Coalesced.ini needs to be decoded before it can be edited; use TF Games Configuration Utility.
Coalesced.int contains localization info and must also be decoded (Appears to only be text strings, change it for making a fan translation. Can't change the language through the int without changing every line manually. Not recommended for trying to use one of the official localizations).
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Activision\Transformers Fall Of Cybertron\ has a String named 'language'. Change its data to 'INT' for English, 'FRA' for French, 'DEU' for German, 'ESP' for Spanish, 'ITA' for Italian, 'RUS' for Russian.

Video
| Graphics feature | State | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Widescreen resolution | |||
| Multi-monitor | Use Flawless Widescreen or Widescreen Fixer. | ||
| Ultra-widescreen | Use Flawless Widescreen or Widescreen Fixer. | ||
| 4K Ultra HD | The game runs fine on 1440p and 1620p, but on 2160p the textures get bugged and load only low-res textures. However, setting a custom resolution of 1800p (3200x1800) somehow allows the textures to load. Subtitles also scales poorly with resolutions larger than 1280 pixels wide, making them too small in very high resolutions. | ||
| Field of view (FOV) | Use Flawless Widescreen. Affects scope zoom (larger FOV = less zoom). | ||
| Windowed | |||
| Borderless fullscreen windowed | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
| Anisotropic filtering (AF) | Default is 4 samples (MaxAnisotropy=4); set MaxAnisotropy=16 in Coalesced.ini for 16 samples. |
||
| Anti-aliasing (AA) | Extra Quality graphics setting uses unknown form of post process AA. Sampling-based AA can be forced through Nvidia Inspector with 0x00000245 AA compatibility flag;[2] alternatively you can turn on FXAA and/or set MaxMultisamples=x (MSAA) Replace x with,2,4,6,or 8. in Coalesced.ini |
||
| Vertical sync (Vsync) | |||
| 60 FPS | |||
| 120+ FPS | Capped and frame data tied at 60 FPS. Use the -silent FPS=118 launch option.[3] Warning: Physics can glitch out, speed up cutscenes and can give a unfair side effect in multiplayer against opponent players similar to speedhacking and chances put into a third team.[4][5][6] |

| High dynamic range display (HDR) | See the glossary page for potential alternatives. | ||

Since the multiplayer servers are down, the debug camera and other features can't be (ab)used for cheating. They still function just fine for single-player. https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/2255-fall-of-cybertron-debug-camera-controls/
