Anisotropic filtering (AF)
Patch the graphics to 32-bit before forcing AF from the level of graphical drivers. See Widescreen resolution.
Anti-aliasing (AA)
Patch the graphics to 32-bit before forcing AA from the level of graphical drivers. See Widescreen resolution.
- Forcing antialiasing might make in-game fonts distorted, to prevent that, enable "Alternate Pixel Centers" if you have an ATI card. Alternatively, force Supersampling anti-aliasing (SSAA) to resolve font distortion.
Input settings
- To enable Force Feedback on XInput controller, see XInput force feedback vibration in DirectInput games.

Can't enable 3d acceleration
