Widescreen resolution[edit]

Multi-monitor screenshot showcasing bad HUD.[1]
Disadvantage Coffee Stain Studios have announced that they will not actively support multiple monitors.[2]

Fix Set resolution

Disadvantage The game's HUD does not render well on multiple-monitor resolutions.
  1. Open %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Sanctum\SanctumGame\Config\SanctumEngine.ini
  2. Locate any entry for ResX= and change it to your horizontal resolution (e.g., ResX=1920).
  3. Locate any entry for ResY= and change it to your vertical resolution (e.g., ResY=1080).
  4. Locate the entry AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainXFOV and replace it with: 
    AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV
  5. Save your changes.

Anisotropic filtering (AF)[edit]

Fix Modifying AF

  1. Go to <path-to-game>\Engine\Config\
  2. Edit BaseEngine.ini using Notepad. Navigate to the [SystemSettings] section.
  3. Modify the entry MaxAnisotropy=## replacing ## with the desired value.
  4. Save the file.

Anti-aliasing (AA)[edit]

Fix Forcing AA[3]

Disadvantage Using the following tweak makes the game client prone to graphics artifacts and/or crashing.
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\Engine\Config\
  2. Edit BaseEngine.ini using Notepad. Navigate to the [SystemSettings] section.
  3. Modify the entry bAllowD3D9MSAA=False to show bAllowD3D9MSAA=True
