Graphical tweaks

The graphics settings for Alpha Protocol are rather basic. There are some other settings which can be altered in the APEngine.ini file which can be found in the following folder:
{{p|userprofile}}\Documents\Alpha Protocol\APGame\Config\APEngine.ini

Before editing the file you must right click it, select properties and uncheck the "read only" box. Editing the following settings should improve the game's graphics (note: it is probably best to make a backup of this file before editing it in case something goes wrong):

  • Trilinear=True
  • EnableHighPolyChars=True
  • MaxShadowResolution=4096 (Set this to 1024, 2048 or 4096 depending on your PC capability)
  • bEnableBranchingPCFShadows=True
  • bEnableForegroundShadowsOnWorld=True
  • UseBackgroundLevelStreaming=False
  • OnlyStreamInTextures=True
  • OneFrameThreadLag=False

Then set the file to read only again in its properties and launch the game.
