Instructions^[2]
Go to <path-to-game>. Create a new file named `user.cfg`. Open the file with your text editor of choice. Write `Render.ForceFov #` where `#` is your prefered fov. Save your changes.

On higher end machines it's possible to use resolution scaling for downsampling up to two times the dimensions of selected resolution. Post processing antialiasing is applied before downsampling is done.

Antialiasing is controlled by overall quality presets, and post-processing antialiasing is applied with every preset excluding Low.

Disable antialiasing on custom preset^{[citation needed]}

Set in game preset to Custom.
Go to the configuration file(s) location.
Open PROF_SAVE_profile with preferred text editor.
Change GstRender.AntiAliasingDeferred and GstRender.AntiAliasingPost to 0.
Start the game.

Notes

GstRender.AntiAliasingDeferred does not seem to have any effect.

If the game crashes after this change, change the reflection details to low with (GstRender.ReflectionQuality 0).^[3]

Because of games visual direction having massive amount of high contrast edges and constantly moving camera, disabling antialias produces massive amount of aliasing and shimmering. If using resolution scale gives too massive performance hit, applying some other form of antialiasing externally, e.g. SMAA using ReShade is highly recommended.

Issues fixed

Blurry visuals and textures

By default, if the game tries to utilize more VRAM than is available, it will automatically decrease the quality of game assets, including textures and shadows.

Instructions

Stuttering

This fix resolves stuttering at regular intervals, unconfirmed if it fixes other stuttering.

Instructions

Instructions

Change refresh rate^{[citation needed]}
Set your monitors refresh rate at 60hz.^{[citation needed]} Set in-game fullscreen option to `windowed`. Try setting GameTime.MaxVariableFPS to 60 or 30

Move save files to SSD^{[citation needed]}
If your game is on a SSD but the save files are present on a HDD, it will cause stuttering and CPU/GPU spikes every 5 seconds or so. Move your save files to the SSD or create a symbolic link.
