Instructions |
---|
Disable depth of field
- This only disables depth of field on background and when not aiming.
- This enhances antialiasing on forests and objects that are near, stabilizes the frame rate fluctuation, fixes the low-res textures on the background and can give a huge FPS boost in open view areas, for example, on the top of a tower.
Instructions |
---|
Disable HDR
- Disabling HDR improves performance.
Instructions |
---|
Disable ambient occlusion
- Ambient occlusion can't be disabled completely through the in-game settings when playing in DirectX 11, only switched to various techniques available (SSAO, HBAO, HDAO).
- Use of SSAO makes MSAA useless because the way it's implemented[1]
Instructions |
---|
Disable motion blur
- Disabling also helps to reduce input lag.
- Even if motion blur is handled by PostFX setting, completely disabling PostFX doesn't seem to work. It can be disabled with
<post>
in configuration file but game seems to remove it with every launch.
