'''Notes'''
 
{{ii}} {{code|GstRender.AntiAliasingDeferred}} does not seem to have any effect.
 
{{ii}} If the game crashes after this change, change the reflection details to low with ({{code|GstRender.ReflectionQuality 0}}).<ref>https://forums.mirrorsedge.com/discussion/comment/6347/#Comment_6347</ref>
 
{{ii}} Because of the game's visual direction having massive amount of high contrast edges and constantly moving camera, disabling anti-aliasing produces massive amount of aliasing and shimmering, and since the screen space reflections rely on temporal accumulation, disabling TAA will cause visual bugs. If using resolution scaling is too demanding, applying some other form of anti-aliasing externally, e.g. [[SMAA]] using [[ReShade]] is highly recommended.
 
{{ii}} If disabling TAA is not a viable option, using a sharpening filter like AMD's Radeon Image Sharpening or Nvidia's Freestyle Sharpen is recommended, since it helps reduce the TAA blur, especially at higher resolutions.
