The goal of PCGamingWiki is to have a page dedicated to every single PC game, and for that page to contain everything one would need to know in order for the game to be 'up to date' and provide them the best possible experience. This would include 'how to' information such as:
 
{| id="mp-topbanner" style="width:100%;"
 
| style="width:25%; font-size:95%;" |
 
* Cloud syncing save data
 
* Bug workarounds
 
* Skip videos and cutscenes
 
| style="width:25%; font-size:95%;" |
 
* Borderless fullscreen windowed
 
* Save game locations
 
* Mods considered essential
 
| style="width:25%; font-size:95%;" |
 
* Console commands and cfgs
 
* Latest patch or fan patch
 
* Hardware
 
| style="width:25%; font-size:95%;" |
 
* Common errors
 
* Digital/retail differences
 
* Graphical issues

Using graphics tools (ATI Tray Tools or nHancer) to force a negative level of detail and high quality x16 anisotropic filtering may be a better graphics tradeoff.
 
*ATI Tray Tools anistropic filtering is better than the option provided by the game.
 
*Objects look crisper when they appear in the draw distance.

The demo of Kingdoms of Amalur is reportedly buggy and not indicative of the quality of the released game.

The largest bug in the demo is black screen during game play. The UI and game sounds will render, but the rest of the game will not. This can be fixed by turning off Post Processing in the graphics options.
