary:Anti-aliasing (AA)|Anti-aliasing (AA)]]===
-* 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.
+{{ii}} The built-in anti-aliasing methods don't clean up aliasing and shimmering on high-contrast edges well enough, thus it might be preferable to use TAA instead, which will provide better performance than using downsampling methods such as NVIDIA's DSR.
-* 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:
-# <code><Quality </code>, followed by
-# the <code>name=</code> which is reflected as the setting name you see in-game (i.e. HDAO). Next is
-# the actual value, which can be a <code>int</code>, <code>bool</code> or <code>float</code>. The line content then ends with
-# a <code>precedence=</code> which determines the order of the Quality items. A higher number means the item is more on the right. So <code>precedence=2</code> will be the next item after <code>precedence=1</code>.
-* Example: With this knowledge the [[#Field of view (FOV)|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:
-{{Fixbox|1=
-{{Fixbox/fix|Customizing FOV slider|ref=<ref name="steamaitweak">[http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=324612199 ALIEN: Isolation Tweak Guide | steamcommunity.com]</ref>}}
-# Open the ''engine_settings.xml'' file located in the DATA folder in main game install directory.
-# Locate the Field Of View setting. The node starts with <code><Setting name="Field Of View"></code> and ends with <code></Setting></code>
-# Now customize the lines in between. For example, remove every of those lines and insert <code><Quality name="75" float="47.0" precedence="1"/></code>, <code><Quality name="80" float="51.0" precedence="2"/></code> and <code><Quality name="85" float="55.0" precedence="3"/></code>.
-# Save changes.
-* The FOV slider now has three possible settings: A horizontal FOV of 75, 80 or 85.

 ==Issues fixed==
+===Missing sound-effects (High FPS Issues)===
+{{ii}} When frame-rates are high, there are issues playing audio sound effects during the following (known) scenarios:
+# "Alien kills Ripley" death scenes.
+# "Working Joe kills Ripley" death scenes
+# "Ripley struggles against Working Joe" combat scenes
+{{Fixbox|description=Cap FPS with RTSS|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/214490/discussions/0/619568192687904234/?ctp=2#c364039785160204217|title=death scene sounds!! :: Alien: Isolation General Discussions|date=2016-04-24}}</ref>|fix=
+# Download and install MSI Afterburner with RivaTuner.
+# In RivaTuner, create a new profile for (<code>AI.exe</code>).
+# Limit frame rate to 105FPS and enable <code>Custom Direct3D Support</code> for (<code>AI.exe</code>) in RivaTuner.
+'''Notes'''
+{{ii}} It is possible that there are other, higher frame rates than 105 FPS that also fix the issue, but this is unexplored. If limiting to 105 FPS doesn't work, try lowering it to 100 FPS.

 ===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===
+{{ii}} When using a flamethrower or plasma cutter, there is a chance that the whole screen will become excessively bright and blurry. The issue is likely connected with the trainer for the game.
+{{Fixbox|description=Change anti-aliasing setting in game options|ref={{cn|date=September 2016}}}}
+{{Fixbox|description=Turn off any trainers|ref={{cn|date=September 2016}}}}
+===Crashing every 15 minutes on Windows 10===
+{{ii}} Game plays normally but crashes every 10 to 15 minutes on Windows 10. This issue is caused by a touch screen keyboard service.
+{{Fixbox|description=Disable touch screen keyboard service<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/214490/discussions/0/2765630416810232079/|title=Steam Community|date=May 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.neogaf.com/threads/windows-10-games-crashing-after-15-minutes-fix.1148961/|title=neogaf.com|date=May 2023}}</ref>|fix=
+# Open Task Manager.
+# Go to Services.
+# Identify TabletInputService (Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service).
+# Stop the service
+'''Notes'''
+{{ii}} Disabling this service will not disable the touchscreen, but may disable the use of the touchscreen's keyboard.
+{{ii}} The actual executables associated with this service are usually {{file|TabTip.exe}} or {{file|TabTip32.exe}}.

+===Menu customization===
+{{ii}} By editing {{file|engine_settings.xml}}, in-game video options are easy to modify, and changes will be reflected in the game's menu as well.
+{{Fixbox|description=Editing {{file|engine_settings.xml}} file|fix=
+{{ii}} A specific setting line in the file consists of:
+# <code><Quality </code>, followed by the <code>name=</code> which is reflected as the setting name you see in-game (i.e. HDAO).
+# Next is the actual value, which can be a <code>int</code>, <code>bool</code>, or <code>float</code>.
+# The line content then ends with a <code>precedence=</code> which determines the order of the Quality items. A higher number means the item is more on the right. So <code>precedence=2</code> will be the next item after <code>precedence=1</code>.
+}}
+===SLI fix===
+{{ii}} 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.
+{{Fixbox|description=SLI Compatibility Bits Modification|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=10381214&postcount=1721|title=3DCenter SLI thread (#1721)|date=9 June 2023}}</ref>|fix=
+# Open the game profile via [[Nvidia Profile Inspector]].
+# Change <code>SLI compatibility bits (DX1x)</code> to <code>0x0C0080F5</code>
+# Apply changes.
+'''Notes'''
+{{ii}} Light shaft flicker when using this fix appears to be itself fixable by increasing shadow map resolution to 4K. See [[#Enhanced menu options|Enhanced menu options]].
