FOV and multiplier values^{[citation needed]}

Below are scaling multipliers and FOV values specific to them (FOV - multiplier):

60° = 0.857
70° = 1
80° = 1.142
90° = 1.285

Notes

Some sections of config file may not be present, until a specific gamemode is played for the first time.

Anisotropic filtering (AF)

Anisotropic filtering is changed along with streaming options, when player adjusts Texture Detail.

Texture Detail	AF samples
1	Disabled
2	Disabled
3	4x
4	4x
5	16x

It is possible to manually change the Anisotropic filtering options.

Manually changing AF by editing config file^{[citation needed]}

Edit %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Section 8 Prejudice - PC\S9Game\Config\S9Engine.ini
Find a line MaxAnisotropy= and change its value.

Notes

Changing any graphical option will result in a game reverting the settings to original values.

Anti-aliasing (AA)

There is an option for Multisampling in S9Engine.ini, but it does nothing. Instead use SMAA injector or force AA from graphics drivers panel.

Installing AA injector^{[citation needed]}
Download either SMAA injector. Go to `<path-to-game>\Binaries\Win32\` and paste the files here. Open `injector.ini`. Change `weird_steam_hack = 0` to `weird_steam_hack = 1`.
